Inspired by Omotenashi, or the world-renowned Japanese hospitality, Tsukada Nojo is highly reputed for its nourishing beauty collagen pot or bijin nabe.

More importantly, it also comes with a set of disposable heating equipment (disposable pot and fuel) that you can discard immediately after you’re done with your meal.

Qi Xiang Chicken Hot Pot
Perhaps the most unconventional hotpot choice in this list, Qi Xiang Chicken Pot is known to have its broth infused with beer, resulting in a soup base that is roasted charcoal black in colour.

You can easily chalk up $60 on an order for 2 to 3 pax. Unlike other hotpot restaurants, raw steamboat dishes are pretty limited here.

Steamboat Delivery Gaining Popularity in Singapore
With less than a month to go before Chinese New Year, demand for steamboat delivery services is heating up.
At least five businesses here, including restaurants Hai Di Lao and The Soup Spoon, are offering home delivery of soup stock and prepared ingredients such as fresh vegetables, meat and seafood. Most companies also provide a pot and stove for a fee.
Steamboat, or food cooked communally in simmering broth, is commonly eaten in the lead-up to and during Chinese New Year, which falls on 10 February 2024 this year.
Consumers who opt for the packages said the steamboat delivery services mean not having to jostle with crowds in markets or fight for a table at restaurants.
At Chinese hot pot restaurant Hai Di Lao, which first started offering hot pot delivery services in 2015, a 4 pax set costs $268. But it is not making deliveries on the eve or the first day of Chinese New Year, as its outlets will be closed.
Convenience is not the only perk. Being able to order a specific portion means customers do not have to worry about buying too much food, said a spokesman for Reunion Steamboat.
"For example, scallops are usually sold in 1kg packs, so you will have to buy a whole pack whether you can finish it or not."
Housewife Rena Tan, once ordered a $168 set for 10 people from The Steamboat Specialist in 2017 for Chinese New Year. It included two packs of scallops and two boxes of prawns. She plans to order another set for the second day of Chinese New Year.
"I found the prices quite reasonable," said Madam Tan, who would otherwise spend about three days to prepare food for her family's reunion steamboat meal.
"Usually I can't estimate how much food is needed and I end up with a lot of wastage, so this is good for me."
