Dip and stew at a Far East Mall near youCraving hotpot? Of course you are. And if you aren’t, then maybe you know someone in your group of friends who is, and whom you can invite for hotpot on a whim. Such is the nature of this communal culinary treat: Hotpot restaurants are as prolific as they are specific — they’re all over Singapore, and they’re able to invoke cravings that nothing else can sate.
All of which is to say: When you gotta have hotpot, you gotta have hotpot.
It’s just as well, then, that there’s no shortage of great hotpot places all across our little island nation. But if you’re looking for a more discerning selection of hotpot spots that are as satisfying and delicious as they are conveniently located, allow us to point you in the right direction. Here are eight exceptional hotpot restaurants where you can get your fix.
SIAM SQUARE MOOKATA
Clarke Quay Central #01-15 and Junction 10 #01-33
Clarke Quay Central and Junction 10 are both home to branches of Siam Square Mookata, which serves up an excellent take on the type of hotpot that originated in Thailand. You know the one: it’s got the round grill plate encircled by a delicious river of soup, so you can toast various meats and let the flavours drip down into the broth. Whether you’re in town or up in the northwest area, you have somewhere to go when that tom yum hot pot craving hits.
UPIN HOT POT
Clarke Quay Central #03-87
Attention, abalone fans! Upin Hot Pot located at Clarke Quay Central, is well-known for its signature dishes, including premium abalone and beef tripe. Enjoy these at Clarke Quay Central if you’re want to have hotpot with a view, because here, you can look out at the river throughout your meal.
CAPTAIN KIM KOREAN BBQ AND HOTPOT
Junction 10 #01-24
There’s mookata, there’s traditional hotpot, and then there’s Captain Kim’s — a delightful fusion of Korean barbecue and Southeast Asian hotpot. That means you can enjoy your premium ingredients in either of two ways: the all-out indulgence of KBBQ and the comforting warmth of a good old-fashioned steamboat. Plus, Captain Kim’s is halal-certified!
SHABU SAI
Orchard Central #08-09
Looking for something with more Japan vibes? Shabu Sai at Orchard Central has, as the kids say, gotchu fam. Shabu-shabu, which gets its onomatopoeic name from the sound made when swishing ingredients around in a pot of soup, is hotpot done the Japanese way. At Shabu Sai, that means you can choose from ingredients and soup stocks like sukiyaki, curry, tonkotsu, and seaweed. Itadakimasu!
SHI LI FANG
Orchard Central #08-13 and Junction 10 #01-32
Whether you’re roaming the Orchard area or up in the northwest, Shi Li Fang is a great place to go to get your hotpot fix. Its hotpot fare is available in both Orchard Central and Junction 10, and includes variants of beef from Australia, America, Japan, and New Zealand. Keep an eye on their time-based promos for even better value!
CHICKEN HOTPOT
Square 2 #04-02B
The logo of Chicken Hotpot contains an anthropomorphic chili pepper in place of the word “hot”, which tells you one crucial thing: if you’re into spicy hotpot, this is the place to go. With three levels of spiciness, you’re sure to find an appropriate level of heat here. But don’t let the rest of the name deceive you, because Chicken Hotpot serves much more than chicken hotpots. You can get shrimp, beef, fish, and pork tripe, too.
HIPPOT 潮爷来了
One Holland Village #02-34/36
The stark colourful artworks that adorn the walls of Hippot are your first taste of its character as a hotpot restaurant. Overall, the vibe is, fresh, and, well, hip. Your second taste might be the menu, which consists of the traditional hotpot offerings, and then some. (They’ve got pig brain, if you’re craving!) At the end of the meal, Hippot lets customers enjoy an array of nine complimentary desserts. So rest assured that at Hippot, the fun only just begins with the cool murals.
