Haidilao-Styled Bai-Yu & Tomato Soup @ Hai Di Lao 海底捞

 


Where to go for good hotpot in Singapore? Haidilao is definitely one of the options in everyone's mind, if you have the budget for it. YumzYumz visited Haidilao, going for their collagen filled bai-yu, and tomato soup based. Here is our food review of it.

For a start, we got half of each of the soup base of tomato and bai-yu. Tomato soup base was slightly acidic and subtly sweet. Their bai-yu soup base was thick, almost creamy, full-bodied flavour and collagen rich. So yummy!

Next we got our sauce from the counter, served by their extremely customer-centric staff. We got their Haidilao sauce, recommended by them, which consist of these ingredients:

Haidilao sauce

Coriander
Chive
Chopped celery
Crisp soybean
Minced garlic
Crushed peanut
Minced beef
Thai chili
Soybean sauce

(we didn't memorise them. The list of ingredients were stated on the side for customers to choose from)



It was full of chunks of all the ingredients and quite enjoyable. Adding in the tomato base soup to it completed the concoction, into an ultimate sauce base for what was to come. We shall list the mention worthy items below.

We got their signature beef, beautifully marbled and distinct beefy flavour. Seafood platter consisted of 4 meaty mussels, 3 tiger prawns, and 4 huge scallops. And at Haidilao, our prawns were of course peeled by their awesome staff. Next was their pork meatball, which were so tender and bouncy. We too had their Haidilao flavoured beef, which was EXCEPTIONALLY tender even though we had it over-cooked. Slightly spicy but so amazing.



Here is our quick breakdown of the notable items. We did had other mundane items such as vegetables, mushrooms, finger food, etc.

Haidilao-Styled Bai-Yu Soup Base : $15
Tomato Soup Base : $10
Signature Beef : $32, marbled
Seafood Platter : $29, 1 portion
Pork Meatball : $15, 1 portion
Haidilao flavoured beef : $9, half portion

At Haidilao, it is perhaps never about the food, as all the items seems to be extremely expensive... Rather, it is about the exceptional customer service, be it cooking the food for you, peeling the prawns, swift and attentive, courteous, you name it, you get it. We never EVER got disappointed when we visit Haidilao, well, maybe after getting the bill. ^^

Our total bill came up to about $200. But with the experience and bloated tummy, it was a tremendous meal at Hai Di Lao that was definitely worth it.

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Their noodles were amazingly springy, coupled with their awesome thick chili that was spicy and marbled with texture.

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...
