Kapten Steamboat & Grill and Sangkaya at SS15

Hi folks. 

Anyone fancy a steamboat & grill? It is one of the famous food here in malaysia. Be it either at restaurant or food truck, it has been here in malaysia for quite awhile. Famous joints like Seoul Garden, Johnny's or Flaming often flocked with hungry folks. Best thing about steamboat & grill is the buffet where you can eat until you're really full. Although I like food but i never fancy a buffet since i'm not a big eater. True story. I know some of my friends fancy them buffet. 

In SS15, on a least famous street, there situated a restaurant called Kapten Steamboat & Grill. I found this place while i was on hunt for new Sangkaya branch which happens to be under the same roof as Kapten. So being curious, I decided to eat at Kapten since there are quite a number of customers visiting the place. There are sets, ala carte and buffet to choose from here. I'm not exactly sure if buffet is open all week but Sunday definitely the buffet day which cost RM 28 per person. Quite a fair price. 

The menu

There are quite a decent number of choices here with some of the exotic ones like scallops, baby octopus (the one used in takoyaki), and bamboo clams plus the familiar choices on the buffet. 

Clams, squid, bamboo lala, baby octopus

Scallops, cockles, plain squid, crabs

Veggies

The regular faces of fish balls, cakes etc

Black pepper squid & chicken, curry chicken, bbq chicken

The meat & lamb section

As for the steamboat, you can choose either soup or tom yam. I tried the latter & it was ok la. Plenty choices of sauce as well including sambal belacan. 



After we've taken them all, we steamboat & grill them all! For RM 28 per person, I think it's quite cheap than normal places. The taste of each was a mix of hit & miss. I personally enjoyed the baby octopus, bamboo lala & scallop. 


Under the same roof, the infamous Sangkaya just opened new branch outside KL. First time i eat the ice cream was last year during food hunter festival. Twice in the same day i had them after braving the long queue. Their signature is their coconut ice cream in coconut shell. According to them, the ice cream are milk free and only used coconut juice & coconut milk to make. It was very good & creamy. They used imported Thai coconut for the ice cream. On sunday, free coconut juice for every purchase of ice cream. 


The menu

For the signature, 4 scoops of coconut ice cream on top of coconut flesh then you can pick your toppings of roasted shredded coconut, chunky peanut, nestum, cornflakes, corn & red beans. Sauce available is hershey's choc sauce. My favorite toppings are roasted shredded coconut & chunky peanut. 

The signature (RM 9.90)

Don't worry about rushing to the ice cream as they're open from 12pm to 12am. So no worries. Plus there are plenty of other cafes nearby.
