Club 30 Reloaded: Steamboat w/ Table BBQ & Dim Sum

Our furry Ferret wanted a steamboat outing at Marina South. She didn't join us for the Fishhead Steamboat outing because.....uhmmmm....Fishhead is too disgusting?? Scary?? *shrugs*

A good quote from 'No Reservations by Anthony Bourdain' as pointed out by Bear:

"There are no "good" and "bad" ingredients in China. THere are the easy - usually expensive - ingredients. And then there's the real stuff - the stuff where it took maybe a few centuries of trial and error to figure out how to make it good or discover what was good about it all along. Great French chefs know, for instance, that the fish's head is the best part. But they would seldom dare to serve it. In French restaurants in the US, they literally can't give it away. In China, cooks take it for granted that you will prefer the head. Who wouldn't? Chinese cooks and chefs are used to preparing food for customers who know what the fuck they're eating: what's good, where it's good, and when it's good... "

Anyway, I had to skip this outing as I had to go out with Mr Pinky Bear

Wait! This is not the end yet! Our brave Gluttons decide that after the trip to Sentosa, they should carry on eating!! They ended up at this Taiwanese eatery next to the Cheese Prata shop at Fong Seng. I understand from them that it is not very good and not recommended at all but you can still enjoy the pictures
