First Visit to

While we are always seeking out interesting places when we travel overseas, sometimes we forget how beautiful our city looks too. Now that leisure travel is impossible, it's time to explore and discover the new places to visit or eat in our city. 

We had Crispy Snapper Sliders. This starter was delicious, best to enjoy it while it was fresh and crispy.

Steamboat King Singapore Food Review: Super Value Steamboat Delivery Bundle

When I think of steamboat, it will always bring back the fond CNY memories where we enjoyed the many rounds of steamboat feast at home. Behind the steamboat feast was tedious preparation where my parents need to visit different places (NTUC, wet market and etc) to acquire the ingredients, ensuring the fridge has sufficient storage space, washing and cutting of ingredients. It was a painful preparation, hence we only had it once a year.

But in today, food delivery business is blooming, all these hassles that we faced can be instantly resolved with just a click. E-commerce has make everything so easy and convenience for us.

I was introduced to Steamboat King Singapore (火锅霸王) who provides hassle-free steamboat experience with fully-prepared quality ingredients delivered fresh to our doorstep within an hour at affordable prices.

Check out the items in Steamboat King Bundle B:

Free portable hotpot stove set (14cm) and fuel

Fret not if your home don't have hotpot stove, Steamboat King Singapore provides free 14cm portable stove set with the purchase of any hotpot bundles. We get to keep the stove set without the needs to return.

We were provided with additional fuel that will be able to last for 1.5 hours. We will need to top up the fuel every half an hour. Just use a lighter to start up the fuel. But if your home already have your own hotpot stove, I would suggest you to use your own set because it will be bigger and you don't need to keep topping up fuel.

Soup base

Bundle B comes with 2 selection of soup base from the 5 selection available:

- Premium Collagen Soup (+$5)

- Sichuan Mala Soup

- Tomato Soup 

- Pork Tonkotsu Soup 

- Kimchi Soup

The 1.5 litres of soup broth were sealed in a packaging that make it easy to pour out.

We opt for Sichuan Mala Soup and Pork Tonkotsu Soup for our soup base.

The soup is the most important element in every steamboat meal. The broths were simmered on low fire for at least 8 hours, bringing out the ultimate flavours of the ingredients while retaining its natural nutrients.

Sichuan Mala Soup was well loved by my family and you could easily know why. 

This flavorful and numbingly spicy broth was simmered with selected Sichuan dried chillies, Sichuan peppercorns and other spices for 8-hours to bring out the traditional Sichuan hot pot flavour. 

The Sichuan Mala Soup was packed with more punch over the Pork Tonkotsu Soup. The broth was rich in taste and spice up my appetite, making the hotpot ingredients tasted delicious and us reaching out for more.

The Pork Tonkotsu Soup was simmered with pork bone broth which was packed with nutrition. We love drinking the soup as it was light on the palate, it paired well with fresh vegetables, tofu, and mushroom. The soup was rich in taste with fragrance from the pork bone, it was comforting to have and help to ease the spiciness from the mala soup.

Seafood and Meat

Steamboat King Singapore carries out quality checks on all of their ingredients to ensure freshness and consistency, as well as dealing with the ingredients hygienically. In the event you received ingredients that are not fresh, they provide free replacement.

Here's the seafood and meat we received for Bundle B:

- Chicken Breast Shabu (200g) 

- Brazil Pork Belly Shabu (200g) 

- Brazil Pork Collar Shabu (200g)

- Toman Fish Slice (200g)

The fixed selection included Chicken Sausage (200g), sausage is a must have in all our steamboat session. Being meat lovers, we were captivated by the different variety of meat.

We topped up Hokkaido Snow Pork Collar Shabu ($4.90) to add on to our steamboat. I'm glad we did because the thinly sliced meat turned out to be the best choice of meat, everyone at the table kept reaching for this pork collar shabu and it was the first plate of meat that we finished clearing. 

Other ingredients

The bundle set included Egg Tofu (100g) which was soft and tender.

For vegetables, we have:

- Chinese Long Cabbage (200g) 

- Shanghai Green (200g)

- Enoki Mushroom (100g)

We typically put the vegetables in the Pork Tonkotsu Soup, the flavours complemented well together and retaining the robust taste of the soup.

Another ingredient that was well loved by my family were Fried Beancurd Skin Roll (8 Pieces). Just dip slightly into the broth and it can be eaten right away. The fried beancurd skin roll was airy and light crunchiness.

Superior Fish Paste (150g) can be used to make into fish ball and fish cake.

The set also came with Japanese Steamed Rice (3 servings), Korean Noodles (1 serving) and dipping sauces which consist of Goma Shoyu (60ml), Steamboat Homemade Sambal Chilli (60ml) and Thai Chilli Sauce (60ml).

We love the sambal chilli sauce which hit our senses with the punch of spiciness when we dipped the meat into the sauce. The dipping sauces are made fresh before each delivery and kept in air tight jars to ensure no spillage and the best flavours.

Last but not least, we chosen Jasmine Green Tea (1.5 litres) and Orange Slices for our choice of drink and fruit. For the fruit selection, the choice is either orange or watermelon slices while the drink selection includes:

- Ayataka Green Tea

- Chrysanthemum Tea

- Ice Lemon Tea

- Winter Melon Tea

- Jasmine Green Tea

It was nice to have something different from our usual weekend Grab delivery for dinner and steamboat is something my family enjoy having, an ideal meal to have with family at home because everyone gather together and share the good food.

The noodles was best to consume with mala soup, so appetising.

The bundle set was really generous even for family for 5, perhaps next time I will explore their ala carte menu.

Food Review: Freshly Baked Cake Delivery Singapore

One thing I can never say no to is dessert, I always find myself looking at dessert menu instead of main course. Cake is the dessert that I have been having lately because it is one of the main highlights in birthday celebration. 

I was introduced to this e-commerce site where we can purchase handmade gourmet cake online, Cake Delivery Singapore.

The team behind Cake Delivery Singapore comprises of passionate and experienced bakers who use organic and premium ingredients to provide us with the best tasting cakes. They have their own kitchens and fleet of transport to ensure we receive our delivery on time.

They understand consumer's frustration of unable to find midnight delivery or looking out for last minutes cake, but these issues can be resolved with their after hour delivery and 1 hour express delivery.

Here's what we had: Build Your Own Cake (1.5kg/10 slices of 8 inch cake).

The delivery arrived at 3.45pm which was within the selected time slot.

$25 after hours delivery: Order now and receive within one hour (from 10pm to 6am).

When I first came cross the website, I was awe by the delicious options available and there were so many flavours that I wanted to try. If you share the same sentiment as me. Build Your Own Cake will be the best solution for you because you can choose different flavours for each of the slices.

Do note that the cake variants in the option might be differ as it is dependable on the availability of the flavour. The cake shape may be irregular as well due to the difference in size for each slice (8 inch or 9.5 inch).

Should your orders be late for more than 1 hour, full refund via store credits will be given.

Here were the 7 assorted flavours that we have chosen:

Oreo Cheesecake

 My family is a fan of oreo cheesecake, hence I ordered 2 slices of it.

The oreo bits are blended into the cheese and sprinkled on top to provide a nice, consistent crunch with every bite. The cheesecake was very smooth and soft, it will be even better if the crust can be a little thicker.

The fresh blueberries were blended into a smooth homemade jam and drizzled over the airy cheesecakes. Blueberries were sprinkled on the top layer of the cake. The texture of the cheesecake was soft, creamy and moist. Even though the cheesecake was coated with blueberry jam, the cake was not too sweet.

Premium Chocolate Truffle Cake

The Chocolate Truffle Cake has a rich, oozy chocolate ganache centre that’s surrounded by fluffy, moist sponge cake. The taste of chocolate was strong, complemented from cocoa powder, bringing out the roasted flavour of the premium cocoa beans.

I love the beautiful white icing design on the top layer, the colour matched really well. The cream was smooth while the cake was spongy. 

Strawberry Cheesecake

The strawberries were made into a jelly before being smoothed over the cheesecake. The top strawberry part carried a taste of tartness which went well with the airy cheesecake and soft texture crust. Recommend to share the cheesecake while indulging because it can get a little jelak to consume just on your own.

Pistachio Rose Cake

This is my favourite flavour among the assorted flavours that I ordered.

The nutty, fragrant aroma of the finely chopped roasted pistachio combines perfectly with the floral fragrance of dried rose petal. Every bite allowed us to taste the subtle floral fragrance that was really aromatic and made me regret that I didn't order more slices of Pistachio Rose Cake. The pale green cake was soft in texture, like a pillow. This is something not to be missed.

Red Velvet Cake

Red Velvet Cake is the second favourite among the assorted flavours tried. The dark red cake was very fluffy and moist. I like that the red velvet cake was not too sweet, with a hint of bittersweet cocoa powder that balanced the sweetness from the savoury-sweet cream cheese sandwiched in the sponge layers. 

Premium Biscoff Cheesecake

This is my favourite among cheesecake selection. The savoury and crunchiness of the biscoff biscuit crumbs added depth to the cheesecake. I love these biscuit crumbs and the caramel notes of the biscoff cookies together with cream cheese, all these flavours provided a fragrant and delicious mouthful.
