Like the previous batch, the latest three diners to fall ill ate at the restaurant either on Thursday or Friday.
They developed symptoms of food poisoning - vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain - over the long weekend.
Two of the 17 had to be hospitalised but they have been discharged.
A spokesman for the restaurant said that it had assured the two that it would pay their medical charges if it was found to be responsible for the poisoning.
Thirteen food handlers from the steamboat restaurant are undergoing screening at the Communicable Disease Centre.
No update on their condition or the cause of the poisoning is available yet.
