Food Rating 2/10
The pork meat is over roasted, very soft and don't have bite sense at all,
is like drinking the pork meat~ No no no
 Chili & Spicy Personal Steamboat TWD 450 come with a drink
Food Rating 2/10
The soup had no spicy taste at all and the frozen food use for the steamboat 
is very awful, in this price range we actually looking forward for some average or above average
frozen food right?

This is the better food we have, just like normal fried chicken~
Food Rating 5/10
This is the milk steamboat TWD 450 come with a drink
the soup is nice, but the foods is not
