Want to try hotpot but at the same time want to stay healthy? Steampot is your solution! In order to try this steampot, we called to book a week before as we learnt from friends that only several tables were able to serve steampot and special seafood had to be prepared in advance. Good food only available for those who prepared!!Upon our arrival at 7pm, there had been quite some tables filled.

In order to try this steampot, we called to book a week before as we learnt from friends that only several tables were able to serve steampot and special seafood had to be prepared in advance. Good food only available for those who prepared!!
Upon our arrival at 7pm, there had been quite some tables filled. Apart from normal seats, there were also VIP rooms and mahjong available - really considerate.
Though there were quite some different menu, we chose the steampot set without hesitation!
1) Spicy Chicken in Pot 招牌雞煲（⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💢): To stay healthy, we chose to have the least spicy one but it was equally tasty. The chicken was soft and meaty. Although it wasnt spicy, it had a strong herb taste, which stimulated our sensation!
2) Steamed Lobster 龍蝦 (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️): Two people shared one lobster and this cooking method exemplified its freshness. Without any seasoning, we could relish its sea water taste. Also, its meat was solid and easy for us to take off. Its size wasnt small but definitely wasnt enough!!
3) Steamed crab 肉蟹 (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💢): Similar to lobster, two people shared one crab and the crab itself not very big. Yet, its meat was very delicate when steamed without other seasonings. Besides, it was thoroughly washed and the sharp tips were cut - very considerate.
4) Steamed Geoduck 象拔蚌/ Razor Clam 聖子王 /Oyster 生蠔 / Abalone 鮑魚 (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💢): The timing control was particularly good - they were thoroughly cooked but not over. For Razor Clam, we added some garlic source to steam which boosted the taste. But there was a trade-off that the garlic taste partially covered the clam freshness. I would say both were good and it all depended on your preference.
5) Steam Think Beef 牛頭脊 (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️): It was very different from the meat slice we did in other hotpot stores. It was thickly sliced and the meat wasnt very fat. It had a chewy texture that you couldnt find in other typical hotpot beef.
6) Congee with Pumpkin and Pork 南瓜排骨粥(⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💢): It was cooked in the steampot during the cooking process. It absorbed the taste of other steamed food. The portion was big and made you full!
7) Steamed Vegetable 自選菜籃(⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💢): Several kinds of vegetables included, such as corns and mushroom. Frankly speaking, the taste wasnt very rich but this way of cooking was very healthy. There were other options too if you wanted a stronger taste.
8) Daily dessert (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💢): Very rich milk taste and the pudding wasnt too hard. A good end of the meal!
Apart from the food, the service was excellent too. There was a waitress serving our table and she did all the steaming. She could manage the steaming time well and she keep our eating pace well - not too rush.
All in all, this restaurant was excellent! Food was good and excellent service. Definitely would come back!
