Steamboat King: Having your steamboat anytime, anywhere! [sponsored]

Have you ever had a sudden craving for steamboat, but just had to settle for just anything soupy because there's absolutely no time to go grocery shopping and finishing all the steamboat preparation works by the end of the day? 

Now, what if I'm telling you, you can get your steamboat lunch/dinner/supper (or even breakfast!) all setup and good to go in just ONE HOUR? 

I kid you not. With Steamboat King, you definitely can!

Rated as one of the Best 8 Steamboat Delivery in Singapore by BestInSingapore, Steamboat King provides an impressive service of a FREE 1-hour delivery islandwide, Steamboat King also carries portable accessories such as cookers and pots, making them your one-stop site to get literally everything you'll need to get your steamboat parties started in just ONE hour, ANYWHERE you fancy. 

With a team of brilliant chefs with over 30 years of culinary experiences, Steamboat King has put together winning recipes behind each of the 5 broths they're offering: Premium Collagen, Sichuan Mala, Tomato, Kimchi and Pork Tonkotsu

Steamboat Bundle B (3 - 4 pax) - $99 (Usual $129)

For just $99, we can get 4 portions of carbohydrates along with a selection of meat, seafood, vegetables and other frozen/processed food, along with 3 out of the 5 dipping sauces available on their menu. On top of that, there's also watermelon slices as dessert and a 1.5L bottled drink! 

You can also choose to get up to two of their complimentary 14cm portable stove sets!

For the broths, I went for kimchi and pork tonkotsu. And because my dad dislike kimchi (always saying it's smelly), we used the portable stove set for the kimchi broth and ended up only using half of the 1L pack (around 500ml?). My mum quite liked the kimchi broth too, and we saved up the broth to make kimchi soup a few days later. YUM! 

And now my mum keeps saying she want to buy their ala carte kimchi broth just to cook kimchi soup at home. HAHAHA!

The ingredients were all super fresh and well packed. Who would have thought that a steamboat meal at home can be such a fuss-free, open-and-eat kind of affair? 

One thing to note, the portable stove, although ridiculously cute, didn't really work that well. As I've mentioned earlier, we ended up using about only 500ml of the kimchi broth not only because the pot is really tiny, but also because you won't get the broth (and its content) to a boil at all. Not even a simmer. 

And as the broth came chilled, we had to heat the cold broth up in a pot over the hob before pouring the boiling broth into the portable stove pot. The broth only barely started simmering when we were nearing the end of our meal and burning out the 2nd pot of fuel. 

So if you're planning to hold a steamboat party outdoor, do considering getting a proper portable gas/induction cooker and pot or prepare your own cooker hobs and pots to heat up the broth instead of relying solely on the complimentary 14cm stove sets. 

And of course, if you're unwilling to be limited to their fixed choices in their bundle packages, you can always go for ala carte (from broths, to steamboat ingredients, right down to their carbohydrates and dipping sauces) ordering to get your ideal steamboat meal with all your favourite foods and flavours.
