Lala81 Hypersonic January 17 Share January 17 (edited) Doing reunion dinner first time for my immediate family. So seeing if got any fresh ideas for hotpot ingredients/sauces etc. No beef as my mum don't take. Cut chilli + soya sauce standard. Anyone tried the iberico pork belly/collar before? Does it really taste better than the generic ones. Bought canadian scallop and hokkaido scallop already. Abalone, Snow crab, Ang Kar prawns pretty standard. I'm working until 4pm, so lot of my prep has to be done beforehand and frozen. Going to make my own chicken base soup.

I'm working until 4pm, so lot of my prep has to be done beforehand and frozen. Going to make my own chicken base soup. Iberico pork belly, yes, nice but a bit too fatty. Try to look for leaner with less fats. I think I bought ready marinated with the Yakiniku sauce in frozen package (Donki). It's cheaper than chilled. Around $8/packet, now not so sure. One packet is only good for 1-2pax, not much. Donki does sell other Yakiniku sauce in a small bottle. The other one(from restaurant) I cant find it off the shelf but I saw it being sold online. It has some garlic taste to it. I like this. No need to brush too much of it onto the meat while grilling. It goes well with white rice. I used a single induction hub and an iron skillet, can do it over the dinner table. Electric grill also can. I am not a big fan of shellfish but you wont go wrong with stir fry chilli. Look for recommended chilli paste you can buy from supermarkets. It's only abalone I prefer it to be poached and slice into thin pieces. You can stir fry with vege like kangkong and chilli also. Prawns are best poached in beer. Soak the prawns in ice water and a bit of sugar a night before. Sugar keeps seafood fresh, dont use salt. I'm looking for ginseng chicken(whole chicken), previously I bought it from cold storage but cant find it anymore. It is all done in a big packet. Just need to put the packet into boiling water. Forgot to take picture. Maybe can find it at the Woodlands Terrace factory/warehouse. Previously bought some there like kong bah pao, the kong bah and mei chai is very nice.

This one apparently is the old Nanyang ppl who work in south east asia, then they wanna eat satay sauce, but don't have the correct ingredient of smth, then they derive their own sauce. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shacha_sauce Interesting hor? hahaha. History lesson when you eat smth new also. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u got the time go to redhill market look for stall that sells ikan parang fish meat. you can mould it to balls/cakes urself or pre-order from the stall to make into balls for you. They are good in the fridge for up to 3 days so u can buy in advance. They also have ikan parang filet strips (boneless) which u can just cut into smaller pieces and cook in the steamboat. much nicer than those fishballs you find outside. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikan parang only those big markets fishmongers have. My fishmonger stall is a small neighbourhood one. Fish. I was just thinking normal grouper or what. That one have to see what my fishmonger has.

Kxbc Turbocharged January 17 Share January 17 i like both pork belly and collar meat but for older people, collar is less fatty which might be better. i like the frozen shabu shabu pork from donki. soup base can buy those frozen collagen ones from donki (but i never try before). i think quality should be ok. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iberico pork is more soft. I will pick this. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
