Talk of Steamboat Buffet, I believe the best experience could be from the Taiwan. So far, none can beat down the Taiwanese Steamboat.  Somehow,  I believe 883 Steamboat are trying its best to give the best choice for people in Miri.  If not mistaken it was launched early this year, but I could finally grab a chance to try out few weeks ago. It’s never too late, because their business is always that overloaded. If you did not make a reservation, it’s hardly get table.

883  is located at Permyjaya, if you know where is the McDonald drive through, then you will see this bright-eyescatching- signboard along the road side. It is same row as McD.  We were there around 7pm but there’s alot of people earlier than me.

The buffet ingredients are all well prepared in the fridge. Grab up your own plates and start picking the ingredients that you like.

The seafood corner. This corner is super fast finish, you need to “watch” it from time to time.

I realize that the frequence they replenish the food are quite slow especially come to “Mussels” or “sotong”.

The “balls” corner, these are all the frozen meat balls, nuggets, dumplings… etc etc.. Please please please do not take the green dumplings.  It makes my soup turn into GREEN color.

The “MEAT” are really generous. It’s marinated into different sauces. You can have chicken, beef and lamb.

Now the “Vege” corner. Quite disappointing also, the vege , the mushrooms are very slow to restock too!

There comes the “dessert” corner, mix your own ice kacang.

It’s not an easy task to mix out a superb Ice Kacang..

Or you want some ice – cream? Free flow of nestle ice-cream .

How about the chocolate fondue?
Talk of this fondue, actually I’m a bit worry to consume. As what you can see, the big bowl of chocolate were left there unattend. Meaning, that flies or insects anytime can drop in. Second worry, the big bowl of chocolate would not finish in a night, are they going to recycle?  Hmm, that’s only my own worries…

So let’s begin with the Steamboat.

We were given 2 pot, 2 tables to fit in 8 person. I think 4 person per table is the most appropriate figure because you gonna use up a lot of space to put places, sauces and drinks.

You can boiled in the soup, either Chicken or Tomyam. Free flow of Soup.

Or most of us would prefer BBQ style, but try prevent the big wind which you could hardly control the stove.  The cockles, meat, mussels are prawns are best to eat after you grill it.

The total eating environment was in a mess, but that shows we really enjoy our time having fun in eating.

I believe it could be more enjoyable if we go during the weekdays.

883 BBQ Steamboat – Contact No: 014 688 8091.
Rate : RM25 per head.

Honestly, this BBQ steamboat concept has landed Miri ages ago.  Back then it was only available at Airy Cafe and Michael Steamboat. Somehow the wave of the steamboat has gone. Airy cafe has now turn into air-conditioned eating place, while Michael Steamboat is still surviving but nothing big improvement has been done although they only charge RM18 per head.

So, do remember to make a booking with them before you plan to go!
