Chuan Yi Pin, Singapore

We've been going through a wet few days - evenings mostly cold and rainy... perfect for steamboat! So the plan was to check out one of those steamboat places along Liang Seah street at Bugis. Walked past Chuan Yi Pin, and the smell of the sizzling BBQ was just too good to ignore. 

By Singapore standards, some would call this place a horrifying and crummy hole in the wall. Think of street food stall in Bangkok or something and you'll be fine (; 

It was quite a long queue for Friday night - no need to wait if you're having just steamboat but at least half an hour queue if you're having both steamboat and BBQ. It's the same price regardless ($23.80 for adults on weekends). 

Cooked food 

What I found interesting was that their selection of cooked food was mostly Szechuan appetisers - pickled trotter, tripe, and other offals.

 Balls, anyone?

 More steamboat stuff 

 Seafood and marinated meat

 Seafood!

 Round 1 (:

 Thinly sliced pork

Thinly sliced beef

BBQ-ed mantou (:

Charred goodness

They had a very good selection..there was a guy behind a meat slicer slicing away meat to order - pork, mutton or beef. We ended up BBQ-ing most food though, and had very little steamboat. 

Be prepared to sweat and smell like what you're eating (: A friend once said if you go back and soak your hair in some water, you would make a broth out of it....

Psst... make reservations beforehand!
