Thank you, Haidilao! Pig’s blood is seriously a must-order for hotpot!
1. Pig Blood Curd Returns to Haidilao Singapore
Hotpot lovers, rejoice! After a massive 27-year hiatus from the local food scene, a nostalgic favorite is finally making its grand return. Haidilao Singapore is leading the charge, officially adding pig blood curd to its islandwide menus starting May 28, 2026.
For the uninitiated, pig blood curd—often celebrated for its smooth, gel-like, and signature “QQ” springy texture—is a holy grail hotpot ingredient. Because it acts like a sponge, the longer it simmers in your favorite soup base, the more intensely flavorful it becomes. Beyond its culinary nostalgia, it’s also traditionally prized for being a nutritional powerhouse, rich in iron and protein.
To celebrate this monumental comeback, Haidilao is slashing prices for a limited-time launch promotion running from now to 30 June, 2026 (while stocks last):
– Islandwide Outlets: S$3++ per portion (U.P. S$6++)
– Marina Bay Sands Outlet: S$4++ per portion (U.P. S$8++)
Whether you’re looking to relive a taste of the past or adventurous enough to try it for the very first time, lock in your reservations. This is one food trend nearly three decades in the making!
