My mom is still in Singapore and it's Saturday stay-in night with her today because both of us (confession: it was actually just me) were too lazy to get out of the house. *I think she stopped living in denial for a moment and realized that she has a very lazy daughter* Hahaha. I'm sorry mom.
So my mom suggested that we have Steamboat tonight, which means that we got to try out the Karubi Wagyu chips we bought during our grocery shopping the other day. Yay! So much win!
And Steamboat soup base of the night was: Clams
Mom said that it was good for the liver (and apparently it is! Clams are rich in iron, and many other minerals like phosphorus, zinc, potassium and so on. It is also said to reduce levels of cholesterol in both the blood and the liver. Thank you google.), and since I just got out of the hospital, my mom insist that I get my liver "healed".
Other than the clams, there were tofu, seafood balls, crabstick, chinese cabbage and all those other ingredients going around in the background as well. But then, we all know that the star award of the night HAD to go to the amazing beef we had. Duh
Australian Wagyu Karubi Chip
I cannot fully describe in words how glorious the beef was. The texture of the meat was just soooo soft! It melts in your mouth and you don't even have to spend so much time chewing on it. Just less than 10 seconds in the rolling hot steamboat and its good to go. Nomnom. And being the glut I am, I started thinking of all the other awesome versions this meat could become . Like Barbecued with Honey BBQ sauce or grilled with a drizzle of honey until slightly crisped on the edges. Omg omg. . <3 *drools*
Pork Collar
We also picked out Pork Collar slices normally eaten for Shabu shabu. I have to admit that this one was good too. But after tasting the beef, we all know how much attention this pork gets on the table. I'm sorry :(

The magical dipping sauce (before mixing)
MAGICAL DIPPING SAUCE.
Let's not forget the dipping sauce you can never possibly miss for any Steamboat session.
Minced up garlic, spring onions, the magical "Sha Cha Jiang" which we bought from Taiwan, and a good drizzle of soy sauce (there was too little soy sauce in the picture. But you get the idea). BAM.
We do them sauce Taiwanese style. Best.

Cooked up some instant noodle (we obviously needed instant noodles!!) and cracked in an egg. Broke the egg yolk (Yes. Half boiled eggs are the best) and mixed the noodles together with some magical sauce.. Omg. Them goodness in Every. Single. Bite.
I have a very happy tummy today.
