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.

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.
