First attempt at Laksa Steamboat XD

For my entire life, I have been trying numerous type of steamboat with a variety of soup bases. It can either be spicy soup base like 'Tom Yum', 'Si Chuan Ma La' and non spicy soup base like 'Herbal Chicken', 'Chrysanthemum', etc. Despite having and trying so many different types of steamboat, my interest for it doesn't seems to decrease. Therefore ever since I pass by a steamboat restaurant offering 'Laksa' soup base steamboat, I told myself that I should give it a try someday. And it so so happen that someday appears to be pretty soon...


Steamboat with 'Laksa' base and 'Chicken Soup' base
Although they are only providing ala-carte style steamboat over here,
but we are having lots of fun too. After placing an order for more than
20 different types of ingredients, we were sitting around the spacious
round table with a steamboat pot in the middle, chatting away. (In fact
to some extent, the table was so spacious that there were a few moments
where all of us were standing up cooking and scooping out the ingredients
from the pot. :P) Anyway, the price that you are paying for each and
every plate of ingredients were pretty reasonable and the ingredients were
pretty fresh. On top of that, though they are not providing all the
ingredients at a corner of the restaurant, but at least this can keep the
amount of food wastage to the minimum and the freshness of the ingredients
to the maximum. Either ways, time for some food tasting.

Although the soup is meant to be for cooking the raw ingredients, but we
have thrown Noodles and Rice Vermicelli into the pot too. Trust me, this
is something that one must try over here. The standards for the 'Laksa'
soup base is pretty high. It's pretty sweet and delicious. I think I have
drank more than 4 or 5 bowls of soup with lots of different kinds of
ingredients. This is simply pretty much similar to a 'Laksa' buffet with
the idea of mix and match all the ingredients you want. XD


'Ice Jelly with Honey and Lime'
After giving this sinful steamboat a try, we might have spent an hour or
so chatting none stop and through my friends recommendation, I decided to
give this dessert a try. The refreshing sensation that you will be getting
from the dessert after giving the 'Laksa' steamboat a try is unbeatable.

So where can you give this 'Laksa' steamboat a try?

The name of this restaurant would be 'San Laksa steamboat'. Their
main branch is located along 'Telok Blangah Road', but what I have shown
here would be the newer branch that was located along 'Pasir Panjang Road'.

Notes:
  • Operating Hours: 11am - 11pm
  • The main branch seems to be crazily crowded most of the time, therefore you probably might want to give the branch located along 'Pasir Panjang Road' a try, which is also less crowded, since it's open less than 2 months ago.
