COCO STEAMBOAT

Coco Steamboat @ Old Klang Road

Recently a reader emailed and asked us to write more about non fancy restaurants/cheap eats around KL. WELL

Please allow us to introduce Coco Steamboat – our latest steamboat addiction. We have been going back for 3-4 times since March this year. Coco Steamboat is originated from its main HQ in Cheras (I believe) and their branch in Old Klang Road is located right next to a service centre. It is a spacious open air area with covered zinc roof top. Reservation is not allowed for slots after 630 pm and table securing is by first come first serve basis. Just pass your name to the main counter and patiently wait for your turn. Usually it takes about 10-20 minutes.

  milky pork bone soup (RM17.50) with giant pork knuckles is the piece de resistance here. There are also white cabbages, sliced turnips, deep fried shredded yam, deep fried bean curd and plenty of black pepper inside the soup base. It has a slightly complex flavour – porky (pork bone ma), sweet (white cabbages and turnips) with a nice little punch of heat (black peppers). So delicious!

We spotted these chicken wings in almost every tables. Curiosity got the better of us and so we ordered another three of these nam yu (fermented bean curd) fried chicken. It was nothing to shout about – too salty and over fried. Guess it makes great snacks to kill time while waiting for food

We love the chilli dipping sauce at Coco Steamboat. It was spicy and tangy, great to dunk in some steamboat ingredients to enjoy the “kick”. They also provide patrons with bowls of fried garlics.

Steamboat Set for one pax – RM 15.90. We always share a set amongst the two of us, with another 3-4 ala-carte orders.
