For frog leg fans who like things spicy, locally-owned @longqingsingapore’s “Wok-fried Spicy Bullfrog Legs” offers the best of both worlds. They use fresh frogs, “mala” spices, and throw in potato, prawn paste, tofu and black fungus to round it up into a one-dish meal. GL really good with a bowl of plain rice.
First time its a surprise meal from @singaporeliciouz, and I really enjoyed, so decided to order again.
The frog are fresh, fleshy (aka a lot of meat), cooked with mala spices, spicy but the numbness is not overwhelming after eating it. Basically its really shiok.
💰$30 for 2 pax or $56 for 4 pax.

This to me was the ultimate prawn noodles, on many levels - the broth, the crustacean (Langoustine), the meat (Iberico Pork Jowl); and the noodles (Japanese Somen).
🔸
The broth was first fried with lots of prawn heads, under high intense heat, then mixed with the pork bone broth and cooked with szechuan chilli, fresh chilli, onions and belachan, so it's spicy and very prawny.
🔸
And the langoustine, an ingredient that just screams luxury, more usually found at Fine-dining restaurants. Longqing uses wild-caught Mozambique Langoustine, whch is more tender, and has a stronger crustacean flavour.
🔸
Longqing don't sell it on its own. But here's how to make a few bowls of these when you have steamboat there:
1. Order the spiced prawn soup as the steamboat base ($17).
2. Get the Langoustine ($9.80 each, min two pieces per order).
3. Cook some Iberico Pork Collar ($30), or Iberico Pork Jowl ($18), or just standard pork collar ($12);
4. Have it with Tang-O pictured ($7.80), or other vegetables ($5.80 onwards).
5. Choose your noodles ($1.50 onwards, Japanese Somen pictured).
🔸
This way, besides a hearty steamboat meal with friends and family, you get this bowl of awesome prawn noodles too.

Thanks owner @bigj_james for the treat!

I visit other steamboat places regularly too, including Hai Di Lao monthly which is near my home. But I feel Longqing serves the best soup base, including their mala which has a more complex herbiness to it compared to the more single-dimensional mala at HDL (which I felt was just spicy).
🔸
Being a friend of Longqing's owner James, @bigj_james, I've also tried all other soup base they serve - lotus root and lily bulb, pork bone clear broth, tomato soup, wild mushroom, and shark's fin melon herbal soup, and I found them to be thick and deep in flavours, and has none of the artificial flavourings.
🔸
I also found they have several gems that you should order - Japanese flying squid ($16), handmade pork balls and fish paste ($12), and pig stomach ($9), just to name a few of my favourites.

Jot this classy steamboat place down for your next snazzy date night. Choose from their selection of au naturale soup bases — we recommend the Wild Mushroom ($17) and Spicy Ma La ($17). Great for dousing in broths are the Handmade Fish Paste ($12), Handmade Prawn Paste ($14), the tender Premium U.S. Short Rib ($22) and the addictive Crispy Beancurd Skin Roll ($6.80). Wash it down with their herbal tea specially imported from China.

Pretty good hotpot place with fresh and good variety of ingredients. Including quite a fair bit of fish and seafood selection! Their deep fried beancurd roll is amazing too, retaining that bit of crunch after a 3-5sec soak in the bubbling hot broth. Meat were thinly sliced and aren’t too fatty either. One of their to go for broth is definitely the mushroom base! Not overly thick but fragrant and flavorful enough. Mushroom broth seems to be the upcoming trend too! Price is decent with the kind of quality guaranteed.
Wishlist this elegant hot pot joint for a romantic rendezvous! Ingredients are aplenty and fresh – we recommend the Handmade Fish Paste ($12) and the addictive Crispy Beancurd Skin Roll ($6.80). Pick from a myriad of soup bases, from Wild Mushroom to Spicy Ma La ($17 each), which are 1-for-1 here!

This elegant joint along Hong Kong Street sees the perfect setting for an intimate dinner, or a spicy hot date. If you're dining for two, we'd recommend ordering their rich wild mushroom and tongue-numbing mala soup bases ($17 each) to share. Must-order items include their super fresh Handmade Prawn Paste ($14) and tender Premium U.S. Short Rib ($22).

#nobodyisindispensable. I can be gone tomorrow, work n life will be back to normal after a month or 2 😜 BUT i will never never know how to cook chinese food!! So.... just enjoy and dine out yo ♥️
I first tried Longqing in Jan 2017 and have been coming back for it’s msg-free and yummy soup bases, truly glad it’s doing so well now! -#burpple
Their selection of ingredients is also very decent, although I don’t see the point in wasting premium meats like Iberico Pork Collar or U.S. Short rib in a steamboat—most people won’t be able to discern the difference in quality after being boiled in flavoured soups. I’d trade the more expensive meats for more quantity of their regular meats. There’s also no service charge here but judging by their great service, I would never have guessed. @longqingsingapore

What I feel sets Longqing apart from other hotpot offerings in Singapore is the soup base .
🔸
I've tried their all soup base they serve - spicy mala, lotus root and lily bulb, pork bone clear broth, tomato soup, wild mushroom, and shark's fin melon herbal soup, and I found them to be thick and deep in flavours, and has none of the artificial flavourings.
🔸
I also found they have several gems that you should order - Japanese flying squid ($16), handmade pork balls and fish paste ($12), and pig stomach ($9), just to name a few of my favourites.

Treat from the boss.
This Mapo Tofu Bowl is numbs the tongue and brings just enough spice to whet your appetite. I loved the peppercorns and how good the minced meat is. Add warm rice underneath, and we’ve got a winner for all spice lovers!
Eating this before the hotpot will definitely open your appetite for the main highlights.

That sums up Long Qing’s Braised Pork Rice Bowl ($12). It’s definitely saucy, and that adds to the sumptuous comfort of warm rice and tender pork. I wolfed this down rather quickly, so you know this was gooooooooodddddd 😍
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.

It’s really clever of LongQing to offer these $12 lunch bowls (price comes with a bottled herbal tea or honey lemon)! I’d advise against taking the Mapo Tofu Don’s name for it; because this was less of a mapo tofu than a mala tofu dish. The bowl relies on tongue-tingling ma la notes to uplift the soft squares of tofu.
Another of the lunch bowls recently introduced here that I like is the “Spicy Tofu Rice Bowl”.
The minced pork and chunky pieces of soft soya bean curd are cooked in the same spice base as what goes into the terrific “Ma La” soup served in their steamboat.
I think they calibrate the spiciness in this dish well as it‘s tasty with a respectable level of heat but not excessive since it’s meant for the lunch crowd. And since that’s made up of mostly office folks in the vicinity, obviously they can’t be returning to work all sweaty and sniffing from too much chilli, right? 😆
This rice bowl set costs $12 (before GST) and includes a bottle of herbal drink. Customers can choose from rosella tea, honey lemon or chrysanthemum tea.
