Hotpot Culture

Yebber’s gathering at Hotpot was during the last day of Chinese New Year, which was like two months ago? I’m very sorry for this very late post, didn’t have the time to blog, and i’m eating way faster than the rate i’m blogging. Thus the delay, anyway i finally make time for this post because i wanna get it up before i make my next post on Yebber’s 1st Anniversary Party @ Mint Museum. Do watch out for that next post!

I didn’t have much photos to show, mainly because i was hoping to get some photos from the rest using their powerful DSLR, but in the end i decided to take some quick shots, and didn’t really get much nice shots.

Fried Garlic Chicken I like this one! It taste quite like “rojak”, except it got chicken instead of “you tiao”!

Sweet Sour Fish The Sweet Sour Fish here is not bad too. Being a huge fan of sweet sour food, think sweet sour pork, fish, chicken, i’m always on a lookout for good sweet sour food.

Chili Squid The Chili Squid is really spicy! Hot hot hot!

Yu Sheng At the end, we had Yu Sheng, it was fun having yu sheng with the yebbers!

One person at Hotpot Culture cost $19.80 (i think), with one person having mini-pot which entitles unlimited serving on the steamboat and cook food selection. And oh ya, they also have free-flow ice cream, and guess what? Chocolate Fondue!! Yeah, thats quite generous right? We had fruits to go along with the fondue, sweet! But one thing i didn’t like was one person can only have one free-drink, and after that you need to pay $2 for free-flow of drinks.

I’m not sure whether i’ll be back at Hotpot Culture again, partly because i’m not really a steamboat person, and also i’ll like to try more of other place. So your call, if you think they are worth a try, you can always find them at; Marina Square #02-138D Centre Stage

” Hotpot, one pot many cultures “

Good Value. Many Varieties. One Pot. Many Cultures.

I passed by Hotpot Culture everytime I go Marina Square. But never got chance to go try it. Finally, at the Yebber shoutbox, one day we decided that this is the place to go for our Chinese New Year gathering. Together with fellow Yebbers, we cheong (rushed) down to HPC with $19.80 (promotional price) in our pocket.

You must be wondering why there's so many photos of cooked food when this place is call Hotpot Culture. Well, this is the one thing that's unique. So far its the only place that I've been to that has so much too choose from beside the mini steamboat selection. The usual steamboat buffet, you'll have less than 10 selections all cooked and "dumped" at the counter for all to take. But here at HPC, they'll serve you when you order and the food served are fresh and warm. The serving size varies with the number of pax at the table.

Some of the cooked food I tired and like includes... Fried Tofu (2nd photo) - This is the crispy outside and soft inside kind of tofu. Simple yet nice. Taste well with the sauce and chilipadi.

Sweet and Sour Fish (3rd photo) - I love to eat sweet and sour fish. This one served at HPC is not bad. They fried the fish first then cooked it with the sweet and sour sauce. I could taste the slight texture of the fried fish still even thou I ate it only after awhile its served.

Fried Garlic Chicken - I'm not a garlic person, but this one I enjoyed. The chicken is crispy and flavorful. As recommended by Polarbear, this you have to eat it while its hot.

At HPC, everyone gets a mini pot and you get to choose the soup base from the 5 available. If I've not remembered wrongly, there's the Chicken, Fish, Hot & Spicy, Kimchi and Herbal. I had the Kimchi one and I love it! First time I had Kimchi steamboat. I drank 2 full pot of Kimchi soup. I think the next time I go, I'll just put cabbage and golden mushrooms in my Kimchi soup. Yummilicious!

I'll leave it to the rest to share their experience with you. If you would like to see the photos and happenings that day, check out at... Blog: Night Out with Yebbers Blog: Comics - Yebbers Night Out
