27 August 2011: Town Steamboat Restaurant (火锅之家) in Macalister Road, Penang serves buffet steamboat, barbeque and wide variety of readily cooked food. Considering the range of food selection available, the price is very reasonable. Here's the price list:

• Height <100cm : Free of charge
• Height 100cm - 120cm : RM4.90
• Height 120cm - 140cm : RM8.90
• Height >140cm : RM22.90
• Senior Citizen >55 years old : RM14.90
  

Despite the huge compound of the restaurant, it is always fully occupied. You are advised to make reservation in advance to avoid disappointed or getting a poorly located table which is too far away from the food. Since you have to barbeque your own food, the place tend to get oily, stuffy and smelly. Be ready to bath thoroughly from head to toe after the meal. Besides, there are also barbeque pork and satay cooked on the spot. You have to queue up to get them. The barbeque pork taste good but a bit too fat. The satay tastes not bad as well.
