Tucked away in habourfront centre, it took me quite awhile to find this restaurant. But it's worth it! The staff was really friendly and handed us the menus promptly as soon as we were seated. As it was a cold day, I decided to have the beef hotpot ($13.9) and a drink called three colours ($5.9). Three colours is actually just a drink like the dessert chendol. But I guess there's too much ice in it that I had to scoop it out as it wasn't melting fast enough for me to drink or eat the jellies tha

Three colours is actually just a drink like the dessert chendol. But I guess there's too much ice in it that I had to scoop it out as it wasn't melting fast enough for me to drink or eat the jellies that were at the bottom of the glass. Taste wise, not alot of wow factor as it just taste like the chendol dessert and abit pricey at $5.90. There's alot of unique drinks on the menu so you definitely should try one of those drinks that you don't see often.
The beef hotpot is just kind of like the japanese shabu-shabu, where you dip the thin pieces of beef into the soup and let it cook for as long as you like. A good suggestion is to dip it with soy sauce and chilli after taking it out from the soup. There were cabbage, golden mushrooms, mushrooms and tofu! Somehow the soup itself was already quite savoury even without the beef. It comes with a bowl of rice as well.
The staff were really friendly and helpful with our requests when we asked for warm water, and the manager himself even went out to take orders from the customers. There weren't alot of crowd even during dinner time probably because the location is rather obscure, and not situated at location where many people will walk past. This makes dining even more enjoyable with lesser crowd, good food and friendly service!
