Hotpot Ingredients from Shopee

Here’s a list of the usual hotpot ingredients that we love and found on Shopee that we feel are super value for money! In other words, you’re getting the best quality for the prices stated. Remember to collect daily vouchers to get further discounts or cash back!

  • Kinohimitsu Abalone – choose either braised or not. Either are just as delicious. Comes in a gift pack of two, which is presentable as well.
  • Seaco Pink Leg Prawns – comes frozen and fresh. A must’ve in your hotpot, especially if you’re Cantonese.
  • Seaco Surimi Snow Crab Leg (500g) – did we mention that you can get a bundle of three? You might even want to turn some leftovers into crispy crab stick chips as snacks!
  • Seaco Toman Fish Slice – already sliced so that on hotpot day, all you need to do is defrost and open up the packet. Maybe marinate it with some soy sauce, if you’d like.
  • Steamboat must-haves – all your lobster or fish balls and fish tofu etc. A no-brainer.
  • Beef Shabu Shabu – tried and tested, and this pack from DONKI is definitely one of the best ones we’ve ever had for that price range.
  • Shirobuta (Snow White Pork) Shabu Shabu – the pigs in Hokkaido are definitely fed well as the meats are tender and delicious without any strong odour.
  • Japanese Enoki Mushrooms – these are large packs and they’re delightfully fragrant compared to others.
  • Cabbage or broccoli or cauliflower – at S$2 per head of vegetable, it really is a sweet deal!
  • Beauty Collagen Chicken Soup – perfect soup base that will sure be a crowd pleaser with no additives.
