Combine today's hectic lifestyles with the knack for food of the Malaysian population, then steamboat snacks are a sure thing on the list of most favourite snacks, ....miles ahead of Ronald McD, Uncle KFC,....
Inventive hawkers sell their food truly the mobile way. Parking their converted vans where crowds converge (street markets, festivals, concerts, sports games...you name it, they are there).
So what is steamboat food then? Basically, it's boiling pots of chicken broth in which the customer can boil their choice of snacks, all kinds of meat, pre-cooked or raw.......all DIY style...just grab the delicacies which are pierced on satay sticks, jettison it in the broth et voila....
Dip it into some sauce, ....chili, soya, you name it, they have it.

Apart from the boiling broth, this dude has even installed an oven to grill meat if the customers fancy something else than boiled food :p
And paying? No probs, the satay sticks are colour coded, each different colour denouncing a different price....
The good hawker vendor just does his quick math and for a small fee you're settled for dinner....
