Website: http://www.chinhuatliveseafood.com/
Date of visit: 08/02/2009
Time of visit: 18:30
No. of pax: 4

Looking for wide variety of food for steamboat?
Here's the place.
Bored after all the steamboat?
You can choose to 'teppanyaki' selected fish and meat, satay and also sushi!
Sweet tooth?
They have quite a no. of dessert you can choose from apart from the POTONG ice cream which we used to get when we visit steamboat outlet @ Marina Bay.


*The serving of the crab and prawns depend on the no. of pax, no second round for this.
ONLY the prawns were alive.*


*You actually choose the amount of stingray and sotong
that you want them to cook for you from the raw section.*


*Can you see the glow on the fondue*

Cost per person after adding Service Charge & GST
Appox. SGD$25.00

Personally, I prefer the clear soup as the ma la soup is not spicy at all.
Try the chilli on the stingray, it is super nice or should I say fragrant?
As the prawns are still 'struggling' when served to you, it is super fresh.
(I didn't eat the prawn but my gfs did, and also from the color after cooking.)
I super heart the cappucino eclair, which I really miss now!!

If you are considering a gathering of more than 6 people, I don't think it is approiate as you can't really talk, being noisy and the table setting.

Verdict
Atmosphere: 3/5
Worth the $$: 4/5
Service Staff: 3/5
Food Presentation: 3/5
Food Quality: 3.5/5
