Steambot

Putra Palace Hotel

Yesterday me and my friend went to the most high class hotel in Perlis, Putra Palace to have steambot buffet dinner. We looking forward to the steambot buffet for a very long time ago but during that time we do not have chance to dine in at the hotel. We are looking forward for this dinner on the good comment by my other friends had tried the buffet dinner before.

On that very day me and my friends purposely consume as little food as possible so that we can sapu the food kaw kaw during dinner time. As time came nearer we went to the hotel by car and then step in the hotel restaurant to have a taste on the buffet steambot.

After we told the waitress that we came for the steambot buffet the waitress did not ask what flavour we want for the soup and straightaway went into the kitchen and bring back a bowl cheap chicken essence soup. The soup is damm cheap and had no quality at all and is made from a few pieces of Knowl chicken essence cube. It taste bad and salty. We went on to hunt for the ingredient to put in our steambot. We are amaze on how little selection it got. The ingredient they provide were chicken breast meat (it taste weird), sea cucumber (very dirty because the do not clean the sea cucumber throughly), various kind of fish balls (the only ingredient that were edible), squid and calamari (the best ingredient available and were edible) and patin fish (also taste weird).


One ingredient that were very questionable is the prawn you see on the above picture. What on the earth is the blackish thing in the prawn head??? We ask the waitress for clarification and they say the blackish thing in the prawn head is natural and it came with the prawn and they also further their clarification by telling us the prawn is still fresh and just came in today. It is really a fear factor if one tried to consume the prawn and in the end no one among my friends dared to eat. The strange thing is when I start taking picture of these prawns with my mobile phone the waitress act strangely and the cook from the kitchen came out to look at these prawns, I very doubtful on the freshness of the ingredient there.

In the end we just consume various fish balls, squids and calamari. The most amazing thing is the most tasty food there is their fried rice, i will give perfect 10 for the fried rice there and other than that the food there sucks big time. It cost us RM 22 per head to consume all those thrash food, I want to say here this is my first time eating there and also my last time eating there. I will not come back for another time and I will not also recommend anyone to go for the food there except fear factor game show!!
