Steamboat or hotpot is famous among families and groups of friends. It’s delicious and comforting food to share with our loved ones. Though it is healthy, you need to eat steamboat right. But many people still don’t know the proper ways of savouring a hot pot. Here are 10 ways to enjoy more at a steamboat restaurant!
1. If you are starving and haven’t eaten anything for the day, do not eat hotpot right away.
Of course, you have to condition your stomach first before pigging out on a delicious meal, especially if you haven’t eaten anything yet. And don’t gobble everything quickly. Take it slow and just let the conversation flow.
2. Book in advance to avoid inconveniences, especially if you come in a large group.
Say, for example, you are ten people in your group, you surely want to have enough space and slots, right? So it’s better if you reserve your seats in advance, and let the staff prepare your steamboat.
3. Avoid drinking too much soda
Aside from the fact that soft drinks can be bad for your health, drinking too much soda can make you feel full instantly and it will keep you from enjoying the meal.
4. Enjoy some fruits when eating steamboat.
Fruits aren’t just healthy, they also help our skin to be clear and more beautiful. So for a healthy hotpot feast, don’t forget to munch on fruits!
5. Avoid slurping very hot soup.
As the name suggests, the soup is “hot”. So be careful when slurping the soup. It can scald your tongue and rough up your taste buds. And did you know that eating steaming hot food can harm your health? There’s a possibility that you’ll get esophageal cancer, according to the studies. Drinking too much soup will also make you feel full, keeping you from enjoying the rest of the meal.
6. Savour the tender and luscious meat.
After eating fruits, rest your tummy for a few minutes and start enjoying the meat! Feast on chicken, pork, lamb, and fish!
7. Take in the goodness of fresh seafood.
One of the best things about hotpot? The fresh, sumptuous seafood! Whether it is shrimp, oyster, lala, or crab, we can’t deny that a steamboat isn’t complete without seafood! Just remember that you shouldn’t add prawn heads to the broth cause the heads add cholesterol. Eating just the body and the tail is better, as these parts contain protein and iron.
8. Have a salad.
To make your steamboat game more nutritious, don’t forget to have a tasty salad! 🙂
9. Rice or noodles? Whichever you prefer, you will surely enjoy the meal!
Who isn’t in love with rice and noodles? A hot pot is not complete without any of these two. They are actually one of the main ingredients that make us burp in satisfaction.
10. Of course, delicious ice cream for dessert!
Let your taste buds scream in happiness with the delectable ice cream!
So there. The next time you go to a steamboat restaurant, you know what to do to enjoy the meal more.
