Empire Hotpot 帝国轩火锅 (Ngee Ann City)

Came by to celebrate a birthday as I bought a Chope voucher on a really good deal. For three of us, we decided to start with the $88 Chef Set Menu which came with a half-and-half soup pot, 2 starches, half portions of pork belly and beef slices, seafood platter (comprising prawns, squids, and garoupa fillets), vege & mushroom platter, and desserts. Added on $3.80 per pax for the condiment bar which included watermelon. This alone could be a satisfying meal for the three of us as the soups themselves (we had Dried Scallop & Winter Melon and Sichuan Spicy) were already chockful of ingredients. However, they were running a promotion at the time which was $3.80 for almost every ala carte order of hotpot ingredients...wow! The portions were also pretty decent for the price, like 3 dumplings or wantons for the price.

Service was also attentive and so friendly; they offered to deshell our prawns, cook our noodles, and proactively suggested to takeaway our leftover soup! Drop by soon before their $3.80 promo ends because it is really such a good deal!

用 beyong餐卷一盘免费。汤底选了麻辣和番茄，可惜了点！太浓郁的汤底，多少夺去了和牛的鲜美。下次再去，得选清汤！

I used Burppke Beyond for the Kagoshima Wagyu beef. Each half portion consists of four large slices, costing $48. With Burppke 1-for-1 another half portion is given free. A whole portion would have been $96. It goes well with clear soup. I asked for their Special XO sauce at $3 instead of the usual self-mixed sauce. Prawn paste is nice too. Overall, a good experience especially with Burppke Beyond.

Empire Hotpot has recently launched their new limited-editon Chrysanthemum Soup Base that's available until end November 2022. We tried the Chrysanthemum Set for 2* which includes:

~Chrysanthemum Soup Base (you can choose full or split half-half with another soup base)
~Cucumber with Garlic & Marinated Black Fungus
~Pork / Lamb / Beef
~Assorted Vegetable Platter
~Daily Noodles 2 Portion
~Chrysanthemum Tea (Hot)
~Chilled Osmanthus Jelly Cake

We enjoyed the Chrysanthemum Soup Base, which we initially thought was gonna taste like Chrysanthemum tea, but it did not; it is boiled with other herbs and mushrooms to give it a very nourishing and warm, comforting taste! As for the hotpot ingredients, their meats were really fresh, not gamey, and the quality is excellent as well! Would also recommend adding on their refillable sauces ($3.50++/pax), to dip your ingredients in! The friendly servers will help you to mix the sauces tableside - you can choose their signature mixes or customise your own. Lastly we liked the luxe and spacious interior here too, which further elevated the dining experience!

*They also have a Set for 4 ($198++) and a Set for 6 ($228++). Each set comes with a voucher for a complimentary express gel manicure and a 15-minute head massage at Oasis Wellness, located 2 doors from Empire Hotpot.

Excellent service with shell peeling service for prawns. The prawns were pretty fresh and the soup base was tasty. Quite a hearty meal with a nice environment to enjoy steamboat
