Lei Yue Mun Steam Hot Pot

Lei Yue Mun Steam Hot Pot is a somewhat specialized steam hot pot place that gives one the opportunity of using herbal soups as a base for an amazing night of hot pot.  We ordered the 7 people special and due to the size of our group, we were given 2 different tables.  By giving us 2 tables, we opted for a soup base which we went with a simple pork and tomato and potato soup as our base and a congee on the other end.

Condiments

One thing this restaurant specializes is that the staff actually prepares the hot pot dinner for you and before your eyes.  You will hear timers and bell chiming throughout the night as waiters and waitresses are running from table to table assisting customers with their food.  We had ordered the seafood steam pot menu which included oysters, shrimp, abalone, clams and one whole lobster. 

Vegetables

There were also plenty of vegetables including mushrooms, greens, zucchinis and corn.  The staff cooked the meals in all preset times and would remove them off the platter when they were ready to be eaten.  There were also 6 different types of spices and condiments in addition to the soya sauce that could be used to your food. 

Seafood

Tomato Soup

I have to admit that most of the seafood was pretty fresh.  The abalone was maybe the only disappointment of the night where it might have been slightly overcooked as the meat was a bit chewy on our end.  Otherwise, for about $40 per person, the rest of the night was pretty filling and satisfying. 

Lobster, Abalone, Oysters

Dessert

The really satisfying part of the evening was the end where the soup that had been used to steam the food was richly mixed together and really washed the rest of the food down.  It was very simple yet so good.  Although the price may have been slightly on the higher end, it was in the end somewhat reasonable given the types of food that we had.  One table beside us did order the herbal soup base where we could tell that it too was quite satisfying and enlightening to that table. In the end, it was a pretty satisfying night.  We also had a 10% discount card from one of our friends which made it more enjoyable.  Overall I give it a 4 out of 5.
