CNY 2021: 7 steamboat delivery options you’ll love

Who doesn’t enjoy a good meal (not to mention top-notch service) at Hai Di Lao? While it’s not possible to hire someone to do the noodle dance in your home, you still can have their yummy steamboat, thanks to their delivery service.

Price: $368 for 8 pax (Set D). A delivery fee of $20 applies as well.

What’s included: It looks like cooker rental is still not available (the website hasn’t been updated since circuit breaker) so you’ll have to prepare your own. However, you can get the best of HDL classics like their tomato soup, Sichuan spicy soup, and signature shrimpwah, among others. There’s even alcohol to order, if you prefer.

Order here. Tel: 6509 4111 (313 Somerset outlet).

Having been around for more than 35 years, Mr Steamboat certainly knows what they’re doing. Apart from their wide range of food options to choose from, they also sell the necessary items like a gas cooker and yuan-yang pot, which is great for new homeowners who don’t have these items yet. Think of all the future steamboat gatherings you’ll be able to host!

Price: $208 for 6 pax. An additional surcharge of $30 for CNY period applies. The cooker and pot are sold separately from their a la carte menu.

What’s included: Three choices of premium meat, one boiled soup base, seafood including fresh tiger prawns and cuttlefish, abalone, and the rest of the usual steamboat fare.
