Atas steamboat experience

I brought mum to SGH for a follow-up access before her op in Jan.
It was a long wait, by the time we finished it was time for an early dinner.

We felt that we should settled down for a good dinner. Perhaps a steamboat so that we can rest and enjoy the food in leisure.

CK suggested this particular restaurant. It was fully booked but we were early and as long as we could finished our dinner within 2 hours, we could use a reserved table first. My favourite sauce to go with the steamboat is a concoction of a small quantity of chilli padi, a generous pinch of coriander leaves and garlic and soya sauce with steamboat.

All ingredients were fresh and hand-made and placed in over-sized plates.

We ordered some fresh prawns ... we dipped three prawns into the hot pot first. CK got a rude shock that the remaining prawns left on the plates seems to be wriggling!!! We quickly dipped the rest of the prawns into the hot pot! We thought that it was very cruel to put the prawn into a stick while they were still alive. Ok, you could guess how we feel while eating the remaining prawns!

Besides the steep price for this steamboat, the "wriggling" prawns experience really put us off!
