Need a reason to feast with your friends and family? Or crave for something warm in this very unpredictable weather? Why not enjoy a hot, steaming pot of steamboat? Better yet, an all-you-can-eat steamboat buffet! Steamboat is a great hit among food-lovers and best enjoyed with a group of people—friends, family or even colleagues.
