Have a souper reunion dinner with FairPrice steamboat bases

If there is ever a right time and place for steamboat, it is Chinese New Year, when you can gather kith and kin around to prepare, cook and enjoy the soupy and dynamic concoction.

Steamboat, also known as hotpot, is a good option for those hosting a reunion dinner on the eve of Chinese New Year - the day where families will come together and sit down for a festive meal and mark the start of Chinese New Year.

Cooking a hotpot in the comfort of your own home is a breeze with the Dezhuang Hot Pot Base stocked exclusively at FairPrice. It has six variants to suit all flavour profiles.

The tomato base is made using selected tomatoes from the rural Xinjiang region, with a new vegetarian formula that has lower sugar levels and natural spices.

Meanwhile, the porcini mushroom base utilises wild porcini mushrooms hand-picked from mountains in Yunnan, where the clean air and environment guarantees its freshness and quality.

Spice lovers should not miss out on the spicy base, which is made from Shizhu bright chilli peppers and Sichuan peppercorns for that authentic hot and numbing taste.
