Our friends Mr and Mrs Song make the most delicious steamboat! They are also the first who introduce to us how to eat steamboat differently from our usual Singaporean way!
We love eating steamboat at their place not only because the food is absolutely fantastic but also because of the fun and laughter we have over the steamy hot air and boiling hot soup! Of course, the weather plays a crucial role in this fellowship of hotness!
Let me introduce to you the Brissy Qing dao version steamboat!
The ingredients include: 1) Jian you bao (below)- it comes in a big packet with all these little fried balls, what you need to do is to crush it into soup and the ball would automatically absorb the soup and you end up eating soggy baos! I love the act of crushing the balls more than eating them!
2) See the white colour looking balls below? Its Yu Bao Dan (translated as fish ball egg). Its actually fish balls with fish eggs in it. I am not sure its the taiwanese or hongkongers who introduce this to Brissy but the Singaporeans (us) love it to bits and couldn't find it in Singapore! So now, we are eating as MUCH as we can.
3) Our favourite mushroom meatball and the slice beef and pork! Yumz...
4) Mr Song does the best soup base. The soup is made up of the many hours of boiling spareribs, lots of chinese herbs and dash of sesame seeds!
5) And finally, my super duper favourite dish- dong toufu (frozen beancurd). The beancurd must be frozen and defrost for an hour before eating. It has to have those holes (see the pic below) so that it would absorb the soup and when you bite into it, the soup will spurt out from the toufu into your mouth!
