Chaoniu Hot Pot Cháo Niú Niú Ròu Huǒ Guō

No travel plans for our June break thus we decided to go for staycation and review some of the restaurants in my list. Always love beef and together with hotpot, they make the best combination. We went with Chao Niu hotpot at Duo and it did not disappoint. Service from this restaurant is ranked one of my top three, it is this good. It is a very small cosy dark place, super ideal for gathering and couples who want to avoid the usual popular hotpot places. We ordered their signature beef broth and also 3 different beef cuts. They also have hot dishes, we went with the fried oyster omelette and it was good but maybe the chill may need some work. Other than their delicious beef, you would also need to order their thick vermicelli, it was a perfect match with the beef broth. There are other cuts of meat that I have yet to try so maybe I will visit them again someday.

Ordered the clear beef broth and the collagen soup... the collagen is a must order! not too over powering... the beef platter was good enough to taste the different kinds of cuts... and to our surprise, they have amarone ! which is a 4.4 on vivno... will visit again soon...

Beef lovers must check out their $158 Beef Feast! Me and my 3 beef loving friends were completely satisfied with this meal! Quoting my friend, “Wow so full, but it’s a good kind of full.”

Love the clear broth that is just perfect for all the beef that we had. Not sure how authentic it is as have not been to Chaosan for a beef feast hotpot. Quite happy with this one for those of us who loves beef We had the half Calf set for an assortment of about 5 different cuts of beef, meatball rice vermicelli. Love the quaint super cute vegetable platter that came in a cow shaped container. For lunch, there is also the price friendly set lunch at $19.90 for a single pax serving. Ordering is pretty smooth with QR code ordering payment is thru the app itself too. Service is super friendly efficient. The servers were pretty good in assisting to cook the beef ensuring that it's at it's optimum cooking time to ensure that beef is perfectly cooked. Can't wait to be back!

Tried out their $158 Beef Feast which consisted of: Cheek Neck Chuck Sirloin Blade Topside Shank Flank Meatball platter Beef offal platter Vegetable platter Chaozhou Vermicelli The entire feast was amazingly delicious and good for serving 3 4pax. I have ordered their signature Chao Shan Beef Broth which was light and not overpowering. Eventually it will becoming very tasty and appetising. Some of my favourite were the beef neck, cheek, tender beef balls and beef offal platter. And for forgetting to mention that their dipping sauces were superb, especially the Shacha sauce and Thai sauce. The whole set came with complimentary fruit platter.
