The Roasted Chicken was made on the spot and had to wait approximately 20minutes. For the sake of having the dish fresh and hot, the wait I guess is worthy?The fish maw soup is a good alternative in replace of sharks fin soup. More environmental friendly and nature conserving. People who is anti sharks fin soup can order this dish instead.The Sambal Kang Kong and the signature boil white chicken is a hor favourite for many. Afterall, it's their signature dish right.

A good chinese local meal for a group gathering or family gathering.

Dont under estimate this salad. This salad comes with Umi's Specially made wafu mixed sesame oil sauce that smells really fragrance and taste really refreshing. Comes with carrot strips, cucumber strips, lettuce slices, corns and some ginger pickles. Totally made dieting not as bad as it seems and taste.

However, I realise that not every branch sells this salad as the branch at Nex dont. If you want something to go along with the salad, you can also purchase the one that comes with hard boiled egg or salmon slices to go along to make a healthier balance meal.

Don belittle the plain porridge they sell! The plain porridge is actually sweet potato porridge and it cost less than $3 and say, if you find it too miserable, you can actually order egg/ century egg/ salted egg to go along which cost less than $2 each as well. A good alternative if you want something light or cash-saving in town area.

Since the dinner group consist of people all staying around northeast area (Especially Serangoon) we thought of just walking into any random restaurant in Nex would be a nice and easy idea. Big mistake. we totally under estimated the amount of people flooding the mall on a Valentines Day. (Okay my bad. I always thought people would pick a better place to celebrate than a neighbourhood mall.)

After screening quite a few makan places and realise prices have been jerked up like mad, we kinda stumbled into this restaurant 'DANRO Japanese Hot Pot' and thought that the price is not too scary considering it is afterall a buffet hotpot restaurant.

DANRO Japanese Hot Pot @ Serangoon Nex serves hot pots from the different regions in Japan (Nagoya, Kyoto, Hokkaido, Akita, Tokyo, Nara, Shikoku, Fukuoka and Osaka). Currently Danro offers customers a choice of 8 different kind of soup base: Wafu, Wafu Miso, Chicken Miso, Tonkotsu, Chicken & Milk, Chicken Spicy, Chicken Paitan and Tonkotsu Miso. Which out of curiousity i picked Chicken & Milk and Tonkotsu soup base for a try.

I have to admit the chicken milk broth is rather weird for my taste bud and my friend and I ended up stealing food from another table of friends that picked Chicken Miso and Chicken Spicy instead. If you do not have a adventurous taste bud I would really suggest you to try some other broth although it seems that chicken & milk broth are more of their specialty. Another interesting thing about this place is that they serve rice skewers thatcan be dipped into the hot pot soup or eaten with DANRO's Dips.

This place also serves side dishes along with their buffet hotpot such as sushi, Onsen Eggs (my love!), Japanese style potato salad, cakes and desserts.
