Ili Sulaiman’s love for Steamboat (also known as Hot Pot) is drawn from her Chinese heritage. Born to an English-Chinese mother and a Sri Lankan-Malay father, Ili was immersed in a mesh of cultures since birth. Just like most Malaysians, Ili grew up with weekends filled with family gatherings over a meal or two. “Food has been the consistent thing for me since I was young. I was always in the kitchen with my grandmothers,” said Ili. Her family would often opt for a home-cooked meal in the comfort of their home that involves the dipping, gentle blowing and slurping on thin slices of meat, noodles, vegetables and fresh seafood in a steaming hot pot of delicious broth with an array of dipping sauces.

 

What does Ili love most about Steamboat, you ask?

“It’s the conversations around the table whilst waiting for your soup to bubble up… the fussing about who gets the last fish ball, and the fact that everyone plays a part in making the thick broth taste so good, right up to the end of the meal.” said Ili. Everyone has a role to play in this and it’s all about having fun together.

 

Why now?

Like many Malaysians who pined for family and friends near and far over the recent lockdown, Ili truly misses her family and their steamboat sessions at home. So, when two friends, Chun Yew and Jason, planted the idea of creating a ‘Ili Sulaiman style’ steamboat business, she said “Why not?”. After months of researching, building the business plan and testing out recipes… Ili Pot was born: a Halal, Grill and Steamboat Delivery Service. Cause let’s face it, we Malaysians love coming together and eating!
