Steamboat, also known as "hot pot" is a beloved communal dining experience that brings friends and family together around a bubbling pot. This eating tradition has its roots in Chinese cuisine but has been lovingly embraced and adapted in Malaysia.
Steamboat has a lot of broth selection, ranging from clear and mild to spicy and fiery. Common choices include a clear chicken or pork broth, a fiery tom yam broth, or even a rich and savoury herbal broth.
Diners select an assortment of fresh ingredients such as thinly sliced meats (beef, chicken, or seafood), an array of vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, and various fish balls. These ingredients are then cooked in the communal pot, everyone throws in their favourite food and cooks to their desired level of doneness.
What makes Malaysian steamboat particularly unique is the variety of dipping sauces that accompany the meal. From the classic peanut sauce to tangy and spicy sambal, diners can customize their sauces to match their taste preferences.
The dining process encourages a leisurely pace. It is a time to socialise, has conversations, enjoy food and best with some wine.
The experience of a Malaysian-style steamboat is not just about the delicious food; it's about the shared experience, the laughter, and the joy of cooking and eating together. It's a delightful way to bond with loved ones over a steaming pot of goodness.
