Have a souper reunion dinner with FairPrice steamboat bases
Check out the different steamboat bases at FairPrice that will satisfy everyone, from spice lovers to fans of mushrooms
If there is ever a right time and place for steamboat, it is Chinese New Year, when you can gather kith and kin around to prepare, cook and enjoy the soupy and dynamic concoction.
Steamboat, also known as hotpot, is a good option for those hosting a reunion dinner on the eve of Chinese New Year - the day where families will come together and sit down for a festive meal and mark the start of Chinese New Year.
Cooking a hotpot in the comfort of your own home is a breeze with the Dezhuang Hot Pot Base stocked exclusively at FairPrice. It has six variants to suit all flavour profiles.
The tomato base is made using selected tomatoes from the rural Xinjiang region, with a new vegetarian formula that has lower sugar levels and natural spices.
Meanwhile, the porcini mushroom base utilises wild porcini mushrooms hand-picked from mountains in Yunnan, where the clean air and environment guarantees its freshness and quality.
Spice lovers should not miss out on the spicy base, which is made from Shizhu bright chilli peppers and Sichuan peppercorns for that authentic hot and numbing taste.
Its recipe strictly follows secret traditional techniques, ensuring that you will have a true Chongqing culinary experience.
HAIDILAO
Also available at FairPrice outlets is the Haidilao Assorted Hotpot Seasoning, catering to those who cannot get enough of the famous Chinese hotpot chain's soup bases.
Make sure to toss in some veggies for the right dose of nutrients and fibre, such as Baby Wongbok, Chef Shiitake Mushrooms and Hokto White Shimeji Mushrooms, for a chewy yet supple texture that contrasts with other meat ingredients in your steamboat.
You can also treat your guests to a premium seafood and meat-friendly feast with fresh and frozen foods like Fukuyama Hokkaido Scallops, Dodo CNY Prawn Seafood Balls and Chef's Pork Iberico Collar Shabu Shabu.
For a finishing touch, you could include New Moon's Razor Clams and Max's Fish Maw for a well-rounded, satisfying and delicious meal that meets everyone's must-haves.
