Right after Christmas, the familiar tunes of Chinese New Year have started playing in malls and stores islandwide. This signals the approach of steamboat reunion dinners and overnight mahjong sessions with your loved ones. This year, FairPrice has everything you will need for your warm hotpot reunions!
Hotpot Ingredients For Your Steamboat Reunion
From vegetables to different protein options, FairPrice has you covered this Lunar New Year!
Truffle Prawn Paste
If you’re someone who orders prawn paste each time during your HDL/BITP supper sessions, or loves truffle, the Truffle Prawn Paste ($5.95, 130g) might just be your favourite item this CNY! Made from real prawns imbued with aromatic truffle, this would go well with a deep pork bone broth or maybe some clear seafood broth.
1CHI-YO Superior Pork/Chicken Collagen Broth
Speaking of broths, you can easily get quality broth from Fairprice as well! The 1CHI-YO Superior Collagen broth ($6, 250g) is made by simmering premium ingredients for 8 hours. There is no additional MSG, preservatives, artificial flavouring or colouring in this.
Apart from using this to make your steamboat broth, you can use it to make stews, noodles or even a delicious bowl of porridge.
Ready-to-Cook Vegetable Set
We love warm steamboat sessions; however, the preparation might be time-consuming especially for those who are juggling between work, kids, or other commitments! With the Ready-to-Cook Vegetable Set ($3.95), you can simply throw them into the pot and enjoy a variety of greens and mushrooms.
This is also a great option for small families who want to minimize food wastage!
Steamboat Soup Base
Coming in three different flavours: Mushroom, Tomato, and Spicy Mala, the Chuan Heng Bee Steamboat Soup Base is your go-to for an easy and quick fix. There’s the authentic Sichuan-style spicy broth for the spice-loving family and Mushroom/Tomato for those who want to go easy on their stomachs.
Jinjja Chicken Korean Eomuk Fishcake
A newly launched line of products by Jinjja Chicken, you can now enjoy the popular Korean street food snack whenever you like! The Korean Eomuk Fishcake ($5.80, 310g) comes in two versions, a flat fishcake, and a fishcake bar.
Just imagine dunking this in a bowl of spicy mala, you’ll get the best of both worlds!
Kin Yan Fresh Pink Oyster Mushroom
We never thought we would describe a mushroom as pretty, but the shade of pink from the Kin Yan Pink Oyster Mushroom ($2.95, 130g) looks too dreamy! The flesh of this mushroom is bouncy and tender with a taste that’s meaty and packs a punch.
Other ingredients also include the Botak Farmer Peanut Sprout ($2.85, 120g) which is packed with proteins and vitamins with a unique nutty flavour. When it comes to steamboat, you can’t leave out the meat! FairPrice has Pork Iberico Belly Slice ($11.90, 250g) and a new, limited time only Frozen Beef Ribeye Shabu Shabu ($8.80, 200g).
FairPrice CNY Must-Haves
During your gathering, one thing that always appears on our IG stories is Yusheng! FairPrice has a Harvest Prosperity Yu Sheng ($12.80, 500g) that shoppers can DIY at home with their choice of fresh and frozen products.
After your intense Mahjong sessions, you can also reach out for the Kinohimitsu Bird’s Nest – Snow Lotus ($49.90/box) for that boost of antioxidants which is great for anti-aging.
Apart from these, you can also find your CNY essentials like abalones and mandarin oranges.
