[CLOSED] The Magic Of ChongQing Hot Pot

The prices are a little high here and there are only four condiments to choose from, but the ingredients are very fresh and service from the staff is good. Please read my review at www.hungryghost.sg

"Tanglin Shopping Centre? Where's that?" Many people will think that I am referring to Tanglin Mall, but The Magic Of ChongQing Hot Pot is situated at level 4 of the quiet mall.

Serving 64 types of ingredients from meats to veggies to staple carbs, dinner at a price of S$35.90 is quite affordable. The Chicken Broth here is my favourite soup base, although the chilli lovers will not reject their 麻辣 Soup. Do try to scoop the chilli oil from the surface of the soup if you are not ready for some flamethrowing action.

The other thing I enjoy about eating here, is that they will serve complimentary items such as special meatballs, steamed and fried dumplings, water chestnut jelly and Eight Treasure Porridge (basically multigrain porridge to aid digestion).

One more thing that I will recommend here is the Eight Treasures tea (S$5.00), which I find useful in cooling my body from all the heat from the spice and the food. Ask for the hot version and you will even get to see some traditional long-mouth kettle action... just a little.

With a group of friends, I thought I had a great time catching up in this place. Reservations are always recommended, especially during weekends.

I like the convenience of ala carte buffet style and the clean and no msg laden soup bases. They also have a decent variety of items to choose from for the buffet menu. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 definitely thumbs-up!

Delicious tea that supposedly helps with digestion. Need some of this goodness right now. Although it was the culprit that only allowed me 2 hours of sleep on Sunday night. Chinese teas are my caffeine boost. Coffee is just like bedtime milk to me. 😕

Known for rich stock bases, the 'Ma La Tang' and 'Old Faithful Chicken Stock' in particular, this value-for-money buffet always attracts a big crowd. Their signature mouth-numbing Ma La really packs a punch -- order only if you can handle spice. Premium ingredients like abalone are available for a la carte orders as well. Nicely decked out in red lanterns and oriental Chinese decor, this Sichuanese country house vibe will complete the experience. It's perfect for a group gathering of about 10 or more, just book their private room and make as much noise as you like while stuffing yourself silly!
