Rich, bold and beautifully plated — Ge Lao Guan Hotpot is where comfort food meets intensity.
One of the first things that caught my eye? The condiments station — so sophisticated and well thought-out, with a variety that felt curated instead of overwhelming.

Both soup bases were packed with character — the beef tallow broth with bullfrog was deep, savoury and delicious, while the Shanghai tomato broth added a tangy-sweet contrast that balanced the richness.

Some highlights from the meal:
🩷 Bull Frog was well soaked and marinated in the soup (My Epic Fav)
🩷 Salted egg yolk prawn paste — creamy and full-bodied
🩷 Triple beef platter and beef tripe — fresh, quick-cooking, and juicy (Must order)
🩷 Fried egg with Fuling pickled mustard — so nostalgic, savoury and satisfying
🩷 Tiger prawn — Huge fresh and yummy!!
✅️ 50cm crispy pork strips — light and crunchy
✅️ Finished off with century ice jelly — light, herbal and refreshing
✅️ Strawberry Bliss - fruity and fun
✅️ Pineapple Jasmine Lemon Tea - bright citrus lift that kept things refreshing between bites.

It was a deeply flavourful experience, and I left feeling full, not just from the food, but from the way each dish literally had its own moment. For those into intense broths and curated bites, this spot brings comfort with a touch of flair you won't regret heading down!!
