I used to think steamboat used to only soup involve a pot of boiling water, with additional ingredients like fish, meat, seafood, fishballs and vegetables thrown in to slowly flavour the soup. Nowadays though, to increase the intensity of the flavours and to add a bit more umami, a few spoonfuls of chicken stock are added to the soup base as well. I also realised that some places even provide a vegetarian steamboat option, perfect for those who want to enjoy steamboat but do not eat meat or seafood.

The wait time is usually minimal, especially if you make a reservation in advance. The value for money is reasonable, considering the quality of the food and the level of service. I highly recommend COCA @ Takashimaya S.C. for a fantastic hot pot experience.
