Actually I haven’t heard much about Jpot except from my friends, I didn’t even know it’s so highly raved. We didn’t make reservations (we reached at about 6.30pm) and made reservations on the spot. The person told us to come back half an hour later to see if there’s a table, else you walk around first and they will call! But anyway I suggest to make reservations because it’s quite popular.

Anw we managed to get a table at around 7.30pm, not too bad right!! We ordered the set for 4 persons at 96++, there's another premium set which was around 100+ for 4 persons as well, but for more items. But we went for the cheaper one, and was so disappointed with the amount of food in the set that's barely enough to fill our stomachs. It just looks like a lot because there's more vegetables than me. I suggest to order ala carte, you get to choose what you like! I highly recommend the marinated meats! As for the broths, we had the JPOT superior broths, the porridge one and herbal one. I recommend the JPOT superior broth! It's great! The quality of the food was actually quite good, just don't order the set because it's not more worth it. Another aspect of JPOT is that we can mix our own sauce! There's recipes on the sauce area where you can follow, else you can just mix whatever you want!

Had dinner at food village because it was still early and there's no crowd yet. As I wanted to try some Vietnamese food, I ordered a bowl of pho with beef slices and beef balls ($7.50)! I like the soup as it is rich in flavour, yet light and it really whets my appetite a lot. The lime given adds some sour-ness to it, making it a very refreshing! Noodles are soft and chewy, the beef slices were cut thinly. I also love the beansprouts which were raw because they're so crunchy. Also got Vietnamese spring rolls and it tasted delicious even though I'm not a huge fan of raw carrots! Remember to dip with peanut sauce

Along liang seah street there are countless steamboat places but since my friend came to this outlet before, we decided to give it a go. There's not much soups to choose from as they're all spicy (kimchi, laksa, tom yum etc) and the one and only non-spicy one was the herbal one. We choose tom yum and the herbal soups for both our soups. I personally find the taste of the soups rather weird. The variety of food is not much, just the normal and cheap ones. There's salmon as well but there's lots of bone in it. Surprisingly, the cooked food was not too bad. But for $23, I think I can get better and quality food elsewhere. The place was quite cramp inside but there's seats outside though.

Bakerzin for desserts after dinner! No photog allowed for the display of cakes though. We got a tiramisu cake ($6.50) and Blackforest Cheesecake ($6.50). The tiramisu is the bomb!! Blackforest Cheesecake didn’t do too badly, the first few mouthfuls were great but cheesecake being cheesecake, we got sick of it after too many mouthfuls. So I think it’s good to share. But the tiramisu was so nice I think anyone can polish it off. Bakerzin has very awesome desserts in my opinion and has never let me down before and I think it’s really a good place to catch up with all your friends! Good to give it a try! Note that plain water is not FOC!

We went for the DIY pancakes buffet that lasted from 3pm to 6pm! Kids-$8, Students-$10, Adults-$12, GST not inclusive.

There’s quite a few flavours for the batter to choose from, original buttermilk, pandan, strawberry, chocolate etc but we choose the original one and pandan one! There’s butter and chocolate sauce on the table already, so the rest of the toppings you have to walk to the front and take it using the small metal cups/bowls to choose! Anyway there's not much toppings to choose from since it's only $10+.We were so excited to get started so our first few shapes were rather normal like circles before we really started doodling. And one of the staff asked us if we want to take a photo!! We finished the two bottles of batter quite fast though. So we asked for refill. When we said to refill both, I think the person was rather sceptical that we can finish the next 2. Should have listened though because we ate until very full. Anyway the heat of the stove is adjustable, so don’t wory about burning your pancakes, because apparently they never will. We turned up the heat but we still had some time to take photos of what we doodled.

Overall, the food is not exceptional because it's just pancakes. But the fun bit is that you get to do it yourself and you don't have to clean up the mess! One tip though, come arm with your own water, unless you're willing to pay for the free flow water for $1!
