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.
Fresh White Fish Slices (200 grams)
Chicken Shabu (200 grams)
Pork Belly Shabu (200 grams)
Pork Collar Shabu (200 grams)
Chicken Sausage (200 grams)
Egg Tofu (100 grams)
Thoughts: The meats were nicely packed and were quite fresh. The pork belly were of a nice thick cut, the pork collar were firm.
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)
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!
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.
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.
