Imperial Treasure is known as one of the top names in Singapore’s Chinese restaurant scene, so you can expect great things from their hotpot arm: Imperial Treasure Steamboat. This is a hotpot restaurant you should visit for special occasions, as they even have eight private rooms.

Expect more premium ingredients here than at your other hotpot options, with a variety of homemade balls, pastes and dumplings.
