JPot - Hotpot Singapore Style

Steamboat had never been my favourite. However, I had been to JPot at least 5 times, initiated by friends, colleagues or family.

Initially the price for JPot was attractive, set lunch starting from $9.80++, you can also get a decent set dinner with less than $20.  With the new menu that is more expensive and with less variety, there is really not much motivation for me to revisit this restaurant.

Recently visited JPot again because of a friend's birthday. We settled for a 2 person dinner set A which ends up to be $60+ after tax and service charges.

Each person has an individual hotpot and get to choose from a variety of soup bases - JPot Superior Broth, Porridge, Laksa, Bak Kut Teh, Herbal, Tom Yum and vegetarian.  We get the JPot Superior Broth and silky porridge.


They also offered a bar of ingredients and sauces for you to freely mix and match for the steamboat dip. The Jpot soy sauce, fried garlic and spring onions are my usual pick. It will be better if they can offer (instead of upon request) more dipping saucers to satisfy the need of variety of sauces for different meat, just like the way we are pampered for buffet.

My dipping sauce


Seafood - live prawns, sliced red garoupa, sliced cuttlefish, scallop, hand-made fish noodle. The prawns and fish are fresh. My favourite is the scallop, if you can spot the thinly sliced little pieces of scallop from the picture. Besides Vietnamese pho, there are also spinach with Enoki Mushroom included in the set.

Set Dinner A


Freshly sliced and marinated Meat, we choose Pork Loin and marinated chicken.  The Pork loin is nice, just like shabu shabu.  The quail egg are to be mixed with the marinated chicken before cooking to enhance its tenderness.
