The million dollar question on my lips was how would the new collagen broth at “Beauty In The Pot” measure up to the discontinued shark collagen broth.
Well, my first impression about the replacement (which made its appearance at the end of November 2018) is that it looked and felt just as thick and creamy.
Taste-wise, this concoction which contains compoy, pork trotter, chicken feet, chicken and pork bones, struck me as being slightly more savoury. One thing I also noticed was because of the natural sweetness from the pork, all the vegetables I cooked in here had a nicer flavour. It was most obvious with the baby spinach, one of my must-haves.
Even though we were asked by the staff a few times, we decided not to top up the complimentary soup because I had learned from Burpple Tastemaker @juliuslim that it’s a plain pork bone broth. Definitely a far cry from the collagen-rich version served at the start. You can however, opt to order that at a small cost. Adding on the lighter soup is not a bad thing though because as the collagen broth got reduced from continual simmering, it became much saltier so I guess, if you don’t overdo it, some of the simple broth would have balanced it out.
