Hot Pot or steamboat is a dining style whereby raw ingredients are cooked in a boiling pot of soup. Having a meal at a hot pot restaurant is often considered a treat, and the practice of cooking your own food is comforting and fulfilling for many people.
Additionally, some steamboat places also offer barbeque and grilling options on top of boiling soup. These are some of the best hot pot restaurants in the Klang Valley.
