Cafe Jubilant (欢乐家) @ Millenia Walk - Unveils All-You-Can-Eat Hotpot From $18.90++

Cafe Jubilant (欢乐家) at Millenia Walk has launched an all-you-can-eat hotpot concept that offers a generous variety of dishes, comforting flavours, and wallet-friendly prices, starting at $18.90++ per person. Known as a casual Asian quick-serve restaurant during weekday lunches, the space transforms into a bustling hotpot haven from 4pm to 10pm on weekdays and all day from 11am to 10pm on weekends and public holidays.

The hotpot concept is thoughtfully tiered into three curated set menus, ensuring there is something for every appetite. Diners seated at the same table must select the same set. Prices range from $18.90++ to $38.90++ on weekdays and from $20.90++ to $42.90++ on weekends.

The hotpot journey begins with a choice of eight freshly brewed soup bases, including comforting and punchy options such as Peeled Chilli Chicken Soup, Curry Soup, Japanese Bonito Soup, Szechuan Mala Soup, Clear Chicken Soup, and 9 Herbs Chicken Soup.

Guests can choose from three thoughtfully curated tiers of indulgence:

Pork & Chicken Value Set – The perfect entry point into the hotpot experience, this set offers unlimited servings of sliced pork belly, sliced pork collar, assorted marinated meats, chicken paste, and chicken wantons, among other comforting staples.

Beef & Seafood Premium Set – Stepping things up a notch, this elevated tier includes everything found in the Value Set, complemented by premium additions such as USA beef, Australian sliced pork collar, sliced lamb, ebiko prawn paste, white clams, and more.

Claypot Fish Head Deluxe Set – Designed for the discerning diner, this top-tier option combines items from previous sets. It culminates in exclusive highlights, including fried fish head, fried fish meat, Australian sliced wagyu, and Japanese pork.

While the chosen set determines the proteins and seafood selection, the rest of the hotpot experience remains wonderfully expansive, with an abundance of free-flow ingredients to complete the feast.

Beyond the proteins, diners are free to indulge in over 100 free-flowing ingredients, ranging from assorted fishballs, fishcakes, and meatballs to mushrooms, leafy vegetables, and noodles — offering endless combinations for your bubbling pot.

In addition to the feast, there are unlimited cold dishes, fresh fruits, and a sauce station where diners can create their own personalised dipping sauces.

For those who enjoy fried delights, the deep-fried station is a crowd-pleaser for both kids and adults. Expect favourites such as Spring Roll, Fried Mantou, French Fries, Nugget, Youtiao, and more.

There is also a hot station with rotating cooked dishes, all free-flow. Highlights of my visit included Pork Ribs, Curry Chicken, Braised Chicken Feet, and Lotus Leaf Glutinous Rice. Fans of Taiwanese cuisine will be pleased to find comforting staples like Braised Pork Belly Rice and Tea Eggs (茶叶蛋).

The meal concludes on a satisfying note with free-flow desserts and drinks, including Mango Sago, Red Bean Soup, refreshing beverages, and Soft Serve Ice Cream. 

Value-seekers will appreciate the added perks: students and senior citizens receive a $3 discount Monday to Friday before 6pm (excluding public holidays) with valid passes. Families dining together will also be delighted to know that children under 5 dine for free.

With its extensive spread, approachable pricing, and family-friendly perks, Cafe Jubilant’s all-you-can-eat hotpot concept offers an impressive and satisfying dining option right in the heart of the city.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Embu @ Mandarin Oriental Singapore - Welcomes the Year of The Horse With a Lineup of Festive and Indulgent Delights

Mandarin Oriental Singapore welcomes the Year of the Horse with a lineup of festive and indulgent delights. At Embu, from 2 February to 3 March 2026, the restaurant's extensive local and international buffet is made even more sumptuous with the addition of Lunar New Year specials.

Lobster and Beetroot Cured Salmon Yu Sheng 4.8/5

Guests dining in groups of four or more are treated to a complimentary Lobster and Beetroot Cured Salmon Yu Sheng. For the first time, Embu introduces its own Japanese fusion rendition of Yu Sheng, a nutrient-rich interpretation topped with wakame, shibazuke, and roasted sesame, served with a house-made tangy yuzu ponzu sauce. Refreshingly restrained and not doused in oil, this lighter and healthier version delighted with its freshness and satisfying textural crunch.

Golden Pumpkin Crab Meat Soup 3/5

A more luxurious soup option follows in the form of Golden Pumpkin Crab Meat Soup. While the bowl was generous with sweet crab meat, it leaned slightly on the saltier side.

Prosperity Yam Basket with Sweet and Sour Pork 5/5

Next up was the Prosperity Yam Basket with Sweet and Sour Pork. The yam basket was a highlight. It was fluffy on the inside, with a light, delicate crust and subtle seasoning. It paired beautifully with the juicy, tangy morsels of sweet-and-sour pork, creating an indulgent yet well-balanced bite.

Braised Sea Cucumber with Mushrooms and Seasonal Vegetables 4/5

To encounter a dish like Braised Sea Cucumber with Mushrooms and Seasonal Vegetables on a buffet spread is nothing short of extravagant. The sea cucumber was gelatinous and tender, while the accompanying ingredients were well-cooked through, flavoursome without being overwhelmed by sauce.

Chinese Preserved Meat Rice Wrapped in Lotus Leaf 5/5

The Chinese Preserved Meat Rice Wrapped in Lotus Leaf didn't disappoint. The rice was deeply fragrant, generously studded with preserved meats and layered with chestnuts, ginkgo nuts, and mushrooms, offering a delightful interplay of flavours and textures.

Crispy Nian Gao 4/5

Desserts were divine, but the one that truly signalled the arrival of the Lunar New Year was the Crispy Nian Gao with Sweet Potato and Yam. Warm and oozy nian gao sandwiched between sweet potato and yam made for a comforting and nostalgic treat, a homely classic not to be missed.

The Lunar New Year special is priced at SGD 78++ per person for lunch and SGD 98++ per person for dinner.
