I just had my dinner at Old Airport Road Hawker Centre. Going there was very convenient. It’s in between Dakota and Mountbatten MRTs only. There are varieties of cuisines to choose from. Since, I’m on diet; I decided to eat at 132 Mini Steamboat.
steamboat
"South East Asia An implement for cooking at the table consisting of an annular vessel containing cooking liquor (stock) around a circular chimney at the base of which is a source of heat. Prepared food is cooked by diners using fondue forks, chop sticks or wire mesh baskets. Various dips are usually supplied and the stock is often consumed after all the solid food has been cooked and eaten. "

For $5, you can have this set of chicken, sausage, crab sticks, mushrooms, egg and leafy veggies (I'm not a veggie lover so I skip to know the name of the greens.)
This is why It's called a mini steamboat. You will only have a cute cooking pot, and mind you no cooking skill is required because the stock has the flavor already. You can choose from original or tom yam soup.
You have to add all the ingredients into the pot before the fire dies out. It will take around 5-10 minutes to cook it. The egg will be the last one that you should add. Let it boil then your mini steamboat is ready to eat.
The steamboat is now ready. You can opt to eat it with a rice and chili sauce or the steamboat alone.
