Bbq / Steamboat Buffets

You are most likely to enjoy going to bbq / steamboat buffets.
The price range is rather decent, from $20 to $30. (Except for Korean ones which are more pricey)

Here are some of the bbq / steamboat buffets I have tried before.
Quite limited as I disliked the smoke flying at me, getting myself smelling
like what I cooked and getting oily/sweaty all over.

Located along Bugis, I find that this outlet has quite a limited spread. The only thing that  won other outlets was more choices of ice-cream available.

Located along Bugis, it was way lousy beyond my imagination. The food were seriously limited and some were not fresh. A place I would not want to come back again. More whines can be found here.

The quality of food was quite good and I would not mind coming back to Bugis. As usual, I started off with the cooked dishes such as the 'pop-corn-chicken', fried dumplings, etc, while waiting for the two soup to boil (chicken and the 'ma la' spicy soup). The spiciness was startling and it sets my appetite going. They have bamboo clams, large crabs, etc. As I did not like peeling shells, I did not really take the crabs and prawns.

Located along Bugis, this outlet has one of the largest number of seatings available. Its variety of food available was also quite great. The marinated meats were not too bad and I spammed mainly on its satay, wings, beefs, squids and hot dogs. I finished off with a single scoop of ice-cream as part of the buffet (only one scoop per person).

Located at Clarke Quay Central, this was the 1st bbq / steamboat buffet I ate using conveyor belt (similar to sushi outlets). Although the steamboat had 3 choices of soup, the essence was not there. Interesting concept, however the variety was limited and should be further improve. The cooked food such as the sweet and sour pork was not bad as compared to the rest.

A Thai style steamboat restaurant located at Takashimaya. The dipping sauce was really excellent and it went well with everything that came out of the 'pot'. Although the variety was not a lot, it was counter-balanced by the freshness of the ingredients. The link to my post can be found here.

Big Bang Korean Buffet Restaurant

If you like oil/butter-free Bbq and Korean Band music playing on and on, you will enjoy the process. Although not much variety and space a little cramp at the food section, the ambiance was not too bad. The link to my post can be found here.
