We, as humans, usually associate things with certain memories. Whether it be a scent of an ex girlfriend of boyfriend, the way your house smells when your mom cooks a certain dish, or even the way your bed feels after a long and tiring day. Last Sunday, I encountered such an event. The night I was leaving for KL, our most awesome boss took us to steam boat place somewhere in Petaling Jaya I think. (Steam boat is their term for Hot Pot) Ever since I got my first taste, I couldn’t stop craving. I was even going to settle for those uber expensive hot pot places in Manila just to satisfy my craving. That was until I tasted King One.
Tucked away somewhere near MOA, which btw is becoming a sort of hotbed for foodie spots in the metro, nestled nicely in between 2 story buildings was King One Hot Pot. It offered an eat-all-you-can and drink-all-you-can menu for a really cheap price! (ka shiok tlga at only go pa per head lang! and lak tsap for the drink!)

But what was really cool about the place was that there is this huge conveyor belt which rotates around the center of the restaurant. If you sit right next to it you can grab the ingredients as they pass by. You can also directly order the meats you want. I definitely had lamb, and beef and fish. I then had shrimp.

After the ingredients arrive, you then have a choice of soup. From plain soup, satay, hong kong curry, and the spicy szechuan soup. I chose szechuan since I was ready for whatever spicyness King One had to offer after tasting Malaysia’s version.

All I can say is that, it was one the most epic lunches I’ve had in a long time. I love the spicyness. Although it lacked the fire a bit, maybe it was just right for some, I just kept piling on the meats, veggies, etc and I just kept eating. I was sweating no doubt, but hey that’s what they say if you are really enjoying a good meal.
If you decide to check out King One, you definitely have to try the mozerella balls. These are really one of their specialties!

After a hearty meal which lasted for 2 hours I think, this was our table.

Everyone was in high spirits and were just a wee bit sleepy and heavier after the meal! A great meal + great companions = EPIC DAY!

I love hot pot or steamboat as what they called it here in Malaysia, especially when given variety of seafood and meat and different kind of choices for the soup.
I want that mozarella balls, it looks yummy!;)
By the way, I think the steamboat place you had in Malaysia is in the Petaling Jaya area not Petalang Jaya. Heehe
I am sold. Lets do it ASAP.
