No matter the occasion or however much we yearn for comfort, inevitably, soup will always be for the soul. Beauty in The Pot is one of my go-tos because they not only incorporate delicious steaming pots of soup, but they also use nourishing healthy soup bases that come with beauty benefits.

Birthdays, anniversaries, celebrations or any ordinary day – These are the occasions that call for hotpot. For me, it’s almost natural to decide on steamboat as the meal of choice just because of the convenience and comfort that the whole experience brings.

However, I can’t help but feel pressured by the array of ingredients to choose from. From premium picks to steamboat staples, the selection is endless.

Spoilt for choice? Not to worry, I’ve got you covered. Experience the richness of beauty with ease as I recommend 10 must-try items to order at Beauty in The Pot for a divine premium dining experience.

1. Signature Homemade Fish Tofu

The Signature Homemade Fish Tofu (S$3 per piece) is made from yellowtail fish, soybean and egg white. Moulded by the skilful expertise of the chef, this delicate tofu that resembles a koi fish is blended into a buttery melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Despite being categorised under Beancurd, it is a far cry from your usual tofu. Yielded from the briny essence of the yellowtail fish, it has a subtly sweet flavour that is swimmingly addictive. While you can eat it on its own, I enjoy pairing it with a spoonful of Beauty in The Pot’s Beauty Collagen Broth (S$10.80/ S$17.80/ S$34.80), which features shark’s cartilage for a creamier flavour profile. 

2. Ebiko Prawn Paste

For those who are part of the I-hate-deshelling-prawns club, the Ebiko Prawn Paste (S$19.80) is a no-frills dish that will satisfy your longing for shrimps without dirtying your hands!

Definitely a hot favourite among their Speciality Homemade Paste Selection, this paste is essentially finely minced shrimp that has been de-shelled and devein, but marinated and mixed into a paste-like texture. Once cooked, bite into that freshly-cured shrimp roe that provides an oceanic burst of flavours which will have you popping ball to ball in your mouth. While you are at it, be sure to pop in a Fish Paste (S$11.50) too.

3. Assorted Ball Platter

If you want to experience the definition of QQ, the Assorted Ball Platter (S$13.90) is where it is at. Consisting of up to 4 different varieties of Handmade Balls – think Teochew Style Fish Ball (U.P. S$5.50/ S$11), Black Pepper Pork Meat Ball (U.P. S$6/ S$12) and Soft Bone Pork Meat Ball (U.P. S$6/ S$12) in one serving. 

Hand-rolled to perfection, the platter greatly complements clean-tasting broths like Immunity Clear Chicken Broth (Contains Pork)(S$9.50/ S$16/ S$28.80) or even the Spicy Nourishing Broth (Pork Bone Soup Base)(S$9.50/ S$16/ S$28.80)

4. Four-Colour Assorted Dumplings Platter

Yup, it is exactly what its name is. The Four-Colour Assorted Dumpling Platter (S$9.90) is a vibrant mix of red Szechuan Mala Dumpling (U.P. S$4.40/ S$8.80), grey Chive and Pork Dumpling (U.P. S$4.40/ S$8.80), brown Mushroom and Pork Dumpling (U.P. S$4.40/ S$8.80) and green Vegetable Dumpling (U.P. S$4.40/ S$8.80).

Packed with assorted ingredients, each dumpling brings something new to the table, and to your palate. My personal favourite? The Chive and Pork Dumpling is a must-try.

5. Hokkaido Pork Belly

Protein is a staple in every hearty hotpot meal. It has to be, as meaty juices enunciate the primary soup base’s flavour, making you reach out for more. Among Beauty in The Pot’s Japanese Pork selection is the Hokkaido Pork Belly (S$13/ S$26), unsurprisingly a popular choice, as it is as versatile as wagyu for beef.

The half portion is served at 100g while the full portions of meat are served at 200g. One word of advice is to not leave your pork belly slices in the broth for long, as they are all thinly sliced so it will cook really quickly.

6. US Wagyu Beef

One always needs variation in life, and who can ever say no to treating yourself to a good meal? So get another plate of US Wagyu Beef to feel atas. Undeniably, this dish is on the pricier end of the spectrum, as it costs S$29.40 for 100g and S$58.80 for 200g. However, note that Paradise Group does not scrimp on quality meats.

If you are unsure about how to cook beef, dip a slice of luxury into your piping hot broth of choice for about 30 seconds and you are good to go. Pair this with the usual Beauty Collagen Broth that will balance out the strong-tasting red meat.

7. Alaskan King Crab

I first tried the Alaskan King Crab (S$25.80) at a recent media tasting and I have not stopped thinking about it since. Complete with a shell, the crab is beautifully served as a whole. What’s more, each crab leg is generously loaded with succulent flesh that you cannot get enough of. 

Evidence? I clearly remember scraping every nook and cranny to dig out whatever crab meat I could find. Long story short, seafood aficionados, this is for you. 

8. Dragon Grouper

Out of these 10 dishes, I dare say that this is one of the most impressionable here. Why? 

I am not a fish-lover, but this Dragon Grouper (S$10.80) had me at choke-hold. Once swished around in a broth of your choice (the Beauty Collagen Broth is my pick again, of course), the fish’s once-opaque flesh transforms into a translucent beauty with a soft texture. 

If you prefer something fancier though, the red-scaled Coral Trout (S$18.80) has a marvellous mouthfeel that is premium at best. 

9. Premium Assorted Mushroom Platter

Had enough protein options and want something lighter on the palate now? Mushrooms are always a great option, so opt for the Premium Assorted Mushroom Platter (S$22.80). This is a, well, premium upgrade from its humble counterpart, the Assorted Mushroom Platter (S$18.90).

The platter features Fresh Golden Fungus (U.P. S$9.80), Coral Mushroom (U.P. S$9.80) and Morel Mushroom (U.P. S$13.80), so if you like variation, you will have plenty with this. The earthy, woody flavours from this platter are best paired with the Longevity Wild Pine Mushroom Broth (S$8.80/S$13.50/ S$24.80) – amazing for mushroom-lovers if you like herbaceous flavours.

10. Potato Wide Vermicelli

I realised that most of what is already listed are mainly absorbent ingredients. That is because Beauty in The Pot’s broths are amazingly delicious, and these dishes soak up all that flavour.

The Herbal Drunken Chicken Broth (S$9.50/ S$16/ S$28.80) is simmered over slow-fire for more than 2 hours, utilising fresh kampong chicken breast together with a myriad of premium herbs which make it taste heavenly. So, dunk several long strips of Potato Wide Vermicelli (S$4/ S$8) into this well-loved broth and your carbohydrate fix will be settled for the night.
