Xiao Long Kan Hotpot 小龙坎火锅 (Westgate)

If you ask us, we can’t think of a meal that’s more comforting than a bubbling cauldron of fiery-hot soup. And when that craving strikes, there’s one name that soars above its competition – Xiao Long Kan Hotpot 小龙坎老火锅. Hailing from Chengdu, Xiao Long Kan Hotpot is the brainchild of F&B veteran Lao Wu. Better known as Old Man Wu, this bright entrepreneur wanted to create an eating space centred around providing the best ingredients and flavours for diners. And what happens next is history, as this burgeoning empire succeeded beyond all expectations and has new restaurants popping up all over the continent. Located in Chinatown, Xiao Long Kan Hotpot is a place where you’ll be treated like a member of the imperial dynasty. From the warm and attentive service to the rich and opulent decor showcasing Chinese lanterns, wooden lattice panels, and gorgeous wall-sized paintings, get ready to be whisked away from the humdrum of everyday life and into a dining experience like no other. Load up on a variety of top-quality ingredients to go alongside your spicy hotpot. We love the tender Beef Slices or the Lady Finger Wrapped Pork. The freshly made Tofu is another go-to pick that complements the spice-laden soup perfectly. An ever-growing chain, Xiao Long Kan Hotpot has made a splash among local hotpot aficionados for its deeply satisfying and lip-smacking fare. (Jun 2023)
