Tried the tomato soup and chicken soup(recommended). Tomato soup was a little sweet for my liking but the chicken soup is good! Will come back to try the prawn soup!

I think they're using Burpple as an advertising platform, because the restaurant seems to have an all day buffet at 30++(?), which would still be a lot cheaper for a family of 4 compared to using burpple 1-1 same item, depends on whether you prefer to select the premium meats or go for quantity! In my view, there's greater cost savings visiting without the use of burpple than using burpple for ala carte. Overall, staff are doing their best but still quite absent minded (forgot our extra bowls, mixed up other people's orders, another table's buffet spread didn't have sotong available but the restaurant didn't inform them). Overall the food was pleasant, but the deal on Burpple is a worthless one, their buffet offers better cost savings.

Came for their steamboat buffet and was ecstatic when I saw the tray of meat come for me 😍 layered on a specially designed tray, it is then placed over the steamboat pot, forming that beautiful sight in my photo. ⁣⁣what started off as a really convenient way of eating soon turned out to be a mess because as you start ordering more ingredients, they came on plates and the table simply didn’t allow for more space (or because we were gluttons and ordered too much) soup wise, I felt that the tomato broth wasn’t as thick and fragrant as compared to other steamboat ppaces. Worth a second visit since it was pretty value for money! Senior citizens get discounted price too, so bring your folks along! ⁣⁣⁣⁣

What’s your favourite soup broth? My bias goes to Hai Xian Lao’s Prawn Soup 😋
