These Steamboat Spots In S’pore Confirm Will Make You Steaaammm
Hai Di Lao is arguably the most popular steamboat spot in Singapore. They’ve been drawing crowds with their insanely good tomato broths and noodle-bending staff.
However, while Hai Di Lao is great, I refuse to wait over an hour just for a table. Especially when I’m hungry. Here’s a list of great alternatives to satisfy that steamboat craving.
1. JPOT
JPOT only offers individual hotpots, which is great because I’m picky when it comes to the ingredients that goes into my hotpot.
They offer a wide variety of ingredients and 9 different soup bases. My personal favourites are the Tom Yum Soup and the JPOT Superior Broth.
[caption id="attachment_34036" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Image Credit: JPOT[/caption]The other unique soup bases include the Laksa, Chilli Crab Soup, Bak Kut Teh Soup, Fish Head Soup and Porridge. Yes, that’s right. You can choose to cook your ingredients in a pot of porridge.
[caption id="attachment_34035" align="aligncenter" width="1080"] Image Credit: JPOT[/caption]You have to order their Wagyu Ribeye, Handmade Jumbo Pork Ball, and their Handmade Fish Balls. The marbling on the Wagyu Ribeye is perfect and is so tender it barely holds its form on my chopsticks.
The Handmade Fish Balls come in a platter of 6 and are different from the conventional fishballs. The fishballs are made fresh and you can actually taste the fish instead of just a generic fish paste. One platter is never enough.
You can view their complete menu here.
That’s not all, with 16 sauces and condiments available, you can create your own dips for your hotpot experience.
JPOT is the place to go if you’re looking for a genuinely good and fuss-free steamboat meal.

2. Shi Li Fang
Shi Li Fang is one of the few affordable steamboat places in Singapore.
[caption id="attachment_34038" align="aligncenter" width="1080"] Image Credit: @agacialim[/caption]They have a good variety of broths available. Choose from their Tonic Chicken Soup, Specialty Mala Soup, Beauty Chicken Collagen Soup, Nourishing Fish Soup, Ravishing Tomato Soup, and Tasty Mushroom Soup.
Their Specialty Mala Soup is actually milder and drinkable, unlike Hai Di Lao’s intense Mala broth.
Be sure to order their Japanese Kurobuta Pork, Japanese Wagyu Beef, and their Fish Roe ‘Glue’. The quality of the meat is surprisingly decent and the Fish Roe ‘Glue’ is a paste that has been incorporated generously with Fish Roe.
[caption id="attachment_34037" align="aligncenter" width="669"] Image Credit: Shi Li Fang[/caption]Shi Li Fang is one of the best and most wallet-friendly steamboat places to chill and catch up with your friends.

3. Beauty In The Pot
Beauty In The Pot is a hotpot concept that offers 2 signature broths – the Beauty Collagen Broth and Spicy Nourishing Soup.
The Beauty Collagen Broth is essentially Shark’s Cartilage Soup while the Spicy Nourishing Soup is a Pork Bone Soup with 3 levels of spiciness available.
[caption id="attachment_34041" align="aligncenter" width="1080"] Image Credit: @pnakswasdi[/caption]If you’re at the newer OneKM outlet, they offer 4 more broths besides the signature 2.
There’s the Herbal Drunk Chicken Broth, Cooling Coconut Broth, Longevity Wild Pine Mushroom Broth, and the Vitamin C Tomato Sweet Corn Broth.
Some of the must-order ingredients include their homemade Fish Tofu that is freshly prepared daily and is exclusive to Beauty In A Pot, as well as their Ebiko Prawn Paste that uses 100% fresh prawns.
[caption id="attachment_34040" align="aligncenter" width="1080"] Image Credit: @zoeeeyang[/caption]While Beauty In The Pot might be a little pricier, the freshness and quality of the ingredients makes the meal more than worth the money.

If You’ve Always Wanted To Go To A Frat Party, There’s One Happening This Wednesday
If you’ve seen any American Pie movie or Bad Neighbours, you’d know that Hollywood has a rather dramatic portrayal of university life.
The insane frat parties, loud party music, kegs upon kegs of booze, and all the coolest kids in school.
[caption id="attachment_33922" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Image Credit: Image Credit: Club AVRY[/caption]The event, a collaboration between a group of university students and Club AVRY, will be happening this Wednesday, 11 April 2018.
Are you 18?
To enter, you will need to present your university matriculation card and ID. If you’re alumni, you may also use your old matriculation card. Entry is free for ladies and $10 for guys. It’s for the House Fund.
On top of that, everyone will get a free initiation drink on the house. Guests who wish to join Alpha Sigma will have to perform a special ritual and down a super drink before entry is granted. Classic frat house.
Each party will be powered by DJs from various universities. This week’s party will feature selected DJs from NUS.
During the party, look out for activities such as Beer Pong (of course), Beer Bong, and the Tequila boys who will be going around with water guns filled with vodka.
[caption id="attachment_33920" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] Image Credit: Image Credit: Mercado Libre[/caption]There’ll also be a Gummy Bear going around with a bag of alcoholic gummy bears.
Find and show him the number of Instastories you’ve taken at Alpha Sigma and he’ll give you a handful of vodka gummy bears corresponding to the number of Instastories you’ve taken.
And that’s not all. At the end of the night, Jello Shots will be given to all guests. Take a photo of yourself doing the Alpha sign, tag #Clout #AVRY #AlphaSigma, and upload it to Instagram.
[caption id="attachment_33923" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Image Credit: Liquor.com[/caption]Present the Instagram post at the door and every 20 likes gets you 1 free Jello Shot redemption coupon, with a maximum of 10 Jello Shots redeemable per person.
Beers go for $10 a bottle at Alpha Sigma. But if you think you’re a fast drinker, challenge the Beer Chugging Wall Of Fame.
[caption id="attachment_33924" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Image Credit: Studomat[/caption]Chug a beer as fast as you can and if you finish within the top 3 timings, you’ll get the bottle of beer for free!
If you’re looking to experience a fraternity house party for yourself, gather your friends and head down to Alpha Sigma at Club AVRY this Wednesday!

Find, Reserve, And Go To Your Favourite Restaurant With Just Google Maps
Making reservations at restaurants is one of the things you learn to do as you grow into an adult but nobody enjoys long interactions with strangers.
Because we’re all awkward turtles, we’ve got some good news to share.
Today, Google announced that they’ve partnered with Chope, HungryGoWhere, and Quandoo to launch the new “Reserve with Google” feature.
That’s right, Singaporean users are now able to make reservations at their favourite restaurants directly on Google Maps and Search.
[caption id="attachment_33872" align="aligncenter" width="609"] Image Credit: Google[/caption]Because making a reservation has always been a bit of a hassle, Google is making that process more seamless.
Now you can just Google search for a restaurant, view its real-time availability, and make a reservation immediately by clicking on the “Find a table” button.
How To Make A Restaurant Reservation With Google
- Open Google Maps and search for a restaurant or tap on a restaurant you see on the map.
- Tap on the name of the restaurant for more information. If the restaurant uses OpenTable, you should see a “Find a table” button along with the available time slots.
- If you’re looking for a time slot that’s not listed, you can update the number of people you’re reserving for, and the specific time slot.
- You should be redirected to a confirmation page for your reservation once everything is done.
- A confirmation email from OpenTable will be sent to you shortly after confirmation.
Changing or cancelling reservations are also easy. Go to the confirmation email sent to you by OpenTable and just tap on Change or Cancel.
Also, if your Gmail is registered with OpenTable, you’ll get Dining Rewards points for your reservation.
Say goodbye to multiple redirections to different websites and frustratingly long waiting times for reservation calls!
