Thai Style Steamboat

Steamboat, one of the best food choices if you are looking at a large group of people. However, probably most of us have eaten a Chinese Style Steamboat countless times, but have you given a Thai Style Steamboat a tried before?

'Thai Style Steamboat Dome Shaped Metal Pan' The 'pan' itself looks pretty unique. There's holes all over the 'hill' in the middle of the 'pan'. Beneath it are a hill of burnt charcoal. Around the 'pan' would be a river of 'Tom Yum Soup'. And I personally find the 'Tom Yum Soup' pretty tasty. It's sour and yet a little bit spicy. In fact the taste of it is so good that I think the both of us almost finish a whole kettle of it.

'The Ingredients' This would be the set for 2 that they are offering over here. Being a big eater, I don't think that these ingredients are sufficient to feed the 2 of us. Anyway, some of the meat slices are pretty satisfying and the variety of ingredients were pretty great too. (However, portion wise it's... =.=""") So what's the next step?

So how to appreciate it. Firstly, add a piece of pig lard to the middle of the 'hill' of the 'pan'. Let the oil of the pig lard cover the 'hill'. Next, you can add pieces of meat slices to cover the 'hill' of the 'pan'. (Basically, this is pretty much similar to the mixture of 2 cooking styles, which is barbecuing and pan-fried. But do be careful. The meat slices could ended up pretty ugly if it goes unnoticed.) Oh, by the way you can also throw the ingredients into the river of 'Tom Yum Soup' too. Anyway, once you done with all the cooking, please do give the 'Tom Yom Soup' a try again. The taste of it have become much more richer and better, especially when all the oil of the meat slices have also flow into the soup itself, which is an innovative idea of appreciating good food/soup. :D

The milky way of Laksa

Usually when I think of a bowl of 'Laksa', it should be a bowl of noodles and a strong orange colour bowl of soup. However, it seems that there are exceptions...

'Laksa'
Pretty much the same as how a Singaporean would describe a bowl of
'Laksa', you will be using a spoon to finish up the whole bowl of
'Laksa' over here. All the ingredients used in the preparing this
small little bowl of 'Laksa' are in bite size. After taking a few
bites from this bowl of 'Laksa', I come to recognise the fact that
the 'Laksa' soup was very milky. Though it's still a 'Laksa' soup,
however the sweet taste is much more stronger than the spicy taste.
And as and when you put a spoonful of ingredients and 'Laksa' soup
into your mouth, the taste of the 'Laksa' is remarkably good~~~

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

The name of this stall would be 'Marine Parade Laksa - The Original
Katong Laksa'(正宗加东叻沙). It's located on level 1 of 'Roxy Square'.
