Chamoon Hot Pot offers six soup broths: Cordyceps Hot Pot, Tomato Papaya Hot Pot, Matsutake Hot Pot, Spicy Hot Pot, Morels Pot, and Bamboo Fungus Pot.
Their ingredient selection includes Braised Veal Tendon ($40), Crispy Fried Ribbonfish ($32), and Braised Three Delicacies Platter ($44). For seafood, choose from Canadian Geoduck ($28/100g), Alaskan King Crab ($28/100g), and Leopard Coral Trout ($23.80/100g).

Pair your hot pot with Chinese teas like Biluochun Green Tea ($18) and Daliangshan Buckwheat Tea ($18), or opt for alcoholic beverages such as Jiang Xiaobai ($28) or Mei Jian (S: $32, L: $78).
Truffle Based Matsutake Mushroom Broth
We tried the Truffle-Based Matsutake Mushroom Broth ($9.90), which leaned more towards a rich, earthy mushroom flavour rather than a strong truffle presence.
The broth was light, offering a delicate taste that set it apart from heavier hotpot soups, making it a good choice for those who prefer a milder broths.
Tomato Papaya Hot Pot
The tomatoes in the Tomato Papaya Hot Pot ($9.90) are fried before simmering in the broth, helping to bring out their natural flavour. While the broth isn’t as rich as some other hot pot options, it still offers a subtle yet pleasant tomato taste that added a refreshing note.
Braised Delicacies Platter
The Braised Delicacies Platter ($44) consisted of Braised Veal Tendon, Lotus Root, and Braised Australian Beef Tongue.
Our favourite on the platter was the Braised Australian Beef Tongue, which had a nice texture and was well braised. The Lotus Root was flavorful and braised to a soft texture, while the Braised Veal Tendon could benefit from a longer braise, as it wasn’t as flavourful as expected for a braised meat.
Seafood
Norwegian Salmon
The Norwegian Salmon (S:$38, L:$59) was sliced into thick cuts, offering a fresh, buttery taste with a smooth, satisfying texture. It is a great option for those who enjoy sashimi.
Tiger Prawns
The Tiger Prawns ($14.80) came skewered, and a plus point is that the staff will de-shell them for you! Perfect for those who want to avoid messy hands!
The prawns were meaty and paired well with the savoury soy sauce on the side, adding a nice balance to the dish.
Fresh 5 Head Abalone
The Fresh 5-Head Abalone ($29/portion) were fresh and had a chewy texture but lacked a flavour on its own. It would benefit from dipping sauces or seasoning to enhance the taste.
Meat
A4 Japanese Wagyu
The A4 Japanese Wagyu (S:$86:L,$128) stood out with its buttery texture and well-balanced fat-to-meat ratio. The marbling throughout the beef was flavorful and complemented the light soup base.
New Zealand Lamb
For someone who isn’t usually a fan of lamb, the New Zealand lamb ($28) was surprisingly enjoyable. It lacked the typical gaminess often associated with lamb, offering a milder, more subtle flavour.
The meat was tender and well-prepared, with a tender texture that made it easy to appreciate, even for those who usually avoid lamb.
Hokkaido Pork
The Hokkaido Pork was a versatile choice, complementing both soup bases well. It’s tender and succulent meat offered a pleasant contrast to the more intense flavours in the broths with its natural sweetness.
Matsutake Dumplings
The Matsutake Dumplings (S;$7.80, L:$12.80) were packed with minced pork and mushroom filling. The savoury filling was well-balanced, with the earthy notes of matsutake mushrooms complementing the tender pork.
