Beauty In The Pot 美滋锅 @ Star Vista

Once in a year gathering with ex-colleagues, and last year we were at Tan Yu and this time round, they decided to journey to the west. Hotpot, it shall be. Reservations were made by Jingwen (thanks!), and the wait was about 5 minutes for the table to be ready.

One thing to note is that each table was limited to just 90-minutes. Service was brisk, and diners are to order through the tablet. Liked that the information displayed included the trending items. For noobs, just get the #1 trending from each section, can't go wrong!

For soup, we ordered 4 different ones; collagen, mala, tomato and mushrooms. For sauce, the concept is similar to HDL, where diners would pay an amount (I think it was $2.99) per head and can get one sauce and fruits.

For drinks, we had the sour plum which strangely came looking like guava juice. A tad too sweet for me, this plum juice.

For hot pot, we ordered the usual meat, fish paste, vegetables, noodles, dumplings etc.

The dumplings here were pretty good. The mixed dumplings platter was like a sampler set and had Pork and Chives Dumpling (韭菜猪肉饺), Prawn Roll Dumpling (虾卷) and Prawn Dumpling (珍宝鲜虾水饺).

If you had ordered any Specialty Homemade Paste (滑类), then the staff will help you to push those into the broth. Other than that, it was pretty much on your own.

The must order thing for the night, turned out to be the fried beancurd skin.

It was so good after being dipped into the tomato broth. This was match-made in heaven 绝配 (imho).

After you've finished your meal, the staff will serve you a complimentary shot of lime sorbet. Once again, it was pretty sweet and sour at the same time. Refreshing after a heavy meal.

Then, do remind the staff to bring you the fruits. If you need more, just let the staff know.

The time-limit was good to prevent us from over-ordering and over-eating. When we left at 10+pm, there was the next queue for the next seating as there is a promo of 20% off after 10.30pm.

Expect to spend about $40 to $50 per pax.
