After one day of Lunar New Year visiting our relatives, my sister generously decided to treat my family to a steamboat dinner at Liang Seah Street (near Bugis Junction). The little eatery offers authentic Chongqing steamboat style which I may not really familiar with. Though I went to Taiwan to eat their mala steamboat there, this Chongqing style is quite different. However at first when I went there, I thought that the food was quite lousy and expensive as it has few varieties to choose from. However, I was totally wrong. There is a split pot which you can order - one side is rich chicken broth soup and the other side is the herba mala or hot spicy soup. The mala soup comes in three degrees of spicyness so be careful what you choose.
Like mentioned, there are 40 food dipping items to choose from, quite little from my opinion. However, what they lacked in quantity, they make up in quality of the food items. The prawns are very fresh and juicy. The meat fillets are finely sliced and marinated to give a good flavour of the meat. There are authentic Chongqing food like handmade wonton, dumplings and noodles.
Overall, a definitely must eat. It is quite reasonably price for the freshness of the food and its service. More-over, the place is air-conditioned so you wouldn't perspire much when you drink the hot spicy mala soup.
