=========================================

I have heard of the notorious long queues at Hai Di Lao and decided to try it out during off peak timings, i.e. 11am on a weekend at their Clarke Quay outlet.

They serve a la carte steamboat, where the concept is like JPot where you can order your choose your desired soup base and preferred ingredients. You can also customize your own sauces at a charge of $3 per person and this will give you free flow of fruits and desserts (soya beancurd). For drinks, you can either opt for water or top up $3 per person for free flow of herbal tea, barley etc.

The overall experience makes one feel pampered as you have a dedicated server to help you out, such as providing you wipes for your spectacle and phone, topping up your soup base and water etc. If you order handmade noodles, there is a performance where the serve will prepare the noodles in front of you. 

In addition to that, manicures are provided for those waiting in queues and cosy corner while yone wait for their number to be called. For parents with children, there's a playground and shows available to keep your children entertained. We even spotted a baby cot amidst the dining area.

=============================================

This is one of the participating restaurants under the Entertainer App, which consists of 1 for 1 vouchers for 2 buffet lunches and buffet dinner for its Sentosa branch and newly opened branch at Kallang Leisurepark.

How the voucher works?

Each voucher is a 1 for 1 deal.  This means that you jut need to pay the price for 1 for every 2 diners. 

You can use up to 4 vouchers if available. 

Coca Steamboat has always been my favorite steamboat place since it was located at Concourse.

Unlike the newer steamboat places whee you get to choose your soup base, they serve a standard dual soup case, chicken and tom yum. At $26 and $42 for lunch and dinner (prior to Entertainer vouchers), it's very worth it.
