*taken with my new phone, Samsung Galaxy S5. Sorry, phone is good, however, the photographer is still no good. haha~* 

This restaurant has been existing for more than 25 years and it is actually in an old, big bungalow. They only serve a pot of clear yummy broth steamboat soup~ It may appear to be an ordinary restaurant to you as most steamboat restaurants nowadays serve either with BBQ grilled pit alongside or they have a combination steamboat pot which could accommodate half clear soup and Tom Yam spicy soup too. So fancy~ 

Their price is also reasonable and the environment is air-conditioned too! You won't feel that warm while having a bowl of hot soup! This restaurant opens only for dinner and it is always jam packed with customers, especially the Japanese! They were enjoying their time there, and you could easily spot them by listening to their talk and laughter. 
Steamboat originates from the Chinese, it is also similar to Japanese Shabu-Shabu. 
Anyway, the Chinese and Japanese have a long history together (go check it out if you would want to know more la). Therefore, it's not strange that a lot of things resemble to the same thing or slightly different, but the idea is there laa~~

The pot to do the steamboat.
In the olden days, ppl used charcoal to boil those soup. But nowadays, a gas is being attached and used to speed up the boiling process of the soup and food.

Seaweed wrapped meat, Mushroom stuffed meat & Beancurd skin with meat filling 

Fish balls, Seafood balls, Crab stick & Squids

First, close the metal lid. Wait for the soup to be boiled. Then, open the lid and place all the ingredients you've got according to the amount you would be able to have at one go. Beware, dumping all the ingredients at one shot and if you couldn't be able to wallop all when it's boiled, I'm afraid your food will be overcooked. Close the metal lid and wait for a few minutes to boil.

White Noodles (Tang Hoon in Hokkien or Glass Noodles in English), Yellow Noodles (I called Boric Acid noodles as the noodles makers use this acid to preserve the noodles and to prevent it from sticking among each other) and Green Spinach Noodle. 

Tadaaaa~ When it's cooked, you'll be able to see the steam coming out from the hollow, middle vent! Then, remove the metal lid and pick your food to eat :-)

Yummy~~Delicious~ Oishi ne~ My bowl of steamboat food & soup!!! *Slurp*

That's all for a bowl of delicious steamboat! You may go for a few rounds too!
