It's clear what most, if not all, patrons at this Joo Chiat steamboat eatery are here for — the broth. Made from a combination of quality ingredients including chicken and shark bones and boiled for over five hours, the milky-white soup bursts with natural sweetness and is clean-tasting yet flavourful. The Soup Base (from $30) makes a wonderful, lavish base for the steamboat items. Apart from regular meats and greens, they also have several handmade signatures: Pork Dumplings ($5), Fish Kuey Tiao ($5) and Chef's Recipe Squid Ball ($8). This is a favourite among families, and a great place to head to for large extended family meals — service is quick and the food is bound to be a hit with the elders!
Pro tip: There are outlets in Outram and Sembawang too.
Avg price: $30
