With over 800 outlets in China, Xiao Yu Hao has built a following for its tasty single-portion bowls of suan cai yu.

Alternatively, get their Marbled Beef in Miao Style Red Sour Broth ($16.20), which had a rich, tomatoey soup base that we loved. Prices here are nett too, so don’t worry about GST or service charge!

Hailing from the Ciqikou district in Chongqing, Lead General Hot Pot is another renowned hotpot chain that’s landed in Singapore.
