Had the Yunnan-style single hotpot lunch set and was pleasantly surprised! For $29.90, you get your own pot, a main, veggies, carbs and a drink. For an extra $10, you can upgrade to a premium meat or seafood option.
The free-flow Market Table was a highlight which includes DIY bingfen, tanghulu, dipping sauces and various side dishes.
I picked the black truffle mushroom broth, super fragrant and full of flavour. You can also choose a yuan yang pot if you prefer the best of both worlds.
The Signature Jasmine Flower Shrimp Paste is a must-try ! Bouncy texture with a lovely floral note.
Ended the meal with soft serve and a refreshing DIY bingfen.
Bonus: they also sell Yunnan flowers, which make a sweet takeaway gift!

A nice and quiet place for a quick lunch, with easy parking along Rangoon Road. Quite tasty.

Haven't been to Mellben in a really long time and I miss having Mellben’s crab done in its signature way. The milky broth is thick, rich, creamy and beamed with sweetness from the crab. The crab was fresh and succulently sweet with chunks of meat coming off cleanly.

Long list of high-quality ingredients, good condiments, and most importantly superb friendly and pro-active service make Haidilao a winning formula. Given the manpower shortage in the F&B sector, how do they attract, train and retain great staff?

✨ spaghetti mee goreng with eggs
delicous and savory fusion dish, reminiscent of home cooked food with an italian twist! The noodles were delicous and filling, definitely worth the money!

✨ chicken satay with ketupat
simple yet delicious, what more to ask for a quick supper snack? The satay sauce is interesting with a sweet and tangy taste

✨ mac & cheese with crispy chicken
creamy and cheesy baked rice with delicious fried chicken as toppings! Savoury yet crunchy textures combined to give a satisfying dish that is sure to fill you up!

✨ prata with curry (2 pieces)
a must have supper staple for the overworked student. Nothing like a good prata with delicious curry to award yourself at the end of a long day!

✨ Ice chocolate drink
simple yet decadent, a nice cool drink to pair with your meals!

✨ Iced mocha
need some additional energy to power through the late nights? Nothing like an iced mocha to give you that late night buzz!

This restaurant is located at a very convenient location, and also has a very nice ambience. The food are very good, especially this unagi tempura is nicely fried, so juicy yet not dry. Personally can finish a dish per person. Recommended.
