| Umami Steamboat Buffet Restaurant |
I wondered why the restaurant was named Umami, later then I know that the word "Umami" is popularly referred to as savoriness, which is one of the basic tastes together with sweet, sour, bitter and salty. It is also a loanword from the Japanese Umami with the meaning of pleasant savoury taste. Hence, I guess that explained the name of the restaurant.
 |
| The crowds |
Don't be surprised with the huge crowd upon entering the restaurant. You can see everyone is enjoying their steamboat session be it with the family or friends. I personally feels comfortable with the air conditioned in the restaurant. Walking over the food counters, I was kind of in doubt that I could try all of the foods!
 |
| Selection of foods*1 |
There were an array of cooked foods where you can actually get the fried rice, stir-fried vegetables, sweet and sour chicken, and so on. We had the fried rice and surprisingly the fried rice is better than I expected.

| Selection of foods*4 |
Various types of green vegetables up to your liking, tofus, dumplings and what to not miss - long springy fish noodles! They were all fresh and that's what we wants I believe.

| Mushrooms |
Everyone know that the soup will be taste sweeter by just dumping all the mushrooms into it. And that's also the reason I love to have them especially during the steamboat session. What is there to enjoy if there's no fresh seafood?
