Guo Ma Taiwanese Steamboat (锅妈台式火鍋) is a familiar name among the locals and many come in groups and go for their steamboat buffet. Hence, it is EXTREMELY HARD to get seats. To date, we only got lucky once among all the times we passed by the restaurant. Suggest that you make a reservation first prior to visiting to avoid disappointment.
Guoma 锅妈台式火鍋 is an economic steamboat buffet.
This Taiwan style steamboat is very famous among Malaysian! Located at Mount austin height, you need to make an reservation way early before making your trip down if not you need to wait until 1030pm to get a table.
The recommended Fish Pot is a hotpot that features chunks of fried fish fillets with a mix of fresh vegetables. Among the vegetables, I recognise Albert’s creation of Tau Kee made with fish paste on crispy beancurd skins which can be savoured either freshly fried or in the soup. The vegetables included slices of fried beancurd, tomatoes, yam, black fungus and leaves of Chinese cabbage on a bed of more cabbage pieces. I like this presentation where diners can see the items arranged in the hotpot before a serving staff comes to fill the pot with steaming hot fish soup and let it come to a boil.
When he serves his Pineapple Fried Rice, it is just as he used to prepare it – a fragrant dish of fried rice full of flavour and topped with whole toasted cashew nuts and a sprinkle of chicken floss.
