your context of regular steamboat may not apply here because this is literally a steam pot. and none is a better testament of how fresh a seafood is than to plain steam it. like we were not convinced when the chooped crustacean was still moving on the plate before steaming. anyway, the roe sweetness was so clearly pronounced that my eyes rolled and toes curled. it was just purely organic orgasmic without any other condiments.
but take a moment to imagine all these essence of seafood goodness that we ordered (flower crab, deep sea prawns, red grouper), sauce of marinated chicken and finally the chicken oil of its own flowing down below the steam plate as they steam to cook up something even more hearty, even more orgasmic. aww, later that view that greeted me when the plate was lifted up....
