Chamoon Hot Pot (享月汤皇) has opened its first overseas outlet in Scotts Square, expanding its Sichuan-based origins across China, where it has more than 30 branches. Originally a soup restaurant, Chamoon evolved into a hotpot brand due to its popular, nourishing vegetarian broths.
Apart from à la carte dishes, diners can choose curated sets for 2 to 6 people. The Tiger Prawns, Abalone, and Premium Beef Set for 2 ($134++/pax or $149++/pax for members) is one option, offering a range of premium ingredients like A4 Japanese Wagyu, Hokkaido Iberico Pork, Tiger Prawns, 5-head Abalones, and more.
The main dining area is quite spacious, catering to both small gatherings and larger groups. Induction cookers are seamlessly integrated into each table, giving diners their own individual pots. For those seeking privacy, private rooms are available for reservation with a minimum spend.
Chamoon Hot Pot 3.5/5
The menu offers six nourishing soup bases, including the signature Truffle-Based Matsutake Mushroom, Beauty-Enhancing Papaya Tomato, Singapore-exclusive Mala, True Morel Mushrooms, Bamboo Fungus, and Cordyceps Mushroom.
Truffle Based Matsutake Mushroom
I opted for Chamoon’s signature Truffle-Based Matsutake Mushroom Soup ($9.90), renowned for its earthy depth and pleasant aroma. The broth was light yet flavourful and retained its nourishing quality without becoming overly salty after cooking several ingredients.
The individual hotpot portions were especially appreciated, as they allowed each diner to personalise their meal.
Braised Delicacies Platter
We were served a chilled starter. The Braised Delicacies Platter ($44) featured two cuts of beef with slices of lotus root.
Meats
Meat lovers can indulge in a variety of premium options, such as A4 Japanese Wagyu, Japanese Kurobuta Pork, Hokkaido Iberico Pork, and Grain-Fed Angus.
Norwegian Salmon
We also tried the Norwegian Salmon ($38), which could be enjoyed raw due to its sashimi-grade freshness or cooked briefly in the broth. However, the raw salmon wasn’t as buttery as we had hoped, and we found the price too steep.
Tiger Prawns
The standout seafood dish was the Tiger Prawns ($14.80), which the service staff kindly peeled for us. After a short time in the broth, the prawns came out crunchy and sweet, maintaining their natural flavour.
Fresh 5-Head Abalone
The Fresh 5-Head Abalone ($29), while tender with a slight chew, didn’t leave a strong impression.
Vegetables
Matsutake Mushroom Dumplings
We got to try the Matsutake Mushroom Dumplings ($12.80), but unfortunately, the dumpling skin was slightly doughy. Otherwise, the juicy filling was well-seasoned.
Truffle Fried Rice
The fragrant Truffle Fried Rice ($22 for Small, $32 for Large) won the table with its balanced flavour. We enjoyed the slight char and the truffle’s lack of overwhelm.
Overall, Chamoon’s individual hot pots and nourishing broths were the highlight for us, but we found the prices of the ingredients to be too steep for its quality.
