Chamoon Hot Pot (享月汤皇) @ Scotts Square - Up to 40% Off For The New Truffle Omakase Experience

Chamoon Hot Pot, China's top clear soup hotpot brand, has launched a new 12-course Truffle Omakase Menu in Singapore. Dubbed the "Hermès Set Menu of the Hot Pot World," this luxurious offering is available at just $99.80++ per person (minimum 2 diners), with up to 40% off in its launch weeks starting from 16 May 2025. We were invited to try this decadent hotpot experience.

The dipping sauce is served directly to your table, setting the tone for a seamless and personalised experience.

Appetiser Duo Platter 3.8/5

Our meal began with the Appetiser Duo Platter: Braised Firm Tofu (tau kwa) and Braised Pork. While the tofu was a tad dry, both were flavourful and well-seasoned, offering a hearty start to the omakase journey.

Salmon Sashimi 4/5

Another appetiser in the set is the thickly sliced and refreshingly chilled Salmon Sashimi. It stood out with its clean flavours and creamy texture. It paired beautifully with the classic soy sauce and wasabi combination. It is simple but satisfying.

The real star here is the soup. We tried both the Signature Matsutake and the Morel Mushroom broths. The Matsutake soup delivered a bolder, more umami-rich profile, with a depth that speaks of health and tradition. The broth is so comforting and layered that we recommend enjoying a few sips before adding the other ingredients — let the base shine first.

Signature Matsutake Fried Rice 4/5

The Matsutake Fried Rice was piping hot in a claypot. This mushroom-forward fried rice was delightfully fragrant and packed with umami. Though it lacked the coveted "crispy bottom" that claypot is known for, the flavour more than made up for it. We found ourselves craving more - it's that addictive.

"Hermès" Beef & Prawn Paste 4/5

The beautifully plated "Hermès" Beef & Prawn Paste platter lives up to its name with handcrafted paste made with tiger prawn, wagyu beef, matsutake mushrooms, and dragonfruit. It was delicately seasoned to highlight the seafood's natural sweetness and the beef's richness. The platter is smooth, bouncy, and luxurious with every bite.

Australian M9 Wagyu 4/5

Melt-in-your-mouth slices of top-grade Australian M9 Wagyu were a delight. Rich marbling gave each bite a buttery texture, and the beef cooked quickly in the hot broth while maintaining tenderness and depth.

Tiger Prawns and Kanto Sea Cucumber 4/5

The Tiger Prawns were plump, fresh and sweet. Bonus points for the servers offering to peel them for us. The Kanto Sea Cucumber from Hokkaido, known for its smooth and slightly chewy texture, added a unique and luxurious bite to the meal.

Yunnan Wild Mushroom & Vegetable Platter 3.8/5

This colourful Mushroom & Vegetable Platter featured a range of mushrooms and seasonal vegetables flown in from Yunnan. It balanced the meal with earthy, wholesome notes and paired well with the robust mushroom broth.

Daliangshan Buckwheat Tea 3.5/5

The meal is complemented by a pot of Daliangshan Buckwheat Tea, a caffeine-free brew with a toasted, nutty aroma reminiscent of roasted corn tea. It's an acquired taste, but one that works well to cleanse the palate. Each set also includes fruits and dessert of the day.

Chamoon's Truffle Omakase is a luxurious hotpot affair that redefines the dining experience, focusing on premium ingredients and nourishing, broth-forward indulgence. From the earthy richness of truffle-infused matsutake soup to the handcrafted "Hermès" prawn paste and melt-in-your-mouth Australian M9 wagyu, every course is thoughtfully curated to delight the senses while supporting wellness.

To celebrate its launch, enjoy up to 40% off this indulgent 12-course set:

• 40% off from 16–22 May
• 30% off from 23–29 May
• 20% off from 30 May–5 June

For those seeking a more intimate gathering, Chamoon also offers private rooms that seat up to 12 guests, with a minimum spend of $1,200 - perfect for special occasions or hosting a premium hotpot party in style.

Bedrock Origin @ Oasia Resort Sentosa - New Sunday Bottomless Brunch, The Harvest Table

Bedrock Origin at Oasia Resort Sentosa has just launched a hearty new Sunday brunch that's well worth getting out of bed for. Aptly named "The Harvest Table – Land and Sea", this bottomless brunch offers a delightful communal dining experience, served in the peaceful, resort-style setting of Sentosa.

Held every Sunday from 12pm to 3.30pm (last order at 3pm), The Harvest Table – Land and Sea brunch (4.2/5) is priced at $78++ per person and offers unlimited servings of a multi-course feast. A good number of dishes are served à la minute, where each dish is cooked to order. This ensures that the food arrives hot and fresh, reducing the food waste common in buffet-style dining. It is a nice option for family gatherings, as children aged 6 and under dine for free, while those aged 7 to 12 enjoy the full experience for $28++.

Flatbread with Roasted Garlic & Butter

Smoked Tomato Soup, Truffle Mushroom Soup, Burrata & Tomato Salad

Grilled Tiger Prawns

Begin your brunch experience with an enticing array of starters. Tear into warm, freshly baked Flatbread served with aromatic Roasted Garlic and Butter, alongside comforting options such as Bedrock's Smoked Tomato Soup and Truffle Mushroom Soup. Salad options include the Chargrilled Caesar Salad, Burrata with Tomato, Grilled Tiger Prawns and Jamon. I loved the creamy freshness of the burrata salad and had multiple servings!

Bedrock Mac 'N' Cheese

Beef Fat Fried Rice

Truffle Mashed Potatoes

Complement your meal with a variety of tasty side dishes, served tableside from a roving trolley. Highlights include Bedrock's indulgent Mac 'N' Cheese, Silky Truffle Mashed Potatoes, and the flavourful Beef Fat Fried Rice. I would've happily had a few more bowls if I weren't saving stomach space for the mains.

Sauteed Mushrooms

Woodfire Grilled Chilli Corn

Chargrilled Spicy Brussels Sprouts

Black Truffle Fries

For lighter options, Sautéed Mushrooms, Chargrilled Spicy Brussels Sprouts, and Woodfire Grilled Chilli Corn are available. The Truffle Fries, served hot and crispy, were also great. While it's tempting to fill up on these yummy sides, be sure to save room for the meat and seafood dishes.

Kombu Cured Tomahawk

French Black Pork Rack

Roasted Spatchcock Chicken

The Kombu-cured Tomahawk Steak leads the main course selection, though it might be too rare for some. Other meat options include a slow-cooked Lamb Shoulder, a French Black Pork Rack, and Roasted Spatchcock Chicken, which are all decent, hearty choices. Providing a few more sauces or hot gravy to go with the meat would have made it even better!

Pan-fried Barramundi Fillet

Deep-fried Fish Collar

Clams with White Wine

On the seafood side, there’s Pan-fried Barramundi Fillet, Deep-fried Fish Collar, and the chef’s selection, which during my visit featured a bowl of fresh Clams in White Wine Sauce. I enjoyed all three, but the fish collar stood out the most, with its crispy skin and tender, soft flesh inside.

Chilli Crab Linguine

There are also two pasta options - Carbonara and Chilli Crab Linguine. I tried the chilli crab linguine, but found the sauce lacking. There are also some teething issues with the service — my orders were missed a few times, and we had to gently remind the staff. Fortunately, the long brunch hours meant there was no need to rush.

Apple Crumble

We wrapped our brunch on a sweet note with Bedrock's signature Apple Crumble, served warm and perfectly spiced, complemented by a scoop of ice cream. It's sure to be a hit with both adults and children alike.

Lemon Cake

A cake trolley adds a charming touch, offering a selection of favourites like Chocolate, Banana, Lemon, and Carrot Cake. Unfortunately, the chocolate cake ran out early in the service, so I didn't try it. However, the lemon and carrot cake I tried was not bad.

Carrot Cake

For drinks, free-flow alcohol is available for just $28++. The offerings include Carlsberg Smooth Draught, Sapporo Premium, and classic cocktails like Mimosa and Bellini. Wine enthusiasts can enjoy Riondo Sparkling Rosé and selections from Casas del Toqui Single Estate: a Sauvignon Blanc and a Merlot.

The non-alcoholic beverage selection is priced at $10++. It offers a variety of refreshing options, such as Cranberry Juice, Pink Grapefruit Juice, Orange Juice, Coke, Coke Zero, Root Beer, Sprite, and Ginger Ale.

Banana Cake

Overall, The Harvest Table — Land and Sea was a satisfying and relaxed weekend brunch experience. The dishes were generally well-executed, and it is best enjoyed with a group so that you can try everything on the menu. Enjoy 10% off your bill when you pay with Mastercard®, applicable to the bottomless brunch menu only, not the drinks packages.

KAMO by London Fat Duck @ Orchard Rendezvous Hotel - Experience the Best of Japanese-Chinese Cuisine

Taking over the space once occupied by Akanoya Robatayaki & Bar, KAMO by London Fat Duck makes a bold entrance with a concept that artfully blends Japanese finesse with the depth of Chinese flavours. Crafted in collaboration with a Michelin-starred Japanese chef, the menu offers diners a refined yet hearty culinary experience that centres around duck, but stretches well beyond it.

Crystal Prawn Dumpling with Clam Sauce 4.5/5

We began the meal with the Crystal Prawn Dumpling with Clam Sauce ($12 for 4 pieces), a dish that was as elegant in appearance as it was in flavour. Each dumpling was filled with sweet, crunchy tiger prawn, wrapped in a translucent crystal skin, and crowned with ebi sakura and ikura. The highlight was the robust clam sauce, rich with crustacean essence and fragrant with Chinese wine that enveloped the dumplings, delivering a savoury punch with every bite.

Signature Braised Duck 4.5/5

Braised Taupok, Braised Ajitama Egg, Braised Peanut 4/5

The centrepiece of our dinner was the Signature Braised Duck ($58 Half / $108 Full), a dish that surprises with its roots in Japanese technique but unmistakably evokes the soulful taste of Chinese-style braised duck. The team cleverly uses premium ingredients such as Rishiri konbu, aged tangerine peel, and Japanese soy sauce to create a deeply flavourful, aromatic braising liquid. The use of London Fat Duck, a fattier, more tender breed that elevates the texture and richness of the dish. To complete the platter, diners can add on classic braised companions like Taupok, Ajitama Egg, and Braised Peanuts ($2 each), soaking up the rich sauce beautifully. Two dipping sauces, green chilli coriander and fermented soybean vinegar, offer a refreshing contrast and added depth.

Braised Elephant Fish Fin 5/5

A unique and sustainable alternative to shark fin soup, the Braised Elephant Fish Fin ($68) was a delightful discovery. Its gelatinous texture mimics the prized delicacy, but the addition of luscious crab roe and sweet crab meat truly brought the dish to life, resulting in a luxurious, umami-rich broth that was both comforting and indulgent.

Stir Fry Golden Fungus 4.2/5

The Stir-Fried Golden Fungus ($28) introduced a pleasant crunch with its use of rare Yunnan golden fungus, known for both its delicate texture and medicinal value. Tossed with seasonal vegetables and finished in a savoury seaweed sauce, the dish offered both elegance and balance.

Pan Roasted Tiger Prawn 4.2/5

Next came the Pan-Roasted Tiger Prawn ($28 per piece), presented with a creative twist. The prawn was plump and meaty, paired with juicy shimeji mushrooms, and served on a shell filled with XO rice enriched by ebi butter and prawn roe. The result was a rich, umami-packed combination that was both satisfying and indulgent.

Black Cod 4.5/5

Another standout was the Black Cod ($22 per pax), available steamed or deep-fried. We opted for the latter, and it didn’t disappoint. The skin was shatteringly crisp while the flesh remained buttery soft. The fermented black bean sauce added a bold, savoury layer that perfectly complemented the sweetness of the cod.

Wagyu Claypot Noodles 4.2/5

The Wagyu Claypot Noodles ($38) are a luxury delight. The Shanghai noodles in Fujian sauce are paired with succulent A5 Omi Gyu. The slurping goodness tastes like Malaysia Tai Lok Mee, with a delightful chewy texture.

Orh Nee 4/5

Dessert was a modern rendition of the Teochew classic, Orh Nee ($14 per pax). The velvety yam purée was paired with a scoop of coconut ice cream and drizzled with Okinawa brown sugar, offering a perfect balance of richness and sweetness. A crispy black sesame pastry added crunch and contrast, rounding the meal with textural satisfaction.

KAMO by London Fat Duck is a confident and refreshing concept that pays homage to both Chinese and Japanese culinary traditions. The duck dishes are undoubtedly the stars, but the supporting cast from crystal dumplings to XO rice and claypot noodles adds dimension and flair. Whether you're a fan of bold Chinese flavours or refined Japanese technique, KAMO delivers a compelling fusion worth returning to.
