Yi Eating Theatre 奇味鸡煲. Spicy Hotpot Inward Kovan. Singapore |Johor Kaki Travels For Food

We gathered at Yi Restaurant 奇味鸡煲 inwards Kovan for China mode spicy hotpot. Aaron missed the spicy hotpots of Shanghai in addition to Yi Restaurant was the nearest affair to those inwards China that he came across inwards Singapore.



Yi Restaurant is a basic shoplot eatery. The laid upwardly is bare bones , informal , costless of frills. It was amount solid when nosotros were at that spot on a cool , rainy black ☔



The claypots sit down on transcend of induction hotplates - non real elegant in addition to thick cables run into the tabular array to the wall socket.



Pour inwards the thick spicy black soup , laid upwardly the ingredients inwards it in addition to consume lah! Everybody tin cook. It's a slap-up communal eating tradition in addition to Aaron said it kept him warm inwards Winter during his China days.



We had 2 pots , 1 to a greater extent than spicy in addition to 1 less spicy. We didn't become for the max spicy degree nor the lowest.  While Chinese spicy hotpots are oft real oily , Yi Restaurant's was non overly so. The season was salty-savoury spicy hot. The sense of savour was intense , peculiarly the hotter pot precisely at that spot was piddling aroma.



Additional ingredients are stocked inwards a fridge in addition to customers assist themselves to plates of it. The staff volition agree upwardly the amount terms at the halt of the repast past times counting the empty plates in addition to write the neb accordingly.



The outset affair that went inwards the hotpots were the large chunks of fresh chicken. I liked it every bit the centre was tender in addition to juicy , in addition to it had a overnice natural chicky sweetness which the spicy broth complemented.



We threw inwards lots of other assorted random things into the bubbling hotpots similar hungry teenagers celebrating the halt of exams 😁 Hotpots are fun that way. We had quail eggs , diverse soft in addition to fried tofu , ham , beef , wieners , vegetables , mushrooms , noodles etc etc.



The staff comes some to transcend upwardly the soup regularly. She too scooped inwards sauces every bit the transcend ups diluted the sense of savour of the soup.



Truth hold upwardly told , other than the fresh chicken , in addition to the fresh vegetables , the other ingredients tasted pretty generic. Most of the flavours came from the spicy broth clinging to the food. The spicy nutrient went real good amongst evidently white rice.



We enjoyed ourselves mainly because of the banter in addition to laughter some the table. Hotpot in addition to steamboat ever move for instruct togethers.

Towards the halt of the repast , fifty-fifty though I was totally stuffed , I even in addition to then reached for a bottle of mutual frigidness H2O every bit I was feeling thirsty in addition to hot.  

Our amount neb for 10 persons came to almost SGD190 including drinks.
