All you can Eat

In Chinatown, 57 Temple Street. Only serves QingDao beer (which isn’t half bad).

S$15.80 per person for steamboat with “over 50″ dishes. We didn’t count them, so I don’t rightly know, but there was plenty. We took half a pot of chicken soup and half a pot of ma la, the latter, definitely not for the fainthearted, or the gweilo palate.

The helpings were generous, and the beef, fish, and chicken sliced correctly (v., v., thinly).

It feels like old school Chinatown in there, bare walls save for a printout quoting Mao Zedong on the evils of waste, and tinny Chinese radio. The only other customers also looked like they’d arrived from the People’s Republic.

XiaoPing’s greatest point of distinction is the sauce concoction they offer. Add desired amounts of sesame oil, soya sauce, and garlic to a bowl of stuff they provide. End result tastes like the peanut gravy that goes with satay, absolutely amazing with the steamboat food.

+65 62260889.
Oh yes, do be warned: the owner doesn’t seem to speak much besides Chinese.

Here are some links that I believe will be interested
