Broth & Beyond Hot Pot

[CITY HALL, SINGAPORE] we were at @brothbeyond_chijmes recently for a hotpot meal and we were really quite impressed by the quality of ingredients and the service provided by one of the server, Maine 😍

To me, the most important dish in a hotpot is the soup base and Golden Umami Broth 🍲 was the best. It was really rich and provided great flavour for any other hotpot dishes. Many of their dishes were served with dry ice, giving that fancy vibe to elevate your dining. All of the hotpot dishes were of high quality, and I loved Signature Mushroom Pork Ball 🐷 the most.

They serve a plethora of cooked dishes as well, and the one that stole my heart was their Live Boston Lobster Porridge 🦞, which had so much seafood umami! I like the crispy bits as well which added extra texture. The lobster itself was definitely fresh, as it was taken directly from a tank. Wagyu Prata 🥞 was also crispy on the outside and chewy within, with tender meaty filling which provided much flavour!

Thank you @eatwithkeat for the invite and @brothbeyond_chijmes for the food. It was truly exceptional!

Whether it’s an indulgent lunch or a chill dinner sesh, it’s hotpot done right.

Compare to their hotpot, it’s not spicy enough for me, so add dried chili is not even close. We ask for more 火锅底料. But their dumplings are awesome! Especially the black one. And white one also with strong mushroom smell and taste. Good quality for lunch. Even is lunch set almost same price as HDL, if you’re in town. Good place to visit!

Came by on Mother's Day and they were so kind to offer a complimentary stalk of flower and beancurd desserts to our table in celebration. To our surprise, they were also running a promotion of 20% off the menu, even for the set lunch menu! Really so generous!

Their set menus start from $29.90++, which comes with broth and meat of your choice, a more-than-decent vegetable platter, choice of noodles or rice, a drink, and access to their "market table", which has appetisers, sauces and condiments, fruits, and a dessert bar where you can make your own jelly dessert concoction! There're also premium meat options to top up $10 for which includes seafood, premium beef, etc as your choice of meat.

Overall, the meat and veges were fresh and high quality, broths were delicious and refillable (we loved the tomato and golden chicken broths), and we had such a blast eating! Ambience was cosy, the interior was aesthetic, and service was prompt and friendly. If we had to give a complaint, it was that our table for 4 was slightly too cramped, such that we frequently had to 'tetris' the golden cages that the meat and vege platters came in for them to fit on the table top.

Had the Yunnan-style single hotpot lunch set and was pleasantly surprised! For $29.90, you get your own pot, a main, veggies, carbs and a drink. For an extra $10, you can upgrade to a premium meat or seafood option.
The free-flow Market Table was a highlight which includes DIY bingfen, tanghulu, dipping sauces and various side dishes.
I picked the black truffle mushroom broth, super fragrant and full of flavour. You can also choose a yuan yang pot if you prefer the best of both worlds.
The Signature Jasmine Flower Shrimp Paste is a must-try ! Bouncy texture with a lovely floral note.
Ended the meal with soft serve and a refreshing DIY bingfen.
Bonus: they also sell Yunnan flowers, which make a sweet takeaway gift!

A 4.9‑star spot at CHIJMES? Had to grab a friend and check out their lunch set—verdict: totally worth the hype. S$29.90++ or S$39.90++ per person, and you feel like you’re splurging in a luxe mall without wrecking your wallet.
