Chicken Hotpot at Novena Square

Its Mother's Day today! So my family decided to dine out at somewhere nice. We were at Novena Square where we came about this new eating place call "Chicken Hotpot". Its a small eating area and we don't really know what is it about, but decided to go ahead and eat as it seems like some good stuff. It has franchised all over the world, very good reviews from Shanghai and Hong Kong and even from our very own Singapore's "Food Detectives". Little did I know that I'm in for a pleasant surprise =)

We've ordered a medium chicken hotpot and a small beef hotpot for me. When it arrived, we were fooled by it's initial look. It look nothing more like just claypot chicken with meat and not much of soup based. My mum was asking me how do we even do hotpot steamboat like this? (There is a fridge with other side-dishes if you want). As we were eating, the service crew came over to add in more soup based to almost the brim. By now, we were already enjoying the tender beef and chickens. After which, I went over to the fridge to grab a plate of duo meow and some mixed meat.

Oh just a little about the fridge. Besides eating from just whatever you have in the hotpot, you can also take side-dishes from the fridge. The range is as follows:
$1 - Vegetables: From duo meow to mushrooms and all sorts of vegetables including bitter gound.
$2 - Meats: Ranging from fish meat to lap chiong and some other stuff
$3 - Mixed meat, beef strips and other more expensive stuffs.

Then with these, you can make your own hotpot steamboat. Its really delicious, especially the beef hotpot. No regrets! With more soup based been added in and with its original herbs and spices, I was literally sipping the soup dry but the service crew keep topping up the soup for me. Oh btw, the service there is good too. The service crews will keep walking around and top up the soup-base for you before it runs low, without you having to ask them. The boss also served us and asked if we like the food. When my parents had finish eating their meal, I'm still guiltly sipping the soup and searching for bits and pieces of beef bits and duo meow in the soup like a glutton =p

When we paid the bill, we realized there isn't even any service charge and we weren't charged for the wet tissues either. Quite a good deal yeah?

My personal recommendation: If you are a meat lover, order a medium beef hotpot, go for beef stripes, duo meow and tao pok. Satisfaction guarantee!
