Ge Lao Guan Hotpot 哥老官重庆美蛙鱼头火锅

Thinking of giving Ge Lao Guan (Bugis) a try after this?

Ge Lao Guan delivers a bold, full-flavoured hotpot experience with a broth selection that leans rich and intense. The beef tallow broth is deeply savoury with a smoky, meaty undertone, while the Shanghai tomato broth provides a tangy-sweet balance that rounds out the meal nicely.

Fresh bullfrog turned out tender and clean, holding up well in both broths. The 50cm crispy pork strips arrived golden and crunchy — a fun pre-hotpot bite. Bread tofu with salted egg yolk prawn paste was rich and creamy, soaking up flavour with ease. The tender beef and beef tripe were sliced well for quick cooking, staying juicy and satisfying.

The triple beef platter and assorted meatball platter offered good variety, and the fried egg with Fuling pickled mustard added a nostalgic, savoury punch. Vegetables were fresh and rounded out the meal with balance.

Century ice jelly served as a light, herbal end to the meal. For drinks, Strawberry Bliss leaned sweet and fruity, while the Pineapple Jasmine Lemon Tea was bright with a citrusy finish.

Loved the hot pot buffet at Ge Lao Guan! Interior was instagram worthy - good for catch up with friends. The hot pot broth was authentic and the meat was flavourful. Afterwards, we had the ice jelly which help take away some of the spice🤤 Will come back for more.
