Bei Shan Chuan 北上川

You should have seen my eyes lit up when mom said that we were going to have Steamboat for dinner at Bei Shan Chuan, together with my grandparents last Saturday night. My heart leaped a bit because I simply loooovvvveeeee Steamboat!

Bei Shan Chuan Steamboat Restaurant is known for their Steamboat Buffet, in which you can also make a choice of any 2 different bases of soup for your Steamboat- Mala Soup, Chicken Soup and Tom Yam Soup.

Name: Bei Shan Chuan Spicy Steam Boat Restaurant
Address: Vivo City #03-07 ( Beside Daiso, hiding at one corner)
Telephone: 6222 3880
Price: $16.90 per pax (Weekdays) $18.90 per pax (Weekends)
* Prices exclude discounts for senior citizens, students, and NSF*

Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by the chic oriental feel that makes one feel welcomed and at home. The warm spotlights and lotus-like lamps also add on to the warm ambiance.

As mentioned afore, you can have a choice of 2 different soup bases in one Steamboat! I tried Ma La and Chicken Soup base for my table, and it wasn't too bad. However for the Ma La soup, it was more peppery and blend as compared to the authentic Ma La Soup. As for the Chicken Soup Base, it was really 'normal'.

How this restaurant works is simple. On every table would be a Steamboat, and you can head on to the buffet table where a variety of food is laid. Ranging from Seafood, to Finger food, Dessert, Fruits, you can simply take your pick according to your preference and head back to your table to cook.

Any how, I personally feel that their Beef and Fish are more tasty as compared to the rest of the food, which tasted pretty normal.

On the flip side, this place charges you for your drinks - and that means no free flow of plain iced water or warm water. Could you recall a place where you were charged $1.00 for a glass of water? Quite ridiculous if you ask me.

In addition, the Steamboat doesn't have a cover, so boiling/cooking would take quite some time.

In summary, this place is average but I personally feel that it is a little pricey for a Steamboat Buffet Dinner. For the same price, you could probably buy enough groceries that could last for 2 Steamboat Dinners.
