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.

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"]

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.

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.

You remember him with his scooter, offering some of your favourite ice cream flavours such as Peppermint Chocolate Chip, Mango, and Raspberry Ripple, sandwiched between your choice of wafer or that magical rainbow bread that we all thought has its own flavour.

Lok No Further, Here Are The Best Lok Lok Spots In Singapore So You Don’t Have To Travel To JB
I’ll always remember the first time I ate Lok Lok out of a converted van in JB. Although it was a tad unhygienic, it was a truly fun and unique dining experience.
Lok Lok is a dish consisting of various deep-fried foods such as meats and vegetables that are served on a skewer and traditionally dipped into thick satay sauce.
Lok Lok is EXTREMELY underrated in Singapore. If you haven’t tried it, honestly why?
So here it is. Here’s a list of Lok Lok spots you can enjoy in Singapore so you don’t have to travel all the way to JB.

This next one is a little bit out of the way but definitely worth the trip.
This old school Lok Lok dining experience is a passed-down 25-year Singapore family-kept recipe extracted from Satay Bee Hoon.

Best part, each stick goes as low as $1 so you know you’ll be leaving this place with a food coma.

Their Cheesy BBQ Lok Lok ($38) comes in a set which includes 18 sticks of food of your choice. You can also order additional skewered ingredients if you’re still hungry!

This Japanese-Inspired French Patisserie Serves Cakes That Are Too Pretty To Eat
If there’s one thing that I can eat for the rest of my life, it would be a good slice of cake.
Now I love cakes as much as, if not more than, the next person. I look forward to my birthday every year because I know I’ll get to indulge in a rich Belgium dark chocolate cake, finished with a silky chocolate glaze.
[caption id="attachment_33875" align="aligncenter" width="450"]

I thought no other cakes could ever win my heart. Until, I came across a beautiful, magnificent piece of cake.
After a bit more research, it led me to this really quaint and simple patisserie. Flor Patisserie, you’ve won my heart this time round.
Fantastic Cakes And Where To Eat Them
Flor Patisserie is a Japanese-styled patisserie that serves authentic Japanese inspired French pastry.

Needless to say, their creations are truly a work of art.

3. The Royals Steakhouse
The Royals franchise started out as a dessert and cake shop along East Coast Road. As business grew, they continued to open restaurants all over the city.
The Royals Steakhouse started business in 2015, in a little shophouse unit along Jalan Pisang serving premium quality Halal steaks from Australia and New Zealand.
In fact, the steak here is so good that they separate the sauces from the meat so you can truly taste the original flavour of the steak.
The Tomahawk steak seems like something from The Flintstones, but this huge slab of steak is perfect for sharing with family.
Priced at $9.50 per 100g, the Tomahawk steak typically weighs between 1.3kg – 1.5kg. The price is such a steal however for a limited time only as it is an introductory offer for their Tomahawk.

Just look at the amount of meat!
https://www.facebook.com/TheRoyalsSteakhouse/videos/1658015967611357/
As the Tomahawk is a special item on the menu, customers are advised to call up beforehand to enquire about stock availability and to make reservations.
Just in case you prefer something that isn’t too crazy, The Prime New Zealand Ribeye 200-220g ($28) is the perfect choice for you.
The ribeye is lightly dabbed with salt before grilling. The exterior is nicely charred while retaining a juicy red centre.

If you like your steak tender, packed full of flavour and still moo-ing then the onglet is much cheaper and has three times the flavour.
Huber’s Angus Hanging Onglet 160g ($18) is the perfect choice if you enjoy the strong beefy flavour. It comes topped with onion confit and served with fries.

Tasty Street ‘Spoils Market’ With Wagyu Beef, Iberico Pork Rice Bowls Under $7
We’ve seen many stalls selling ricebowls. From poké bowls to fancy Japanese donburi, we’ve seen it all.
Now, a new player steps into the ring. Meet Tasty Street.
[caption id="attachment_33772" align="aligncenter" width="1280"]
Tasty Street – Our Little Red Dot[/caption]
Tasty Street was started by 3 friends who met during their Polytechnic days, using modern cooking techniques to combine local flavours and premium ingredients into a grain bowl.
Premium Ingredients, Affordable Prices
Each grain bowl comes with a protein of your choice with a paired homemade sauce, brown and pearl rice base, vegetable of the day, a sour or spicy side of the day, charred sweet corn, and a beautifully poached onsen egg.
Their bestsellers are the Wagyu Beef Bowl, Iberico Lor Bah Bowl, and the Sous Vide Chicken Breast Bowl with Truffled Hotplate Tofu Sauce.
[caption id="attachment_33776" align="aligncenter" width="1280"]
Bestsellers at Tasty Street[/caption]
The Sous Vide Chicken Breast Bowl with Truffled Hotplate Tofu Sauce ($6.50) comes with their signature Truffled Hotplate Tofu Sauce, which still retains a strong taste of the hot bean paste used as the base for the sauce.

[caption id="attachment_33777" align="aligncenter" width="1280"]

The chicken breast wasn’t dry (thankfully) and retained its moisture because of the Sous Vide cooking method. It was a little gamey, as all poached chicken do.
However, the truffled hotplate tofu sauce does its job well, masking most of the gamey taste of the chicken breast.
The Wagyu Beef Bowl ($6.50) uses premium Australian Wagyu beef, grilled and served with Asian black pepper sauce.
This is a crowd favourite and sells out fast.

[caption id="attachment_33778" align="aligncenter" width="1280"]

The wagyu beef was perfectly grilled to medium rare doneness and was still pink in the centre. If you’re like me and prefer meat to be cooked through, then you’re the exception rather than the norm.
Finally, the Iberico Lor Bah Bowl ($6.50).

Look at the fattiness of the Iberico pork[/caption]
[caption id="attachment_33779" align="aligncenter" width="1280"]
Image Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]
Premium Iberico pork is slow-braised for 48 hours to create this sinful dish. The resulting braising liquid better known as Lor, is sweet with a tinge of bitterness that doesn’t overshadow the Iberico pork and isn’t jelak either.
The Iberico pork lives up to its name with a perfect balance of fat to lean meat ratio and is so tender that it barely holds its shape when held with chopsticks.
While the stars of the rice bowls are the proteins, the sides are not neglected either. The vegetables and sides are rotated daily and they serve to complement the proteins, so the rice bowls don’t end up becoming jelak.
The charred sweet corn is a mainstay in the rice bowls and are so good that customers have ordered just the corn alone. Yes, you can do that for just $1.
Their Buona Vista outlet only offers these 3 bestsellers.
The outlet at Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre has a more extensive menu, with a vegetarian Deep Fried Tofu Bowl ($5.50) and 2 seafood options in the Griddled Prawn Bowl ($6.50) that comes in 2 types of sauces.
It’s hard to find a hawker that offers rice bowls made with premium ingredients, and at the price that Tasty Street offers, no less.
While Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre might be at the opposite end of the island for me, I would gladly head back to Tasty Street just for another taste of their addictive rice bowls.
I cannot wait to see what other creations they might come up with in future.
