Tong Xin Ru Yi Traditional Hotpot

In Singapore’s world of hot pot, there are big-name chains, quiet neighborhood spots, and places like Tong Xin Ru Yi. Instead of plastic tables or mismatched furniture, Tong Xin Ru Yi kind of looks like the set of an old-school kung fu film, with bamboo screens and rattan chairs. When it comes to the food, expect rich, flavorful broths and an extensive list of hotpot items, like black bone chicken, shrimp paste, and tasty mutton ribs. The sides are also worth exploring, including the marinated spicy beef sticks, the shake-shake pork (their vastly superior answer to popcorn chicken), and tempura-style fried mint leaves.
