Starry Sky Hotpot Buffet 星空自助火锅

Forget standard, sterile hotpots. Starry Sky Hotpot Buffet isn't about Instagram-worthy aesthetics—reviewers note the dining environment is strictly adequate. The real draw here is the interactive, unapologetic freshness. Located at Jalan Austin Heights 8/3 in Mount Austin, this buffet lets you physically catch your own live jumping prawns straight from the tanks. It’s a hands-on, slightly chaotic, and incredibly fun steamboat experience that prioritizes food quality over fancy decor.

The seafood is the undisputed star, with live prawns and fresh lala dominating the spread. But the kitchen throws a massive curveball: a dedicated food frying service. Pick your raw steamboat ingredients and hand them off to the staff to fry up on the spot. Combine that with their lineup of BBQ skewers, and you get a hybrid steamboat-grill feast. Diners consistently praise the super fresh pork cuts and a soup base that remains rich without feeling overly heavy.

Operating daily from 3:00 PM to 12:00 AM, it's a prime late-night dinner strike for Singaporeans crossing the border. Expect to pay roughly RM61.50 to RM65.50 per pax (around RM131 for two)—an absolute steal for unlimited live seafood and meat. Service is highly rated and homey, though wait times for the custom frying service can naturally spike during peak hours. Come for the jumping prawns, stay for the unbeatable value.
