Several of the soup bases that diners can choose include the iconic Sichuan spicy mala, earthy Wild Mushroom, refreshing Tomato and the signature Pork Bone Clear Broth. The latter is made from boiling pork bones, chicken feet and angelica root for a minimum of 10 hours with additions of rock sugar and salt for flavouring. Out of the four, my favourite has got to be the Tomato broth, which consists of the pork bone broth as a base and it’s being mixed in with a tomato paste that is created with fresh tomatoes, onions and garlic. Each soup base costs $17 while of a choice of 2 amounts to $24.

With such effort and passion that goes into making each soup base, you can be rest assured that they will not scrimp on the quality of the hotpot ingredients as well. To go alongside the broths, you can expect meat like the Angus Oysterblade ($22) and U.S. Short Rib ($22) from Huber’s Butchery and Iberico Pork Jowl ($12) and Collar ($12) from Iberian Bellota of Campovilla. Besides the cuts, you definitely have to order the Handmade Pork Balls ($12) and Handmade Prawn Paste ($14) which are excellent in their own rights.
