Looking to book a steamboat dinner for a CNY get-together or any time the craving for hotpot hits? Consider our list of restaurants for delicious steamboat or hotpot in Singapore.
Said to have originated in Mongolia before spreading to China, steamboat or hotpot meals are a popular staple in many Asian countries. Steamboat in Singapore is almost a way of life, and it is one of the island’s biggest culinary highlights.
There’s plenty to like about hotpot from simple steamboat ingredients to yummy dips, and spicy (or creamy) broths. If you’re after an authentic and satisfying steamboat or hotpot in Singapore, these hotpot restaurants should definitely be on your list.
And if you’re wondering if hotpot is kid-friendly (especially since there’s a boiling vat of soup in the middle of the table!) – we reckon it depends on the age of your kiddo. Older kids absolutely adore the novelty of cooking their own food at the table, and it’s a super interactive fun way to eat as a family.
