[Review] Hassle-free steamboat experience with Steamboat King Singapore
Food Monday, December 28, 2020When the day is rainy and cool, which is the best kind of food you will crave for?
Is this what you are thinking about? |
I have found that my comfort food is a piping-hot steamboat meal or anything hot and soupy!
Preparing steamboat for a family of 5 or for just 2 people can be quite tedious and time-consuming. Going to the market/supermart to get the freshest ingredients (but very often, ends up buying excess cos most ingredients come in a certain portion), washing and slicing the meat and veg. Some of the more hardworking ones even boil the soup stock themselves while I usually just throw in a pack of Japanese soup base or some instant hotpot soup stock to add flavour.
Then I was introduced to the world of steamboat delivery services! Such pampering and convenience!
First impression
I ordered the bundle set suitable for 3-4 pax which was more than sufficient for my family of 3 adults and 2 teens. The food came on time and was nicely packed. The soups and sauces were tightly sealed without any spillage.

Ingredients and Soup base
The meat and vegetables are fresh as promised too! That is because Steamboat King receives its ingredients in small batches every second day, hence retaining the freshness of their ingredients.
Signature Sauces
A good dipping sauce accentuates the flavour and freshness of good ingredients. There are 3 signature handmade sauces - Goma Soyu (which is sesame and soy sauce), Homemade Sambal and Thai Chilli. The spicy tangy taste of the sambal sauce is my favourite!
