Looking for something delicious to share with family and friends this CNY? Consider our list of restaurants for delicious steamboat or hot pot in Singapore

Said to have originated in Mongolia before spreading to China, steamboat or hot pot meals (also called hotpot) are a popular staple in many Asian countries. Steamboat in Singapore is almost a way of life, and is one of the island’s biggest culinary highlights. There’s plenty to like about hot pot too, what with the simple ingredients, yummy dips, and spicy (or creamy) broths. If you’re after an authentic and satisfying steamboat or hot pot in Singapore, these restaurants should definitely be on your list.

And if you’re wondering if hotpot is kid-friendly (what with 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.
