Visited this restaurant for a weekday lunch and found plenty of available tables, allowing us to choose a seat by the glass window with a beautiful view of the Singapore River. For the broths, we tried the signature tomato broth and the clam seafood broth. The tomato broth was refreshing and flavorful, while the clam seafood broth lacked depth in taste. The highlights of our meal were the Australian marbled beef short rib, New Zealand hand-rolled mutton, and chestnut pork belly, each offering excellent texture and flavour. We also ordered the taro sweet potato ball, which was crispy on the outside and sweet inside—a delightful addition to the meal. Condiments are priced at $3 per person, and beverages (water chestnut drink, barley drink, and lemon tea) are also an additional $3 per person. However, a nice touch is the complimentary dessert provided for all diners. Overall, it is a great place to enjoy a hotpot meal with quality ingredients and a scenic view. I would recommend it for a cosy and satisfying dining experience.

The tomato soup broth is thick and full of ingredients, the nicest tomato broth I've had so far. The ingredients were fresh, and the prawn paste was definitely much nicer than at other hotpot restaurants. The taro ball dessert was really refreshing. I will be back again.

The food quality here is pretty good! Meat and seafood are fresh. The tomato soup leans sweet, but its acidity is refreshing and cuts through the heaviness of the meal. Also loved the very inventive prawn paste on a spoon that you can hang by the hotpot bowl (mine was still cooking, so don't mind the colour). Free-flow dessert (ice cream, douhua, bingfen, grass jelly, matcha pudding). Overall, a really good first experience here!

You can smell the rich tomato broth even before stepping into the restaurant; it's quite fragrant. The place is visually striking, with tomatoes taking center stage—beautifully displayed outside and used generously in the dishes. Service was friendly and efficient. There's a great selection of condiments and fresh fruits (watermelon, orange, honeydew), although no complimentary starter dishes were offered. We tried both the tomato soup (absolutely full of flavor) and the 猪肚汤 (pork tripe soup), which was also quite good. For dessert, there's a self-serve cone ice cream machine with three flavours (vanilla, mango, and mixed), plus four other dessert options—a nice touch after a hotpot meal, but the taste was so-so. Overall, a satisfying experience, especially if you love tomato-based broths!

The service is good, and they offer free-flow desserts and ice cream. The staff made us feel welcome. Ingredients are fresh, and I recommend the lala soup and pork soup. This is the only hotpot place in Singapore I would visit at least twice a month.
