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 stumbl
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.
