Located right next to the Yong Tau Foo stall at the Food Republic at Causeway Point, you can also pick the ingredients you want to add to your hot pot. Even some of the ingredients are quite similar to the Yong Tau Foo stall, like the enoki mushroom, crab sticks, beancurd skin and vegetables among others. Of notable difference though is the array of meat available at the Hot Hot Pot stall. Unlike the Yong Tau Foo stall, this stall charges by the gram. Basically, the base price starts at $2.00 an
We ordered for two person to share and our ingredients consist of chicken meat, chinese sausage, crab stick, beancurd skin, enoki mushroom, vermicelli and even rice cake! Quite a weird mix I suppose, but that's the beauty of being able to choose what you want. You can also choose if you want it dry or with soup, as well as the level of spiciness for your pot base but we opted for the healthier non-spicy soup version, although it came looking a bit like Yong Tau Foo.
As we went during dinner time, there was quite a queue and we had to wait a while for the food to be prepared. It came in quite a big bowl although the portion was just nice for two person. The soup base was quite tasty but not overly salty for us. We liked that the chicken meat was well cooked and was quite meaty. Other than the chinese sausage, which didn't fare too well in soup, the rest of the food were just the right firmness and not soggy. My personal favourite was the rice cakes which were cut into slices and were slightly chewy. Wished I had taken more of those! We had a 10% discount for Passion Card members so our final total was about $10.50, which we thought was quite reasonable for two people. Overall, worth a try if you're looking for hotpot in the vicinity, although you might need to take note of the amount and weight of ingredients chosen to avoid a surprise when paying the bill.
