These days, with the constant raining, nothing beats having steamboat in the comfort of your own home. So when Best In Singapore reached out to me to review Singapore's leading complete steamboat experience, Steamboat Delivery Singapore, I welcomed the opportunity with open arms! Hah!

ORDERING PROCESS

For this review, I was given a coupon for their Steamboat King Bundle B (3-4pax) and this allowed me to test out the ordering process. The website is easy to navigate and you will have to input in your personal details for the delivery process. 

DELIVERY PROCESS

I choose the time slot for 5.45pm - 6.45pm and our food came at 6.30pm. I like that everything was packed neatly in containers and bags, making it was easy to set up our dinner.

For this review, I ordered their Steamboat King Bundle B (3-4pax).

Steamboat King Bundle B (3-4pax)

Soup Base Choice: Premium Collagen Soup  & Sichuan Mala Soup (1.5 litre each)

Thoughts:

Soups came in convenient pouches for easy use and storage. I appreciate that they provided wolfberries and dates for the collagen soup, it does make a difference to the soup! 

My hubby shared that while collagen soup was lighter and less viscous than other collagen soups we've had before, the flavor was pretty good. I personally would have preferred it to be more on the gelatinous side. 

The mala soup came in a different packaging, and had a slight kick to it, it wasn't too numbing and the spiciness level is ok.

Protein:
Fresh White Fish Slices (200 grams)
Chicken Shabu (200 grams)
Pork Belly Shabu (200 grams)
Pork Collar Shabu (200 grams)
Chicken Sausage (200 grams)

Superior Fish Paste (150 grams)

Egg Tofu (100 grams)

Add on: Pork Collar 200g

Thoughts: The meats were nicely packed and were quite fresh. The pork belly were of a nice thick cut, the pork collar were firm. 

However, the fish paste wasn't as impressive though, we found it too soft and mushy. It would have been better if it had more of a springy texture and a firmer mouthfeel. It was lacking in flavor and was rather salty too.

A nice addition were the egg tofu and chicken sausages. Not much to say about these but it was a welcoming sight as it reminded me of the steamboats I had when I was a child.

Overall, my hubby and I were quite satisfied with the protein selection.

Vegetables & Fruit:

Enoki Mushroom (100 grams)

Fried Beancurd Skin Roll (8 pieces)

Chinese Long Cabbage (200 grams)

Shanghai Green (200 grams)

Watermelon (4 pax)

I love that the vegetable portions were huge and generous, and they came as fresh as they could as well! The usual fried beancurd skin rolls are always a joy to see!

And we appreciate that the watermelons came sliced and ready to consume after the steamboat meal. Perfect way to cool down the body and end the meal!

Sauces:
Home-made Sambal Chilli Sauce (60ml x 2)
Thai Chilli sauce (60ml x 2)
Goma shoyu sauce (60ml x 2)

The condiments were a nice accompaniment to the meats, and they come free with every Steamboat bundle!

The goma shoyu was the best in my opinion, it went well with the meat. 

And because Singaporeans love our chili, thai sweet chili and the home made sambal chili were provided too! The sambal paired the fish well.

Tools:
2 sets of Portable Hotpot Stove Set (14cm) & fuel

2 sets of extra Fuel

These are the pots that were included in our package. They have the gel fuel in a small metal container wrapped nicely in aluminum foil for you to start, and another small plastic container for topping up later on. 

I like how fuss free the set up really is, all you need is to remove the aluminum and light it up!

However, if you want to set it up quicker, I would suggest boiling up the soup on your stove to get it to a rolling boil and add in your first round of ingredients, before putting it on the portable stove with the fuel to enjoy slowly. It shortens the waiting time and makes the fuel stretch its use.

Conclusion

The packaging of the products were convenient and well arranged. The portions of this bundle are more than enough to feed 3 to 4 people. The produce were fresh, and the selections were enjoyable. The flavor of the soup bases we selected were a bit lacking, but enjoyable still and as with all steamboat, as you add more ingredients, the flavor develops. I like that the bundle came with rice, noodles and a 1.5L bottle of drink.

Will I re-order: Yes, I think this bundle will work nicely for a gathering at my house because it really is fuss-free and if you do not have the proper equipment for steamboat at home, they provide them too. Even if there are leftovers, it's easy to cook them for meals the next day.

I had leftover collagen soup, so I made steamed egg and stir fry the leftover vegetables and meat for lunch and dinner the next day.

For the past 2 weeks, I've been busy moving into my new home. I've never felt as tired as I am now after all the packing, moving, cleaning and unpacking! So when Best In Singapore reached out to me again for a food collaboration, it was greatly appreciated. To make it even sweeter, this collaboration is with Pizza Delivery Singapore which meant that I could stay home and conserve my energy for unpacking and cleaning!

Pizza Delivery Singapore provides customers with artisan-style pizzas and pasta made on-demand, all ready in minutes and delivered to your doorstep all under 1 hour with just a click away. Their chefs are committed to personally selecting the finest ingredients every week – assuring customers a mouthful of only the freshest pizzas and pasta.

ORDERING PROCESS

For this review, I was given a coupon to select the food that I want and this allowed me to test out the ordering process. The website is easy to navigate and you will have to input in your personal details for the delivery process.

DELIVERY PROCESS

I made my order in the evening after a day of cleaning and unpacking, and selected the next available time of 7.45pm - 8.45pm as my preferred delivery time slot. 

At 8.59pm, I received a call from the delivery man and he said that he was lost and couldn't find my block. So I had to google to see where he was at (because I'm new to my address too) and gave him directions over to my doorstep, and it was around 9. 05pm when my food arrived.

FOOD

For this review, I ordered a range of selection and they were sent to my home in takeaway containers. I appreciate that all of the takeaways came with a time stamp to indicate the time that the food should be consumed within for food safety. Continue reading for my food review!

1. Mozarella Cheese Stick (6 pcs) $14.30

100% Mozzarella sticks battered with golden breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese

Thoughts on this dish: By the time this reached my doorsteps, it wasn't as hot as I would like it to be, so I popped them into my air fryer to re-heat them. The texture isn't as stringy but it's not as heavy as other mozzarella sticks I've tried because it came with a salsa sauce. The tangy sauce helps to cut the heaviness of the cheese.

Will I re-order: Yes!

2. Spaghetti Granchio $32.90

Velvety tomato pasta engulfed in the clean flavour of crab meat, fresh prawns, cherry tomatoes, aromatic white wine and garnished with parsley with a dash of crushed black pepper.

Thoughts on this dish: It came looking different from the image on the website but it's in a good way. The pasta came with a very generous amount of crab meat and prawns, the sauce was a little too heavy in flavor for me but my hubby loves it.

Will I re-order: Yes, but I will need to share it with my hubby.

3. Beef Salami Pizza - Medium (6 slices) $11 with current 50% promo

A classic treat not to be missed! Beef salami in tangy tomato sauce with briny olives, mozzarella cheese topped extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil.

Thoughts on this dish: It wasn't bad but it wasn't fantastic either, to be honest, I'm disappointed with their pizzas. I expected hand-pulled dough, stone oven charred crust, generous amount of tomato sauces and stringy mozzarella cheese but these pizzas weren't it.

Will I re-order: No.

4. Margheritia Pizza - Small (4 slices) $6.95 with current 50% promo

Sink your teeth into the authentic flavors of absolutely fresh tomato sauce, a ton of mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, cherry tomatoes and drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil.

Thoughts on this dish: I like that they offered pizzas in different sizes because sometimes, I just can't eat that much! I love the juiciness of their fat cherry tomatoes.

Will I re-order: I might if they improve on the quality of their pizza. you can tell that this pizza lacks sufficient tomato sauce too.

5. Mushroom Pizza - Medium (6 slices) $11 with current 50% promo

The perfect mushroom lover’s choice – Button, Shitake and Oyster mushrooms in tangy tomato sauce with briny olives, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, extra virgin olive oil and mozzarella cheese.

Thoughts on this dish: This pizza has the most generous serving of sauce, cheese and toppings. I just found it weird that they also had pickles in it which made it taste weird.

Will I re-order: I don't think I will, the taste of it is too unique for my liking.

 

6. Mistocarne Pizza - Small (4 slices) $8.45 with current 50% promo

The perfect choice for a true meat lover! Bite into pork pepperoni, beef bolognese and chicken breast all in one pizza, topped with extra virgin olive oil and a ton of mozzarella cheese.

Thoughts on this dish: It tasted ok, but it's not memorable. The meat on it was cooked right, the chicken breast was still tender and not overcooked. I like that all of the pizza came with Parmesan cheese & chili flakes.

Will I re-order: Maybe, in a bigger size.

Overall, I have to admit that I have a higher expectation for their pizzas and it doesn't help that I've eaten really good handmade pizzas (my hubby's a chef). I would be keen to try out the rest of their pasta selection and re-order the mozarella cheese sticks again. If you would like to try these dishes and their selection out, you may do so online at:

Recently, I collaborated with Best in Singapore to bring you this post on Sushi Delivery Singapore and my experience with their food! For the Top 5 Best Online Sushi delivery services in Singapore 2020, do check out Best In Singapore's post!

Focusing on a pure delivery model, Sushi Delivery is said to be the king of delivering sushi in Singapore with their quick, painless and customer-oriented delivery service. 

ORDERING PROCESS

For this review, I didn't go through with the ordering process because the food were already set for me. However, to go through this process myself, I ordered lunch on a separate day and I found to be quick, easy and simple.

Just a few clicks on their website and you will have to input in your personal details as with all online order!

DELIVERY PROCESS

For this review, I chose 12- 2pm for delivery time and I'm surprised by how punctual they are. For the lunch that I ordered, delivery fee is fixed at $5.90 and the food came around 30 minutes after I ordered!

They pride themselves on their delivery ability that, in the unlikely event, your sushi arrives 60 minutes past the selected time slot, Sushi Delivery will offer you $10 off for your next order with them. 

 Additionally, to check on your delivery status after you order, you can drop Sushi Delivery a whatsapp message to ease your delivery concerns. 

FOOD

For this review, a total of 8 dishes were sent to my home in takeaway containers and  they arrived warmed for the hot dishes and cold with ice pad for the cold dish. Continue reading for my food review!

1. California Maki (8pcs) $10.90

A generous serving of sweet kani (crab) stick, crunchy Japanese cucumber, sweet tamago and crab stick are wrapped in nori and sushi rice and coated with a generous serving of savoury sweet tobiko. Japanese mayonnaise adds a touch of extra creaminess to this sushi roll.

Thoughts on this dish: The tobiki seems fresh, the crab stick is pretty plumped, the tamago was nicely seasoned and the cucumber is fresh and crunchy. 

My dad licked the tobiko off the lid, while I enjoyed this California Maki with the popping of the tobiko as I chew. My mum also commented that this was one of her favourite out of the whole selection.

Will I re-order: Yes!

2. Kappa Maki (1 Roll) (Vegan) $3.90

Japanese cucumber wrapped in sushi rice and nori (seaweed)

Thoughts on this dish: I expected more of this because it's such a simple sushi to prepare. One of the pieces had half a cucumber (I believe it's the end of the roll), and the pieces are not evenly cut because some are a little shorter than others.

 
Will I re-order: Nope, for its price point and the fact that it was done to near perfection for a simple sushi... I won't order this at $3.90 unless some improvements are made. Considering that this is something a vegetarian would order, I think it could be improved with a more generous cut of cucumber and rice. I also wish they have more selection for vegetarian.

3. Chuka Kurage $4.67, now $4

Kurage (jellyfish) served with a white radish garnish.

Thoughts on this dish: Sliced jellyfish is one of my favourite dishes from my childhood because of its texture. 

I like that this tasted fresh and it was nicely seasoned. It wasn't too salty or spicy so it's easy to eat this on it's own. My dad commented that this is one of his favourite out of the whole selection too.

Will I re-order: Yes!

4. Kani Salad $8.30, now $6.90

A fresh mix of kani (crab) stick, cherry tomatoes, capsicums and lettuce are dressed in a goma (sesame) sauce and finished with a tobiko (roe) topping.

Thoughts on this dish: There's a generous amount of crab stick in this salad and the tobiko gives the salad a nice texture. My only area for improvement for this dish is a consideration to have the salad dressing separated from the bowl because the salt content in the dressing affects the freshness of the vegetables. 

I would also like to point out that there's celery in this salad so for people who don't like celery, take note. My family is perfectly fine with all types of vegetables so we enjoyed this.

Will I re-order: Maybe, if I can get the option to have the salad sauce separated.

5. Shrimp Crouton (5pcs) $4.90 &

6. Tako Yaki (5pcs) $4.90

Crouton coated shrimp deep fried to a golden perfection!

Thoughts on this dish: I was expecting to find shrimps in it but I believe it's minced up instead, would be nice to have a shrimp bit in it. I like that it isn't oily and it's nicely seasoned.

Will I re-order: Yes.

Griddle fried takoyaki with a generous octopus filling drizzled on top with Japanese mayonnaise!

Thoughts on this dish: Unfortunately, I had better takoyaki than this so I am disappointed with this serving. I didn't find the octopus filling generous enough in size.

Will I re-order: No.

7. Yam Net Sponge Roll (5pcs) $5.90

Yam net spring roll deep fried to perfection and drizzled on top with Japanese mayonnaise!

Thoughts on this dish: It's such a pretty dish with its bright purple shade, this was more like a dessert than a savory dish. The texture was a little bit flat after delivery, so I popped it into a mini toaster and I think it improved the crunchiness a little bit. The mayonnaise came in a separated container, which we didn't add, because we like the way it was and it tasted sweet. My mum like this.

Will I re-order: Yes, but mainly for my mum.

8. Chicken Karaage Set Bento $14, now $10.90

Tender deep fried chicken karaage served with a side salad. Japanese pickles and sushi rice topped with furikake.

Thoughts on this dish: It looks really good and on a whole, it would be a perfect set for a meal. Unfortunately, the chicken was a little too salty and overcooked. 

Will I re-order: No, but I might try out the other Bento Set.
