Xiao Long Kan Hotpot 小龙坎老火锅 (Orchard Shopping Centre)

Unlike other joints that charge more if u want duo or trio soup , this places charges u less if u choose the 3 soup option ! Hallelujah for variety lovers !

The Mala Soup has a commendable spicy kick n variety & quality of the food is decent . It won’t cost u an arm n a leg and tables are well spaced out .

Ordered xiao la, but still super super spicy.
Pretty decent hotpot, but nothing really stood out.

The interior was quite nice, best to reserve a window seat! One of the few places to get parking in Orchard, so quite convenient if you’re planning to drive.

Tried the TikTok famous Xiao Long Kan which some claim to be better than HDL. Came with average expectations and left disappointed. The soup base here is horrible. We ordered the mala and pork broth. Pork tasted diluted, MSG filled chicken soup while the mala was extremely oily (I’d say that there was more oil than soup). That aside, beef strips, beef balls and pork were good, but other than that I found the rest of the ingredient options to be mediocre. Also, don’t come here expecting HDL standard service. Staff here are polite but they won’t treat your like royalty so manage your expectations. It’s an okay-ish hotpot place but comparing it to HDL is like comparing apples and oranges.
