4. Hai Di Lao
A supper list would be sorely incomplete without Hai Di Lao. The steamboat chain is known and loved for its mala (numbingly hot) soup base, and the best part is that you can customise how spicy you’d like it to be. Another must-try is the mildly spicy umami-filled Tomato Soup broth, which is perfect for dipping slices of pork belly.
Must-tries: Mala Soup Base, Tomato Soup Base, Korobuta Pork, Hand-made Shrimp Cakes
Outlets including its latest one at Vivocity #03-09 1 Harbourfront Walk; Opening hours: 10:30am – 6am
