Coco Steamboat Cheras

This place is one of the treasure in Cheras. Famously known of their signature Pork Bone Soup that served alongside various types of sides. I know what you guys are thinking but please let me enlighten you first. Judging by the name of this place, it may look ordinary just like any other typical steamboat restaurants but the stuff that will serve on the table would be something exquisite
Just like I said earlier, the soup is one of the thing that makes this place is like no others. Plus, the soup is the most important parts in any steamboat servings. It was rich but not to thick so that you could boil and cook the sides and any other servings. The second thing would be the place itself. The environment and services are both excellent. You might wanna call for reservations first if you ever thinking to get yourself here.

Coco is famous with its pork knuckle soup base. Even though it has opened for years at multiple branches, people never stop loving it especially the pork knuckle soup base. Especially for friends’ gathering, I often go to Coco steamboat (Cheras /​Tayton branch).
What I love about this restaurant is availability of parking space, option of indoor /​outdoor dining area (indoor area comes with air-​conditioning) and definitely, as mentioned above, its pork knuckle soup base (although it is a bit salty).
However, frankly speaking, it is not my favourite for steamboat. Let me tell you why,
1) Bad quality of service, the waiters /​waitresses are easily hot tempered and trust me, I’m not the only who complain. If you search online, you can see many people sharing my concern.
2) Refilling soup is charged. Unlike many other restaurants, refilling soup (for pork knuckle soup, not sure about other soup base) is charged and be noted that RM20 is applied already when you choose pork knuckle. If I’m not mistaken, RM 5 is applied for each refill. That’s a big leap if you are coming in couple or less than 3 peeps.
3) Food is so-​so. The provided ingredients are common. Each set comes with few pieces of meat, fish balls, one dumpling, some yam sticks and definitely MUCH fried bean curd skin and vegetable (I think you know why). Many opt for ala carte order for meat but it is not cheap. Getting a set of meat costs RM20 ++. If shabu-​ing meat is what you wanna do, why not go to buffet style steamboat restaurant that charges you RM35-​RM45 per pax. You get all you want.
