The restaurant was under the Imperial Treasure chain, and offered hotpot. It was considered one of the most atas outlet in Singapore to offer hotpot. There was also branch in Great World City. This outlet looked quite grand from the entrance. Reservation of 8 people was made a week ago. The staff called up about an hour before the reservation to confirm. The staff showed us to a private room with a great view of Orchard Road. The table was big with 2 induction stoves and could seat 10 pax comfor

The staff showed us to a private room with a great view of Orchard Road. The table was big with 2 induction stoves and could seat 10 pax comfortably. 
Most hotpot restaurant had sauce counter, but here the staff brought the tray of sauces which consisted of satay sauce, peanut sauce, sesame sauce, sesame seeds, chilli sauce, garlic chilli sauce, sliced green chilli, sliced red chilli, chopped coriander, deep fried chopped garlic, chopped garlic, chopped spring onion) to the table. Each person was charged $2.50++ for the sauces.
For soup base, selected Imperial Drunken Chicken Soup 乾隆醉雞窩 ($28++) which tasted slightly bitter in the beginning but was quite flavourful. It came with a bowl of marinated chicken to add into the soup. The chicken was quite tender.
Accompanied with the following :
King Tiger Prawn 鳳尾蝦 ($18++/ 4pc) - served peeled, big and juicySliced Eel 白鱔片 ($14++) - quite boney
Squid 鮮魷魚 ($10++)
USA Sliced "Kurobuta" Pork Belly 美國黑豚豬腩肉片 ($14++)
Sliced Lamb Shoulder 鮮羊肩片 ($15++)Four Treasure Ball Platter 鮮四寶丸 ($14++/ 8pc) - Fresh Prawn Ball, Fresh Cuttle Fish Ball, Fresh Canton Dace Fish Ball, Fresh Pork Ball

Fresh Dace Fish Noodle 唧唧鯪魚麵 ($11++) - The staff pipped out the paste from a bag, very tender
Assorted Vegetable 雜菜籃 ($6.80++)
Bamboo Pith 野山竹笙 ($20++) - spongy and softAssorted Mushrooms 雜菇籃 ($8.80++)
Deep Fried Fish Skin 酥炸魚皮 ($6.80++)
Deep Fried Beancurd Skin 炸三秒 ($6.80++) - Everyone's favourite item, had it without soaking in the hotpot, so that it would be light and crispy. Else soaked for a few seconds in hotpot which soaked up the soup easily.
Chilled Beancurd 凍豆腐 ($4++) - It was like a more airy and softer version of the dried bean curd, which was able to soak up the soup.
Washed down the meal with Cooling Herbal Tea 清熱凉茶 ($12++/jar) and Sweeten Plum 秘制酸梅湯 ($12++/jar)
