Hot Pot Bone Essence Steamboat at Jalan Kuchai Maju is our latest favorite steamboat restaurant. The first time hubby tried this steamboat was with his friends, for supper. He liked it so much that the next day, he brought us there again for dinner. 2 weeks later, we went there again to celebrate Baby’s 2nd birthday.
Do note that there is Happy Hour after 9pm, which means that the price is RM6 cheaper per pax. The price per pax is RM19.80 during regular hours and RM13.80 after 9pm. The steamboat items come in a set and is not eat-as-much-as-you-can or buffet style.
What I like about Hot Pot Bone Essence is that the pot of soup is boiled using huge pork bones, thus it is very tasty. MSG level is also very low and I don’t need to keep gulping down water after the steamboat meal. This restaurant also makes all types of ‘balls’ with good ingredients. You won’t get starchy fish balls or meat balls but unique looking and tasty ‘balls’. I love their shrimp balls, lobster balls, crab roe balls, sea urchin balls and their thinly sliced pork, beef and lamb.
Our set for 5 adults and 2 kids.

This deep fried tofu is crispy on the outside and silky smooth on the inside. Very yummy!

You should try shabu shabu in Kuchai! Each person has its own pot of soup. Yummy….
Hot pot in my city, San Francisco, is overly priced. Average price is $25USD and the selections are not grand like yours. For a bigger feast, it’s even more expensive, $30USD. My sister visited Vietnam last year and she said hot pots there is sooo much better and the broths were so delicious. If I ever visit Malaysia, I will definitely gain weight as I read so many wonderful foods you guys have other there!
mmm.. yummy… i like hot pot too…
The soup sure looks healthy which I like. Thanks for the info. My dad loves steamboat a lot, will take him there one day.
looks yummy!…is dat plc al fresco dining or otherwise?
Michelle… we wanted to try the shabu shabu at Kuchai many times but didn’t. Now that u mention it’s good, we will try it next week!
Rosebelle…USD30 per pax? Wow, it’s exorbitant!
Chew Lee… many ppl like hot pot. I think it’s a healthier alternative to deep fried, BBQ and stir fried dishes.
InspiredMom… I’ll bet your dad will like this steamboat as it’s not the run of the mill steamboat.
Jean… it’s air-conditioned in a clean and new restaurant. And that’s one of the reasons I like this place 🙂 Steamboat Al fresco would make me drench in my own sweat after the meal haha!
hmmm…look yummy le!! *drooling*
