Fish Head Steamboat On Deck
Singapore
One of life’s simple pleasures is putting on your favorite sweater on a cold rainy day and going down to your local eatery and having a nice warm bowl of Fish Head Steamboat. The Singaporean classic has gone through a whole lot of makeovers—from the older charcoal-powered pots to the newer electric table top cookers. Some people prefer the original’s smokey zing that you can’t get with modern boilers, but others love the convenience of a quick hotpot. Either way, these places boil the best of the best so bring a bib and slurp these yummy Steamboats in Singapore!
2Xin Yuan Ji’s broth never once lets up its sweet and savory flavors. You can order as many broth refills as you like without having to worry about diminishing returns.
