Lin Yuan Steamboat Kitchen @ Jalan Shelley

With the ridiculous weather that storms and rains just when you thought you cant live another day without a traffic jam and another day past 5.30pm, the best comfort food one can find is something hot and steamy, something to warm that stomach and to allow you to forget all sorrows.

I reckon steamboat is about the best choice.


With steamboat restaurants mushrooming all over the place, creativity plays a big part in luring a part of the crowd into their restaurant, Lin Yuan does it well with their "third" soup base, something that you can rarely find: Golden pumpkin porridge soup base.

Essentially mashed pumpkin starch-like soup, it has a natural sweetness into it, and gives an attractive colour to the ingredients you put into it. Throw in an egg with strands of yellow noodles forming as it boils, suddenly the plain soup looks, well rather plain.


With their 1 person set at RM12.90, and alot more attractive ala-carte items, it can be a hearty meal that will suit any budget.

Or if you choose to splurge, you can do so too!

At the end of an usual steamboat affair, dump in the noodles to absorb whatever goodies you thrown in the pot, and rub your tummy with satisfaction.

Verdict: 3.5 stars out of 5 stars; considering it is now raining as i type this, anything hot and steamy is always good for the inner soul eh?
