🍲PARADISE HONG KONG STYLE INDIVIDUAL HOTPOT BUFFET
Paradise Hotpot VivoCity’s Premium Set seafood option came with the Lala Soup Base– that light, naturally sweet clam broth with its clean oceanic depth is scrumptious and pairs so perfectly with everything I grabbed.
Crisp lettuce – love how it wilts just enough to soak up the sweet clam essence while staying refreshing.
Prawn paste – the ebiko version was bouncy and full of prawn sweetness; when it cooked, it turned into these fluffy, juicy balls that burst with flavour.
Thinly sliced potato – surprisingly awesome in hotpot, they turned soft and starchy, absorbing the lala broth.
Delicate fish slices – super fresh, they cooked in seconds and stayed silky-smooth with a mild sweetness that matched the broth perfectly.
Tender pork slices – thin shabu-shabu style, they curled up nicely and added a richer meaty contrast without overpowering the seafood vibe.
Plump scallops – these were the star; seared lightly on the edges, then submerged for that milky, sweet tenderness that made the broth even sweeter.
Everything cooked quickly in the gently simmering lala soup, turning it richer and more intense as the meal went on – that natural clam sweetness layered with prawn, scallop, and fish juices was pure indulgence.

If you're new to hotpot or visiting Paradise Hotpot VivoCity, here are some tips to enhance your dining experience. The Lala Soup Base is a standout because of its light, clam-infused broth that complements a variety of ingredients without overpowering them. I found that cooking thinly sliced vegetables like potatoes and crisp lettuce in this broth not only softens them but also lets them soak up a bright sweetness that balances well with the seafood. Adding prawn paste with ebiko was a delightful surprise. When cooked, it forms juicy, flavorful balls that add texture and a burst of prawn sweetness to each spoonful. If you enjoy seafood, don’t miss the plump scallops—they’re seared slightly to enhance their natural sweetness then gently simmered to keep them tender and juicy. For those who like a touch of meat, the tender pork slices provide a nice contrast to the seafood elements while maintaining a subtle richness. Cooking thin slices quickly helps them stay tender and absorb the essence of the broth. From my experience, it's best to add delicate fish slices last since they cook very quickly and offer a silky texture that melts in your mouth. Watching the broth deepen in flavor as the seafood juices blend in is pure indulgence. A tip for newcomers: avoid overfilling your bowl to enjoy the full range of flavors and textures. Taking your time to savor each ingredient, especially in a premium set, makes a memorable and satisfying dining adventure at Paradise Hotpot VivoCity. Whether you're a seasoned steamboat lover or trying Hong Kong-style hotpot for the first time, this place is a hidden gem worth exploring.
