Later got peepur coming, so daddy sayed just cook steamboat. Mummy sayed she will go buyed ingredients to boil the soup, then daddy sayed just use those ready-made, packet chicken broth as the soup base, then donnid so much werk. Moi feeled it's beri low effort and unhealthy lor, nao no appetite at all. So do chiu all boil the soup using fresh ingredients, or also used those ready-made, packet broth? :frown:

We only use homemade porkrib /cabbage/mushroom/pigskin broth. I only tried packet broth at my friend's house. One side packet chicken broth,the other side was packet chicken broth with Tom yam cube. I'm fine with both because I'm not picky about food but my family cannot accept it.

if want save effort use those ready pre pack HDL soup base....not cheap 2 packs for less than $7.

i use it for my steamboat buffet L9..quite good leh..not v salty.

they are in powder form, quite convenient.

if u think too salty then juz put a fraction will do...anyway as more ingredient add along the way, the soup will auto become more salty.

i start with half packet only...
