Teochew Traditional Seafood Steamboat is a Chinese restaurant at 176 Joo Chiat Rd, Joo Chiat, Singapore, and its name points to seafood steamboat. It holds a 4.3 Google rating from 433 reviews.
Steamboat is a shared meal built around a pot of simmering broth, with raw ingredients cooked at the table. In the Teochew style, the broth is usually light and clean, so the freshness of the seafood and vegetables carries the meal. When you sit down, order the seafood first, then add vegetables, tofu and noodles in stages so nothing overcooks while you wait. Cook delicate items briefly, and use the dipping sauces to add flavour rather than masking the broth. Steamboat suits groups, so go with three or four people if you can, and book ahead at weekends, when the room fills quickly. Regulars also tell the server about any shellfish allergy before ordering, as the broth is shared by everything cooked in it.
For anyone eating along Joo Chiat Road, this is a well-reviewed place for a shared steamboat dinner.
