A trip to Genting wouldn’t be complete without a steamboat meal, and Resort Seafood is one of the best places to have it with friends and family. The 272-seater restaurant is one of Genting’s more established eateries having been around since the ’80s – the restaurant’s look and feel hasn’t changed all that much over the past few decades – so you know you’re in good hands when it comes to Chinese food. The steamboat served here is more expansive than what you’d find at other steamboat restaurants too – for starters, there’s the soup stock, which includes a selection of tom yum, herbal chicken soup and the Resort fish head stock, the last of which is a clear and rich fish stock made after hours of boiling (and gets more flavourful as the steamboat meal goes on).
As for what goes into the hot pot, there are over 20 varieties of seafood items to choose from, including the standard selection of fish balls, crab meat, tiger prawns, dumplings and ‘fish noodles’ as well as more exotic selections like smoked duck, wagyu sirloin, geoduck and Boston lobster that come straight from the aquarium. And with over 20 different sauces – including light soy sauce, oyster sauce, minced garlic, chilli oil and many more house-made sauces – you can go a little crazy creating new sauce combinations to go along with the meal.
You’re not limited to steamboat cuisine either: selected seafood ingredients can be cooked to your preferred style, and there’s a range of rice and noodle dishes like the lobster ‘sang har-style’ noodles that’s popular on the weekends. And speaking of weekends, be sure to reserve a table before coming over.
