For rainy day group dinners in Old Klang Road, Coco Steamboat comes to mind. The restaurant is set in a super spacious warehouse, while an efficient queue system makes the guaranteed wait here bearable. When seated, it's essential you start off with an order of Coco Double Stewed Soup with Whole Bone (RM22.2). Packed with collagen and meaty goodness, this rich broth is what draws the crowds. Go for simpler sides to satisfy, such as the Set Menu (RM39.80 for two) that comes with the usual steamboat suspects like prawns, dumplings and meatballs. Apart from the basics, treat yourself to additional orders for sharing! The Crispy Fish Skin (RM16.90) is a luxurious pop of crunch while the Sliced Pork (RM13.70) will emerge from the broth curled up in thin, tender slices that are absolutely tantalising. While waiting on the bubbling broth to cook up a feast, order the scrumptious Crisp-Fried Pork Belly With Shrimp Paste (RM15) to tide you over. Wash dinner down with a sharing jug of cooling Sugarcane, Couch Grass Root & Carrot herbal drink (RM9.50).
Avg price per person: RM30
