Steambox brought back the gold of old. The traditional way of steam-cooking but with a twist of modernity. Friends gather over a pot of boiling soup while juice-dripping meat and vegetables are steamed above with a lid in between. You will be ingesting good nutritional food despite it being supper time!

Step 1: Choose Your Soup Base
-Pork Rib Lotus Root($18)
-Chicken Herbal Collagen($25)
-Base of Seafood($28)

We chose the chicken herbal collagen soup base. (So when the steam arises, am I getting a collagen facial? -It's just a joke)

Step 2: A Holey Lid

Step 3: Start Steaming Your Food
Let all the juicy good stuff drip through into your pot and make some magic to your soup. Take a big gulp of soup before you leave the place. Leave fully satisfied. This is indeed like mookata but way healthier.

Try their Instagrammable Chef's Specialty Marinated Beef ($10) and Chef's Sliced Fish ($9.80). These new meat flower rings are marinated in salt and osmanthus.

XO Sauce Rice Roll ($6.80 for two)
A Savoury Hong-Kong style 'Chang Fen' with sweet scallops, shrimps, chilli, radish filling and special home-made XO sauce.

Chef's Specialty Paper-wrapped Mala Groupe Fillet ($19.80)
This is the healthier version of traditional fried fish. In fact, a full flavour fish despite being steamed. The flavour is quite strong, a herbal and mild numbing taste. Either you love it or you hate it. It is spicy but manageable for people who can't take spicy food. A true satisfaction in one bite.

On the menu, you will see instruction such as, "steam for 6 mins" and etc.
Follow the instruction and set the timer according to your dish indication on your table. The friendly staff will help you manage the timing of the cooking (whenever they can). Don't worry about eating raw or uncooked food just because you are cooking it.
