A Choo Choo Steamboat

I like to have steamboat on cold rainy days ^.^ ,we don't have winter here in Malaysia so cold rainy days have to make do as a replacement with the additional rain but oh well.

 Steamboat is almost similar to a hotpot,or maybe it is,I don't know about the different terms used in different countries but I do know that Koreans have something similar which are hotpots!~ 

People usually share a large pot of yummy broth and just let the food simmer in the pot till it is cook. The stuff are pretty standard for a Malaysian steamboat : variety of meat and fish balls,vegetables,noodles, beef,chicken or pork slices and seafood. But nowadays due to hygienic purposes or for those who are allergic to sharing,there is an alternative : individual hotpots!

These individual steamboat pots are becoming very popular among us Malaysians as its easier to choose the ingredients according to personal taste.

The place where I had the steamboat!Pictures just for fun.

The pots are mostly powered using induction stoves at the bottom instead of the traditional gas stoves that is still use at those steamboat joints that caters to big crowds that shares a big pot.

I usually have the tomyum or curry broth instead of the clear or herbal broth. I like it spicy and hot to warm the tummy.

Beef set that came with beef balls and beef slices and assorted noodles and stuff.
