Starting off 2019 with a big steamboat feast sounds like a great idea to me, and if you agree, here’s some good news! Beauty In The Pot recently opened a new outlet in VivoCity, and I’m happy to report that the quality and consistency of the food is still top-notch.
.
What gave me an extremely pleasant surprise was that despite changing the recipe for their signature beauty collagen soup, the new conpoy and pig trotter based broth might actually be even thicker and richer than before. It had a deeper umami creaminess to it that it’s predecessor did not.
.
Other soup bases include a coconut soup, which was just too sweet for my palate, and wasn’t my favourite; a ma la based soup which was spicy enough to have a pleasant kick, but also mild enough to drink as is, and an herbal soup primarily flavoured with dang gui, and had a savoury salty flavour, with bitter undertones.
.
They also feature three new items, pig’s aorta, black cow tripe, and bamboo shoots. The aorta (third picture) only needs to boil briefly before it’s ready for consumption. The texture was crunchy at first, before it becomes chewy, almost like a cuttlefish that is a held together a lot more strongly. Taste-wise it was featureless, and it definitely strikes me as a food item that’s more about the texture rather than taste.
.
Mostly as a huge fan of Beauty in the Pot, I’m super relieved that the signature beauty collagen broth is still amazing, maybe even more so than before.
