City Hot Pot Shabu Shabu (One Raffles Place)

Enjoyed the wagyu beef set ($49.99) and the pork collar (not pictured) ordered using Burpple Beyond, with the tang hoon. I didn’t count, but I think it was at least eight pieces of wagyu beef and pork collar each? Meat was tender. There was a decent spread of veggies, mushroom, beancurd items. The mala soup base is tasty and spicy. In contrast, the herbal chicken soup base was flat and bitter. Was hungry before dinner and usually eat big portions, but struggled to finish this! Friend had the bak kut teh soup base, which is extremely peppery, and enjoyed the sour tom yum soup base.

Don’t think I’d order the wagyu beef set again without 1-for-1 as $49.99 is quite steep. But worth coming back for their more affordable sets.

Recommend the ba gu teh soup! The meat are fresh and portion is generous!

$49++ for an ala carte steamboat set seemed steep but kudos to burpplebeyond the price’s slashed to half for 2 pax. I really liked the colourful vegetable basket but the pale soup bases here and mediocre protein were minuses of the equation.

I love the food - quality of soup bases, ingredients, and sauces were superb.

Lu rou fan was good - only thing for improvement was that the rice could have been less soft. It was a little too mushy for my liking.

However, people with big appetites need to take note. The amount of food is quite little - my friend and I felt only half-full after finishing everything. We overheard 2 girls beside us saying “omggg it’s so filling we can’t even finish the veggies” lmao wanted to ask them donate the veggies to us hahaha. Jk.

Had the 4 pax set meal and there were a lot of varieties! Very worth the price. Tried the kimchi, fish soup and tomato soup and the kimchi soup was the best. The taro soup is really tasteless.

Fresh vegetables, delicious meats and nice service. Set was a good value with the Burpple beyond.
