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.

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.

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.

Shi Li Fang is one of the best and most wallet-friendly steamboat places to chill and catch up with your friends.

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.

Face Your Fears This Friday The 13th At Science Centre’s New Exhibition

Does the thought of drowning scare you?

What about being buried alive?

Face your fears at this brand new exhibition that explores the science behind fear.

Rationalise and conquer your fears at Phobia²: The Science of Fear from 13th April onwards.

Clowns, Coffins And Claustrophobia

Guests will embark on a journey about common fears and phobias as well as self-discovery. So if you’re planning on overcoming your fears, we suggest you bring a friend with you.

[caption id="attachment_33963" align="aligncenter" width="280"] GIF Credit: giphy.com[/caption]

This exhibition is designed to stimulate guests with a low-level anxiety experience so you don’t have to worry about any clowns jumping on you or being trapped in a tiny box.

We went through it and survived to tell the tale. We promise you, it’s 100% safe.

Designed by Newman Entertainment International (NEI), the exhibition features all sorts of interactive galleries for guests to gain a better understanding about fear.

Here are the galleries we highly recommend!

Buried Alive

[caption id="attachment_33952" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] Buried Alive Gallery[/caption]

Have you ever had a dream where you’re being buried alive and you scream but no one ever hears you?

Taphophobia is the fear of being buried alive. So if you ever want to know how it feels like to be buried alive, all you have to do is slide under the coffin and see it for yourself.

We got to try it out ourselves, safe to say, we don’t ever want to face that situation ever again.

Sideshow Carnival

We all hate clowns. Nobody likes clowns.

Needless to say, this clown gallery scared the living daylights out of us.

[caption id="attachment_33959" align="aligncenter" width="480"] Sideshow Carnival Gallery[/caption]

You can expect to enter a space which is decorated like a side-show carnival. This room contains various sculptures, a life sized comical clown and interactive displays.

This was hands down the freakiest gallery in the entire exhibition.

We could barely last more than 5 minutes in this room.

Claustrophobia

[caption id="attachment_33960" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] Claustrophobia Gallery[/caption]

Claustrophobia is the fear of enclosed spaces and boy oh boy, this particular one felt like there was no way out.

As you walk into this tunnel, it becomes smaller so you are required to stoop down and squeeze out into a small winding tunnel to exit.

The exit was so small that we had to get down on our hands and legs just to be able to get out.

Do remember that you can bypass this experience by taking a ‘Chicken Out’ door.

The Stage Is Yours

[caption id="attachment_33961" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] The Stage Is Yours Gallery[/caption]

Have you ever given a speech in school or work that made your palms sweaty and your knees go weak?

Speaking in front of a crowd may come naturally for some but a nightmare for others.

The exhibit offers guests the opportunity to stand in front of a projection dome. You are to read out loud from a teleprompter to a projected audience who will then react in real-time to the comments made in the speech.

We couldn’t help but feel slightly insecure when the crowd started laughing mid-speech but don’t worry, they’ll give you a standing ovation at the end.

Give this one a try if you haven’t tried speaking in front of a crowd.

Sitting For An Exam

[caption id="attachment_33962" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] Sitting For An Exam Gallery[/caption]

Studying for an exam is pretty nerve wrecking, especially when your final grades depend on it.

Enter a room with study desks that contain TV panels built within the desk tops.

Through the TV panels, students will share their experiences on exam fears and provide tips on how to overcome them.

If you know someone who fears sitting for an exam, bring them here to learn tips and tricks on how to overcome their fears.

Phobia²: The Science of Fear is the perfect opportunity for you to conquer your fears. With over 14 galleries for you to choose from, this exhibition is truly educational and highly interactive.

Who knows, you might eventually face your fears this Friday the 13th.

Grab your friends, gather some courage and head on down to Science Centre for this exciting exhibition!

Phobia²: The Science of Fear
Price: Admission to the exhibition is free. Standard admission charges to the Science Centre applies.

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.

2. Chuan Le Xiang Lok Lok

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.

There’re three soup bases for you to choose from (chicken/mala/satay) but we highly recommend the satay base. Each base pot will cost you $8.

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

4. JQ Pot

Tucked away in Pasir Panjang Food Centre is a shop that sells Lok Lok with a twist. Instead of dipping your skewered ingredients in peanut sauce, you get a pot of gooey melted cheese.

The cheese used is a mixture of nacho cheese and mozzarella. In case you’re someone who downs cheese like water, they provide refills for free. So you can eat all the cheese that you want.

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!

There is a minimum order of 7 sticks, and ranges from $1.20 – $3.00 per stick. You can expect plenty of vegetable skewers and even udon wrapped in pork belly!

Located in Chomp Chomp Food Centre, you can expect a 45 minute wait as the process to prepare these skewers involves coating the chosen skewers in their special homemade sauce and either grilling these skewers over a charcoal grill, or deep frying them.

However it’s truly worth the wait, so sit around, enjoy a drink or two while Wang BBQ & Grill prepares their special Lok Lok for you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

All Subway Singapore Outlets To Stop Selling Pork From Today Onwards

Subway Singapore has announced on their Facebook page that they will no longer be serving pork products in all outlets from today onwards.

Say Goodbye To Pork

“No pork, doesn’t mean other meat are halal already what?”

I know, I know, but this also means we’re one step closer to easing everyone into the idea of a Halal Subway!

This topic has been a hit among Singaporeans as we debate endlessly in the comments section whether “To halal or not to halal?”

Just take a look at the comments.

Oh, this one’s my favourite.

[caption id="attachment_33670" align="aligncenter" width="998"] Image Credit: Subway Singapore Facebook[/caption]

Someone please, just save this poor person and give her the Italian BMT already! I almost feel bad for her potential breakup with the sandwich.

Since end of January, Subway has been in talks with MUIS regarding the halal certification process. Everyone found out, threw a fit and acted as if the world was about to end.

Subway didn’t care anyway and almost 60 outlets have stopped selling pork products since 31 January. If you didn’t already know, you can see the list here.

I get it. I’m so sorry for the loss of your pork. But please, please, give us Muslims a chance to enjoy Subway. I’m so tired of travelling all the way to JB just for a goddamn sandwich.

I understand that it may seem unfair to take the pork out of Subway for all the hardcore fans but let’s all calm down and wait for Subway’s explanation.

Subway may lose a couple of patrons because they no longer want to sell pork, but I’m pretty sure the rest of the non-pork eating community are more than happy to still patronise Subway.
