What is so special about the steamboat/hot pot offering from Secret Garden. For us, there are 3 things that make a perfect steamboat. The first is the broth, second will be the ingredients and the third is the sauce that goes with your cooked ingredients.


A little secret for you is that one of the core founders of Secret Garden is also the founder of Yezi; which offers premium steamboat to its' patron; needless to say, the offering at Secret Garden is comparable in quality.



We started our steamboat review with a Salmon Yee Sang


As above, there is 2 soup base on offer at Secret Garden. We opted for the Imperial Chicken Broth (RM78.00) which is boiled overnight using chicken, dried ham and dried scallop to ensure the full flavours extraction from all the ingredient that was used. The use of village chicken makes this broth extremely tasty. We took the first spoonful and all of us agreed on the rich broth was so good, we can have this with some white rice.

The collagen-rich broth was ideal that every time we put some ingredient into the pot, we will taste out the soup, and it never fails us to want more of it.

The way to truly appreciate this Taiwanese Hot Pot is to ensure that ingredients are simmered in according to a sequence in which the staff at Secret Garden will be on hand to assist you to get the best of the steamboat/ hot pot meal.

Handmade Fish Paste

The second criteria of a good steamboat are the ingredient, here at Secret Garden, all the seafood balls and paste are hand made, which means quality and original flavours are as expected.

The Malaysian 2017 Chinese New Year menu is fairly predictable, but every once in a blue moon, someone will spring a surprise. And as surprises go to; the Chef at Noble House Restaurant which has crafted out some Specialties Chinese New Year Dishes and Chinese New Year Set Menu dishes especially for you to feast on.

To start off our review, we had the Tuna and Crispy Fish Skin Yee Sang in comparison with most others that offer Salmon Yee Sang. The Crispy fish skin adds an extra level of texture to the Yee Sang.


Among some of the surprise dishes that we have tasted are from the Noble House 2017 Chinese New Year Specialties Dishes Menu; the first of which is Pan Fried Hokkaido Scallop With Black Truffle (RM33.00 per pax). We love the strong fragrant of the truffle oil that was used which went well with the firm succulent texture of the Hokkaido Scallop which was presented like a Western dish.
