Paradise Group’s Paradise Hotpot has been popular for its hotpot buffet since its launch in Compass One at Sengkang, and now they’ve opened their second outlet in the heart of Jurong, on the third floor of Westgate.
The buffet is priced affordably starting at $19.90/pax, with a dining limit of 80 minutes. The most value-for-money option is during their Tea Time, between 2.30pm and 4.30pm on Weekdays.
Diners can also opt for the Value or Premium Set, where the latter offers additional exclusive ingredients. The prices are as follows:
Value Set
Lunch (11.30am to 2.30pm): $23.90
Tea Time (2.31pm to 4.30pm): $19.90
Dinner (4.31pm to 10pm, last seating 8.30pm): $29.90
Premium Set
Lunch (11.30am to 2.30pm): $29.90
Tea Time (2.31pm to 4.30pm): $25.90
Dinner (4.31pm to 10pm, last seating 8.30pm): $37.90
Do note that there is an additional $3 surcharge per pax on Weekends and Public Holidays, while students and senior citizens (60 years and above) can enjoy a $3 discount per pax on Weekdays before 4.30pm, excluding Public Holidays.
Paradise Hotpot Buffet 4.2/5
In addition to its regular offerings, Paradise Hotpot has introduced three brand new soup bases: Century Egg with Coriander Soup, Satay Soup, and Clear Chicken Soup, adding to their lineup of nine, all freshly brewed in-house daily.
Both Value and Premium Sets include access to a whole range of unlimited snacks, cooked food, condiments, beverages and desserts.
The buffet's cooked food selection is a highlight, featuring Hong Kong-style dishes like Cantonese Steamed Rice with Preserved Meat, Braised Mixed Beef Offal, Ee Fu Noodles, Glutinous Rice Siew Mai with Mushroom and Curry Fish Ball.
There were a variety of snacks as well, including Fried Fish Beancurd Roll, Golden Crispy Prawn Cake, Crispy Pork Strips, Fried Chicken Wing and more.
I was pleasantly surprised to see a bubbling pot of Tea Egg available too. These were thoroughly braised and flavourful.
We liked how each diner has their own individual pot, as this means that everyone gets their preferred base. We were spoilt for choice among the broths and finally decided on the Authentic Pork Bone Soup Base and a vegetarian option, the Cordycep Flower with Mushroom Soup Base.
The pork bone soup base was flavourful and comforting, while the mushroom base is a good choice if you are looking for something nourishing and light. Broth refills were also available at each table to conveniently top up through the meal.
Most ingredients are available self-service, but diners can also order via QR code to have items delivered directly to their table.
The Premium Set included exclusive ingredients such as Sliced US Short Plate, Fresh Scallop, Scallop Seafood Paste, and more.
Our favourites from the Premium list of ingredients were the crunchy sweet Fresh White Sea Prawn, fresh Sliced Snakehead and tender Sliced Spanish Pork Collar.
Fans of Beauty in the Pot will be thrilled to know that the refreshing Yuzu Slush is available here but free-flow, along with hot tea and soft drinks.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the quality and variety of food for the price. The only drawback was the 80-minute time limit, so it's best to order promptly and keep track of time to enjoy fully.
