My Review

Does steamboat comes to your mind when u do not know what to cook during get together or during festive season? 

Eat is easy but for the person who needs to prepare it, are you stress up when it comes to preparing for steamboat? Well, it will be good news now as having steamboat is just a few clicks away at the comfort of your home. 

Over the weekend, thanks to Best In Singapore, my family and I got to enjoy a hassle free steamboat experience with Steamboat King Singapore.

Ordering Process

Ordering is easy as their catalog is well arranged. You can either order from their ala carte menu or their king bundles menu or both. They sure have a wide range of ingredients from the ala carte menu.

Ala Carte Menu.

For me, I ordered their Steamboat King Bundle B. No headache needed. I just had to select 2 soup base, fruit and drink. The rest of the ingredients came fixed with the bundle. Easy and details clearly stated. 

Easy to navigate and order. Details clearly stated.

I like it that my selection choices is listed clearly in my shopping cart for me to double check before I checkout. Checkout and payment is easy and seamless too.

Details clearly listed in the cart.

It is great that I can choose the delivery time slot and date. So that I can expect the delivery at the timing convenient to me.

Allows for selection of time slot and date.

Delivery from Steamboat King came on time, within the time slot that I selected. 

Items came well packed in containers. No leakage and nicely arranged. Ready to start our steamboat right away after opening. 

Items well packed.

Items from Steamboat King Bundle B.

Portable Stove Set

All bundle set ordered came with free portable stove and fuel. So you don't have to worry if you do not have one for steamboat. 

Portable Stove set given with every bundle ordered.

Since the portable stove and fuel is given. We decided to use them. It is Ok for me and my brother. However, my old folks seem not quite happy with it. Why? Not like electric pot, where u can see the soup base rolling in the pot when it boils. (Not shiok according to the old folks if cannot see soup rolling😁) The fire from these portable stove seem too small and slow for them. 

It burn off quite fast too. One refill of fuel from the container given by them can last for around 30 minutes until next refill. So I ended up transferring one of the soup base to our own small electric pot instead. 

Gel fuel given to light up the stove.

Soup Base

Bundle B set came with 2 soup base. They have 5 soup base to choose from:

  • Premium Collagen Soup
  • Sichuan Mala Soup
  • Tomato Soup
  • Pork Tonkotsu Soup
  • Kimchi Soup

For me, the first choice is non other than the premium collagen soup. The second soup base I chosen is pork tonkotsu. My old folk at home do not want spicy soup base and pork tonkotsu seems interesting to us.

The soup base came pack in plastic water bags. Easy to pour into the pot and keep for leftovers.

Came packed in plastic water bag (1.5L).

The 2 soup bases taste really delicious especially so after the ingredients are cooked halfway through the steamboat. For the Pork Tonkotsu soup base, I can really taste the pork bone fragrance. For the collagen soup base, it taste really sweet and fragrance to drink on its own. For us, we love the collagen soup base more.

And it is really great for them to include the goji berry and red dates to add into the collagen soup. There are more than enough to put into the soup too.

Dipping Sauces

3 different types of dipping sauces were given, goma shoyu, homemade sambal chilli and Thai chilli sauce. 

Dipping sauces given.

For me, I really love the goma shoyu sauce. It taste salty sour. It goes really well with the meat. The homemade sambal taste quite hot but really fragrance. The amount of dipping sauces given is enough for the steamboat.

Meat and Seafood

Quite a lot of meats were given with bundle B set. For me, I add on their Hokkaido Snow Pork Belly to my order. 

Of all the meat, my family and I love the Hokkaido Snow Pork Belly so much. It is thinly cut, taste so tender, fresh and sweet. I don't even need any dipping sauce with this Hokkaido pork belly. Great choice to add on!

Hokkaido Snow Pork Belly (200g)

The Brazil pork belly and collar that came with the bundle taste as fresh and sweet too. But I find it too thick. The chewing texture will be better if it is cut a little thinner. 

Cooked Brazil pork belly.

The fish taste smooth, fresh and tasty. However, we found fish bone on them. It will be better to check and cut properly so that no fish bone should be found on the fish for steamboat. This will ensure that it will be safe for children to eat during steamboat. 

Our family is not breast meat lover. So quite a lot of chicken breast meats are leftover. My family personally prefer chicken thigh or leg more.

Vegetables and Others

As a vegetable lover, I cannot have steamboat without any vegetables. The bundle came with quite a lot of fresh vegetables especially the Enoki mushroom. It will be great if I am able to choose the 2 types of leafy vegetables instead of fix set given. 

Vegetables provided.

I must mention that of all the other ingredients given, the fastest to be wipe off the table is non other than the 8 pieces of fried beancurd skin roll given. Just a few second into the soup base, it taste really crispy with some of the soup base soaked up by the beancurd skin. 

For me, I don't like to eat fish ball. So usually, I don't touch them during steamboat. It is great that superior fish paste is given in this bundle instead. We have them scoop up using a spoon and throw into the soup base. The fish paste taste really sweet and soft.

Other ingredients.

3 serving of rice and 1 serving of noodles are given too. But there are really too much ingredients and too full for us really. So we actually have 1 serving of rice and noodle leftover.

Noodles, Rice and bottled drinks.

And the watermelon given taste so sweet and juicy. Also, glad that they provide a 1.5L of bottled drinks. Just nice to drink after the steamboat. But it will be better if the drink came icy cold.   

Fruits given too.

Overall, my family and I had an enjoyable and splendid steamboat. Totally relaxing (as no need to prepare the ingredients and soup), ingredients are fresh and tasty and soup base taste really delicious and fragrance. 

Delicious steamboat.

The amount for bundle B is stated as for 3 to 4 pax. But I personally think that bundle B is actually enough for 5 pax, given how full my family (4 pax) is with the amount of leftover ingredients. 

I will definitely order from them again next time during festive or when we are lazy to prepare for steamboat. Their price tag is quite reasonable.   

Happy Ordering!!!
