I have not been to any AYCE hot pot for ages!! I do have an A-OK experience at Hipot Hot Pot Restaurant.
Love the hours they are open.... yes till 2 AM! Great to have a midnight snack after Karaoke, Clubbing and Elite Event...
For the after hours there are 2 menus for you to choose from Beef ($12.95) or Seafood ($14.95).
The Beef selections only have the plain chicken soup as a spicy loving person in order to upgrade one of the soup based to satay there is a surcharges of $4. The Seafood selections give you 3 soup based to choose from and have a platter of shrimps, oyster, mussels and enoki mushrooms.
The Satay Soup base is pretty good, has a lot of flavours and a strong taste of satay. Cannot comment on the Thousand year old eggs with parsley soup base since I did not have any.
The food wise I found them quite fresh.. nothing were frozen solid and all have good presentation. The 2 oysters were sizable. The thing I love are the freshly made meatballs.. not those one that from the package,
There is also 3 desserts to choose, we opt for Herbal Jello and Mango Pudding both taste A-OK.
The only thing is you only allow 1 glass of sour plum drink.. if you want tea there is an extra $1.50 charge...
Maybe since we come late at night and the restaurant was not busy at all, Me and my clothes did not smell like Satay or I been cooking in the kitchen the whole night.
