Hotpot isn't just for LNY!

Seriously one of the best seafood soups I've ever tasted. Rich, flavourful, full of umami, and sweet from the seafood, this was everything I ever wanted in a hotpot soup. Even better, it's filled with big prawns (4 of them!), 2 half-shell scallops, lala, baby squid, and more chunks of scallop, alongside handfuls of napa cabbage. Seriously, the claypot came filled to the brim. You can also pick more ingredients to add so we got additional veges and beancurd skin. Don't forget the homemade chilli too - it seriously packs a punch!

The stall also offers lok lok ($1/stick) and how could I resist grilled meat and mushrooms? You get the experience of having the charcoal grill at your table to grill it yourself with the provided butter and yakiniku sauce. Do note that the minimum order for loklok is $10 though!

Right now they're having a promotion - the seafood hotpot I mentioned above is only going for $19.90 which is an absolute steal! Also, the pork skewers are going at only 50cents/stick! Head over now before the promo ends!!

In total, we spent $37.90 for all the food items which I thought was such a value-for-money price considering the quality of the soup. Plus, it's refillable too! The only downside is that the charcoal stink will get on your entire self so remember not to plan any activities after!

What we ordered:
- Live Seabass ($42.80)
- Collagen Fish Soup ($18)
- Assorted Meat Platter ($28.80)
- Assorted Vege Platter Small ($13.80)
- Scallion Rice ($3)
- Condiment ($3/pax)

Seabass was pretty big and probably a decent portion for 2~3 pax. Fresh and meaty. Collagen soup was delicious, but we thought that it would be thicker (our basis was BITP's collagen soup). Meat platter was pretty generous in their portions, and we added the condiment bar specifically for the meats. Otherwise, wouldn't have done so; besides the condiments there are fruits and tauhuey too (not as wide ranging as HDL's condiment bar). Vege platter was really a small portion, for 3 people I would choose the large size. Lastly, scallion rice was pretty good but skippable.

Overall, we spend $137 for a filling meal for 3 pax, but this was also because we had a bowl of noodles on the house after I told them that this was a birthday celebration. The space was very well-lit and had a pretty modern design, though it was pretty squeezy in some areas. The stonepot was the main highlight and worth experiencing at least one time.

Wanted to use the Burpple 1-for-1s here but saw that they had a 20% off promotion for the month of June in celebration of their 16th anniversary.

Their laksa broth is certainly not the rich and lemak kind you would expect from a true blue laksa store, but it's certainly spicy and coconutty enough that you can drink it as a soup without feeling jelat or like you just wrecked your digestive system. Nothing to shout about for the meat and vegetables, but I would recommend the meatball platter as the balls were meaty and delicious. Definitely give this a try.

Came here for the Dining City Restaurant Week $28 lunch set, but turns out it was just the usual business lunch set for 2 at the same price. Disappointing 😞 Ambience was nice with dim lighting and elegant wooden furniture, but seats felt hard and uncomfortable. Helped ourselves to the tissue (both dry and wet) and toothpicks and there was even a power socket / USB port to charge our phones 👌🏻

On to the food. Had the Fresh Mushroom Soup and the Taiwanese Style Spicy Soup (just a spicy mushroom soup) and both were good and chockful of ingredients. There was even a small pig trotter in the Taiwan style soup! Chose the Sliced Pork Collar and Boneless Drumstick which were of good quality but ultimately the 90g portions were small. Even the vegetable platter was just one basket of veges to share between us. Even Shi Li Fang gives more food for a third of the price.

The set came with a mug of tea each but we could only choose from Da Hong Pao and Pu Er. Milk and toppings or other tea flavours chargeable 👎 Free flow lu Rou fan was great though, as is the sauce bar. Fruits and ice cream was also good. Ice cream was the usual Mingo cup (from HDL and SLF) but a more atas version. Palate cleanser was a nice pineapple slushie but only one per pax.

Was it quality? Yes. Was the service good? Yea. Did I feel satiated after? Definitely. Was it worth the price? Meh...wouldn't return. Would rather go to HDL for the price point or even just SLF if I wanted hotpot that was worth.

Always love SLF for their fuss-free and affordable hotpot sets (starting from $9.90). Don't care much for the toys but I know they're pretty popular too! Their tomyum and tomato soups are pretty legit, and their sets are also pretty filling for 1pax.
Their Harbourfront outlet seems to be running a promo where their freeflow drinks+condiments+ice cream is only an additional $1/pax. What a steal!

Used the Burpple 1 for 1 set. Staff recommended the UOB 1 for 1 deal too as that one included drinks in the 1 for 1 too, but we sadly didn't have the card. Soup wise, we loved the Fish Soup with Milk, and didn't really like the Tom yum and tomato. The signature Fish Maw Fish Soup was also lacklustre. Free flow sauce bar was amazing the service was also friendly and attentive.

Went during the opening promo and got the White Curry and the Collagen soup. Was a hearty meal with lots of ingredients, broth tasted good, but not sure if would return when usual price.
