🐰Ong Ong Rabbit Pudding ($6.80)
Found this dessert to be a little too sweet but I loved the smooth silky texture and the adorable shape.
❤️Popping Lychee Ball ($6.80)
Don’t be fooled by the name, these lychee balls are actually filled with prawn. The fillings were super juicy and the prawns were plump, really good!
🥟Fortune Siew Mai ($6.80)
The siew mai is topped with ebiko, which were fun to pop when chewing. Generally it tasted like regular siew mai but I liked the generosity of the ingredients.
🥩 Beef Feast
📍ChaoNiu Hot Pot (@chaoniuhotpotsg)
📌 Duo Galleria #01-40
💰 $168++
🎁 Invited Tasting
If beef is your favourite type of meat to get when you have hotpot, ChaoNiu Hot Pot should be your next spot to check out. This restaurant serves different premium cuts of beef served hotpot style within the Chaoshan culture!
We were treated to the Beef Feast, a $168++ set suitable for 3-4 pax which includes the following:
- Neck
- Chuck
- Sirloin
- Cheek
- Blade
- Topside
- Shank
- Flank
- Meatball platter
- Beef Offal platter
- Vegetable platter
- Chaozhou Vermicelli
- Pan-Fried dumpling
All the cuts of beef were so delicious and meaty. I’m usually not the biggest fan of hotpot beef (I prefer the bbq versions) but every single cut really impressed me and my friends. My favourite cuts in particular were the sirloin and blade.
The addition of a vegetable platter and vermicelli also added some fibre to the meal! At the end, all of us were stuffed and satisfied.
To cook the meat, we got the duo Beef & Spicy Soup ($17++). While they were milder in taste, they were refreshing and cooked the meat really well. Be sure to get their dipping sauces too, which were bursting with flavour and gave the meat a nice amount of saltiness. Take note that the soup and sauces are not included in the $168 Beef Feast, so you’ll have to add it on!
The drinks didn’t disappoint either, the Ice Lemon Tea ($2.50) had a strong tea taste, unlike most other ice lemon teas that kinda just taste like sugary lemon juice. I loved the Calamansi Juice ($2.50) as well, as you can tell that they used real calamansi to make it instead of concentrate.
Groups of 2 can opt for the $88++ Calf Feast, which comes with 5 beef cuts, 2 platters & Chaozhou Vermicelli.

🍗Tori Karage ($5)
The chicken is tender and chewy and the skin is really crispy too. It reminds me of karaage from Japanese restaurants!
🍟Mentaiko Fries ($5)
The mentaiko mayo is savoury and creamy with string umami notes. The fries are super crispy too! The portion is a little small, I feel, but the generous amount of mentaiko is to be applauded.
🍛 Chicken Katsu Curry Don ($8.80)
A pretty solid bowl of katsu curry, the curry is not too salty and is well dispersed throughout the bowl. The chicken katsu is crispy and tender, the texture of the meat is a little mushier and reminds me of the texture of fish and chips.
🍲Cheese Chicken Mentai Don ($10.80)
Absolutely adored this bowl. The chicken cutlet was topped with a generous amount of mentaiko mayo and torched cheese, and the rice is drizzled with a sweet umami sauce that tastes similar to teriyaki. All the elements come together to create a dish that is sweet and savoury with just the right amount of saltiness.
🍞Orange Almond Frangipane Loaf ($6)
Fragrant, soft and rich, the loaf is citrusy and nutty with its addition of oranges and almonds.
🥖Eight Treasures Sourdough Bread ($8.90)
A hearty option that will be sure to dazzle the sourdough lovers, this loaf contains 8 types of nuts and seeds for a nutritious meal.
💚Cake Loaf ($19)
Available in 5 flavours including Pandan Gula Melaka and Yuzu Cranberry, these loaves are dense, crumbly and packed full of buttery fragrance!
🍪Cashew Sesame Crunch ($26)
Light with a melt-in-the-mouth texture, those who love nutty flavours will definitely love this!
🥥Ondeh Ondeh ($26)
Really fragrant with the delicious aroma of pandan and gula melaka, a true SG treat.
🍪Pumpkin & Melon Seeds Cluster ($26)
A healthier option made with buttery thin wafer cookies and hearty seeds, definitely a hit with the elders!
