Red Lips @ Jewel Changi Airport - Largest New-age Mala Tang Chain from Shanghai Arrived In Singapore

Red Lips, the largest new-age mala tang chain from Shanghai, has opened its first-ever overseas outlet at Jewel Changi Airport. With over 40 outlets in China within five years of its establishment, diners can customise their hotpot-in-a-bowl with 45 food items, authentic hotpot base and secret spices.

The 45 items include seafood, meat and vegetables, noodles and other speciality offerings. These ingredients are handpicked and selected for their freshness, quality and taste. It is unlike most mala fragrant pot stalls that serve frozen ingredients.

Customers will be handed an ordering sheet to tick the ingredients they want, give it to the cashier, pay, and the staff will pick the ordered ingredients. Instead of cooking the raw ingredients in hot boiling water which is bland, they are boiled in a flavoursome stock that has been boiled for hours.

What holds everything together is the secret spicy sauce that comprises of peppercorns, and a blend of over 20 ingredients and spices. It has a bold, full-bodied flavour with depth, leaving a pleasing and lingering aftertaste. I would recommend mixing it up with the creamy sesame sauce which kicks up the flavours by several notches. The sauces really go well with the ingredients and its very convenient for takeaway.

The winner for Red Lips is their fresh ingredients and delicious sauces that lifted the whole enjoyment. Prices starting from $0.90 is quite reasonable; however, the portion needs to be more generous. I have my colleague complaining that $0.90 only gets her 2 strands of spinach. The food is excellent, and I really hope the portion can be more generous to win more loyal fans.

HANS IM GLUCK @ Vivocity - Get Thrice As Lucky With Their Brand New Menu Of Grill-ty Pleasures

German Burgergill originating from Munich, HANS IM GLUCK is known for its gourmet burger concept and creating burgers that are unique, healthy and delicious. Together with German draft beers and cocktail mixology, diners get to enjoy a mystical "dining in the woods" experience sitting amongst birch trees and oak furniture.

Entering into its third year in Singapore, the restaurant launches a completely refreshed menu in October, featuring 10 new burgers across the different patty categories, including two new vegan burgers with a plant-based patty, and vegan cheese, a first in Singapore. Following the introduction of its new burgers, HANS IM GLUCK now has the most extensive vegan and vegetarian burger selection in town boasting over 16 different options to choose from.

KRAFTPAKET 4/5

Bite into the juicy beef patty of the KRAFTPAKET ($17++), which comes enveloped in a beautiful black pepper crust to complement the beef flavours, and wonderfully blends the two complementary tastes. Round it off with strips of crispy bacon and a sunny side-up egg.

LANDGOCKEL 3.8/5

Another new addition is their LANDGOCKEL ($17++) which marries a perfectly grilled tender and juicy chicken breast with mushrooms, giving the burger a woody, earthy flavour. Topped it off with a sunny side up egg with a runny yolk to meld all the elements together.

From the thirst quencher selection, we had their Original Raspberry Basil which mixes the sweet-sour flavour of the raspberry with the peppery notes of basil for a refreshing drink. The Eistee Forest Berry & Cucumber is a different take on the classic ice lemon tea, featuring sweet forest berries infused with refreshing cucumber.
