Last Sunday, our friends asked us to join them on a road trip to try the 3-tier steamboat. This restaurant is situated about 9km from Bentong town. I was a bit skeptical at first because I thought this place is off the beaten track. It was a pleasant surprise when we reached Tanah Aina Azareena. The place is just beautiful and is filled with all kinds of plants and trees. There is even a clean, cool crystal clear stream next to the restaurant and lotus pond. This place used to be an orchard and I spotted some durian trees there. Below are some of the pics I took.

3-tier steamboat
First tier was seafood
2nd tier was steamed fish in special curry sauce. The last tier was the delicious soup.
We also ordered other dishes like stir fried vege, kangkung belachan and this fried chicken with banana chilli sauce. Yummy!

Everyone had a swell time, especially the kids. After lunch, we drove to Raub which is about 25 minutes away for some traditional coffee and awesome kaya & curry puffs. We took the winding road on the mountain and with hubs driving like an F1 driver zig-zagging all the way made me want to throw up *shake head*.
We will definitely go back to Tanah Aina for some relaxation and good food. Check them out if you want an environment filled with nature. They also have a resort not too far from the restaurant. You can try googling “Tanah Aina Resort”.

I’ve never seen or heard of a 3-tier steamboat. Now I know 🙂 Bentong is just a short drive away… plenty of nice food there to explore if you are thinking of going back again.
First time I heard about 3 tier steamboat. The food looks good, and the place is good for exploring around.
Wow, this looks good! If driving to Bentong sounds daunting, we can make the same thing at home but minus the natural environment of course 🙁
