Steam Boating 101

 Some of you may have never had steam boat before and I realise that we are fast approaching summer (although the weather may not seem like it at present -- and steam boat (hot pot) is not the best in summer.. because for obvious reason - it's hot!) but I feel as though everyone should prepare themselves so next winter you can all visit places like Dragon Seafood Restaurant on James st. Northbridge or Korean Cafe Restaurant on Francis st. Northbridge or Nanikijup in Victoria Park for their Steam Boats.

SOOOOO let me welcome you to.....

STEAM BOATING 101
1. Here is the stove. The waiter is asking us what soup kind of soup we would like to cook our food in. (There's about a choice of like 5/6 but my favourite is satay or the chicken original!.. you can split the soup in two.. most of the time depending on the restaurant that you go to!)

2. In the middle/corner of the restaurant there is an  all you can eat/cook/take table which has LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of seafood, dumplings, fish balls, wontons, vegies etc. Just make sure you cook and eat everything that you take! (they charge extra for any uneaten things!) - IF this place is ALL YOU CAN EAT if it is a set hot pot - then they will bring what you ordered to your table.

3. COOK YOUR FOOD BY PUTTING IT IN THE BOILING SOUP! =D

4. How do you know that it's Cooked? Look for colour changes. Dumplings and wontons when done floats to the top. And if you not sure take it to your bowl. inspect. if not done throw it back in!

5. EAT! =D

NOTES:

a. PLEASE grab the metal spoon scooping thingo thats to help you grab your cooked meal! and DO NOT steal other peoples spoon scooping thing! it's rather annoying! >_<":
b. try to separate your cooking chopsticks with your eating chopsticks, unless of course you want to eat the raw juices with your cooked juices.. i know i don't!! and stack of your used dishes so the waiters and collect it up and makes your table all neat and tidy!

This ends the Steam Boating 101 class

Now go and eat and have fun doing it! ^_^
