9. Uncle Fong Hotpot Introduces Kampung Chicken Tower and Natural Broth
Uncle Fong Hotpot is excited to bring the latest sensation from China to Singapore — the Freshly Chopped Kampung Chicken Tower (S$29.80). This dish features tender, boneless Kampung chicken and various innards. Unlike conventional farmed chickens, Kampung chickens are free-range, giving the meat a leaner texture, firmer bite, and a richer, more authentic flavour that only intensifies as it simmers in the hotpot.
Complementing this is their new preservative-free Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Broth, available in Small (S$22.80) and Large (S$29.80) sizes. Brewed daily with a wholesome blend of apple, white pear, corn, tomato, sugarcane, red dates, water chestnut, and coriander, the broth is naturally sweet and light, making it the perfect base for your hotpot feast.
Best of all, Uncle Fong Hotpot uses only real ingredients with no additives, so you can savour your meal without worrying about any lingering hotpot smell on your clothes or hair.
Oh, and one more thing — Uncle Fong Hotpot has now waived both service charge and GST, making your dining experience even more enjoyable!
