I think it's hard not to remember the name since it is link to a famous drink. He asked for steamboat and then ordered the dishes for it. He ordered so many varieties that there were not enough room on the table to contain them. We had to use the next tabIe as well. I wondered how we were going to finish them but every dish that went into the pot we just savoured them till there were no more dishes left. I was most intrigued by the fish glue then. Could not imagine eating gluey stuff which I always have a phobia including puddings. However though gluey the good thing was the taste was superb thus allaying my fears. We were not full but fulfilled by the sumptious meal. I want to try the yellow curry venison as so far I have heard of green curry and red curry but not yellow curry. So would be timely to venture there again... Coca restaurant - a gem of a restaurant

Although its a common dish these days, but nothing beats their authentic spices as well as tender beef meat. If only I can savour that dish again.... Oh! heavenly...

I went to Coca in One U last 2 weeks, I can seriously tell you the food sucks and dam expensive. The crab and mussel were not fresh. The shark fin taste one kind., tiger prawn was overcooked...Only the pandan chicken and the scallop taste ok but not that great. Really not worth RM78++ per pax for this kind of food. If only the One U outlet taste so bad, perhaps you want to give me a pair of voucher to let me try on other outlet to change my perception on Coca. <em>PhoneLover's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PhoneLover/~3/323365838/nokia-n78-review.html' rel="nofollow">Nokia N78 Review</a></em> im not here to win any of the “free meal”.

WE've been avid Coca Restauranteers.. from the one in Subang Parade, the one in KL Plaza, and even the one in Genting First World. No matter where we were, he would always bring us there.. as it reminded him of being 'close to home' We celebrated many birthday dinners there.. eating the fishball paste, and most of all the tomyum which we feel is the BEST! Many years have passed and whenever I pass by any Coca Restaurant, I feel too emotional to enter. as one of the last places he brought us before his death was there. ( yup that was how often we used to go) It's been about 4 years since he passed on. and we've not gone back since. I've noticed that the menu seems to have changed but I can never be too sure as he always did the ordering!! Perhaps this time, we'll go, and have a celebration in memory of him always bringing us there. and perhaps.. try all the new dishes... and sample some of the favourites and always... always.. have the steamboat.. he loved. ^_^ My late father used to bring us to Coca Restaurant when we were younger because he felt that it was a great place to eat.

I do not have an interesting story, nor some fancy reasons why I should win the contest. But if given such opportunity I would really hope to be given such chance to visit COCA, simply because being a guy who cant normally afford such kind of meal, except during Chinese New Year or when attending other people's wedding. I wish to say that the price for the COCA buffet is no doubt very worthy for what it can offer, however for a guy in my class, it's a luxury that I can hardly afford to have. And so does my girlfriend, because both of us need to work very very hard to get what we want. I would really, really hope to bring her to a nice dinner, but before that there are simply too many things that come in a higher priority (eg. settle the loans). If my gf is reading this, I would also like to apologize to her because right now I cant really provide her much enjoyment in life so far, but I'm really glad that she has never complained about it. Not even when she has to ride on my lousy motorbike under the hot sun. Now she's got a little asthma after having exposed to the smoke on road too much, so I'm really saving hard to get a car as soon as possible. Instead of saying the disk I want to try the most, I'd rather put it as the dish that I wish to treat my gf the most, which I guess would be Coca Stuffed Prawns. Simply because she has never tried a prawn this big, and she really loves to eat prawns alot although we can only hardly order some prawns at the restaurant. And the prawns have never been this big! It's really such an eye-opener for us... Thanks alot... Name: Darren Hwang email: d.hwang@ymail.com Hi there… I do not have an interesting story, nor some fancy reasons why I should win the contest.

Working closely with Middle East and North African region, made me drift away from Malaysia neighbor taste of food. The satisfaction of the food does not come within the food itself but to get the sensation of eating consist on the place, “the feel” and most importantly, the food itself. That why I really want to have a chance of winning this contest. Some more, my fiancé and I has not seen each other for the past 2 month and our last time being together also end with a disaster. I’m working in Putrajaya while she is working in Kuching and we only engaged for 2 month. When I want to take my flight back to LCCT from Kuching, my flight has been delayed for an hour which is good news for me since I can have more time with my fiancé. But then, without noticing my flight has been moved to earlier flight I decided to take her to MarryBrown to have a dinner since god know when I’ll be returning back to Kuching. On the way to departure hall, I notice my boarding pass noted that I’m not in my original flight and have been moved to earlier flight which will depart in 15 minutes!! Therefore, without having our last dinner together and also a simple goodbye I have to rush to the boarding gate. So, please pick me as a winner since she will be coming here to visit me next month. I want to finish the thing that I did not have the chance to finish it when I was in Kuching. Perhaps by bringing she to Coca Restaurant will make us forget the bad experience that we have encountered last time. My last unforgettable dinner with her was when I bring her to Hotel Shangri-La KL which I has been invited to National Day of Qatar whereby we has been feasted with Middle East food and also some local’s food. Currently, I’m still looking a perfect place to bring her to make it a night that both of us will remember. Therefore, with this contest, I hope that we can experience “the feel” at Coca Restaurant. The dish that I really want to try is anything that related to fish not because I loved it but because I know my fiancé like to eat fish. Based on vkeong.com review, my fiancé and I surely must try chicken and tomyam based soup with fish glue. Cod Fish Steamed in Thai Style also looks promising due to the flavor of sour and spicy but the freshness of the fish will played a great deal to bring up the chewy and bouncy texture. Shark fin soups is a new thing for me and really want to have some of it since most of the soup that I always get is sweet corn soup. Another dish that caught my eyes is the raw oysters, really wondering is the taste is as the common thing that I usually get when having a function at any hotel? But I think the freshness is a great factor for its taste. As for dessert I really want to get my mouth on Thai Cendol because having a Thai food is really a new thing for me. Anyway, finding a great place to eat with my loves one is really a hard job for me since I only moved to Putrajaya around a year now but still unfamiliar with the places especially in KL. Therefore, once again, with the chance that has been provide by vkeong.com, I really hope that with this Coca Steamboat Buffet Contest hosted by vkeong.com, I can have a nice unforgettable dinner with my fiancé. Although I might not win the contest but I would like to thank you to vkeong.com and also Coca’s Marketing Manager, Andrea for providing the contest. This contest is not just because for the free food for some of us but mean more than that since we also can pleased our loves one.

I won't judge the food by just its looks until i try it out myself. All i know is when i go to a place, tries the food out, happy with the food, rest assured, i will be spreading news about the place/restaurant as fast as a hot rumour about a celebrity goes about.

I just love Thai cooking & steamboat for that matter. I think they compliment each other very well in this case, especially when accompanied with some Thai coconut juice. Just glancing through COCA's menu list of interesting items, just wets my appetite further. I wish to try as many dishes as possible, if not all. On top of my list will be the lovely 'Thai Green Curry Beef'! So, if i do get the opportunity to try out COCA, I'm sure it would be just be Heavenly. Then, when I'm back on Earth, i will tell all my friends about the experience. They will surely be green with curry, i mean envy! Thanks in advance.
