Bon Broth: Singapore’s Hotpot Experience By Chef André Chiang

Singapore’s hotpot scene has been revolutionised with the grand debut of Bon Broth at Raffles City. Conceptualised by the acclaimed Chef André Chiang, Bon Broth is not just another hotpot restaurant—it is a culinary masterpiece that redefines the very essence of broth-making. By shifting the focus away from condiments and dipping sauces, Bon Broth elevates the art of broth to centre stage, offering a meticulously curated dining experience like no other.

The Art of Broth: A Culinary Reinvention

At Bon Broth, the dining experience begins with a fundamental yet often overlooked element—the broth. Unlike traditional hotpot, where flavours develop gradually over time, each broth at Bon Broth is crafted to be savoured from the very first sip. Using a French-style bouillon technique, every pot of broth is cooked from scratch, a process that takes up to 16 hours using only pure fish, beef, pork, or chicken bones. This ensures an intensely rich, collagen-infused base that requires no additional condiments.

Chef André Chiang’s approach involves a slow-sautéed mirepoix base, carefully infused with his signature spice paste and fresh herbs. The result? A broth that stands strong on its own, enhancing the natural flavours of premium ingredients without overpowering them. “With Bon Broth, I hope to change the way people see hotpot by shifting their focus to what truly matters – the quality of the broth,” says Chef André Chiang.

A Symphony of Flavours: Bon Broth’s Signature Selection

Bon Broth introduces a carefully curated selection of eight unique broths, each reflecting Chef André Chiang’s culinary travels and expertise. Whether you crave bold, spicy notes or a rich, umami-laden base, there is something to satisfy every palate.

• Sichuan Green Pepper (Signature): A Taiwanese pickled chilli and Sichuan green pepper broth that delivers a mild sweetness with a numbing aftertaste.
• Satay (Sha Cha): A Taiwanese favourite with a rich, savoury Sha Cha base enhanced with butter, shallot, garlic, and chilli.
• Mala: A fiery broth crafted with 26 aromatic spices, offering deep complexity without the need for additional dipping sauces.
• Sauerkraut: A Northern Chinese classic featuring fermented sour cabbage and Gao Liang wine, delivering a tangy yet aromatic profile.
• Hokkaido: A luxurious combination of Groupa fish head collagen broth, miso, sake, and Hokkaido milk, creating a silky, umami-rich experience.
• Laksa: A blend of Singaporean Laksa and Hong Kong-style curry, offering a vibrant, coconut-infused spice.
• Herbal: A light and nourishing wild mushroom broth complemented by fresh and dried figs, ideal for digestion and lung health.
• Suki: A non-soupy hotpot alternative using French Echiré butter and black diamond truffle, delivering an indulgent umami explosion.

An Intimate Yet Social Dining Experience

Spanning 2,150 square feet with a seating capacity of 40, Bon Broth’s design concept embraces the duality of privacy and social dining. The restaurant features two circular bar seating arrangements, inspired by communal hotpot traditions, allowing diners to enjoy individual hotpots while remaining engaged in conversation. For those preferring a more intimate setting, three private booths are available, each accommodating up to four diners.

“We’ve created a warm space where exceptional flavours and a unique service experience come together, offering something that’s special yet accessible,” shares Ms. Pang Gek Teng, CEO of Surrey Hills Holdings. This seamless blend of exclusivity and community makes Bon Broth a must-visit destination for both solo gourmands and small groups alike.

Luxurious Yet Accessible: A Dining Experience Worth Savouring

At Bon Broth, quality meets value with thoughtfully designed set menus that cater to those seeking an unparalleled hotpot experience. Prices start from S$110 for the deluxe set menu and S$138 for the premium set menu, ensuring diners receive a meal that is as decadent as it is well-balanced.

Every element, from the broth to the finest seafood, meats, and vegetables, is carefully curated to deliver a harmonious and satisfying dining experience. Whether you are a hotpot aficionado or a first-time diner, Bon Broth promises an extraordinary journey through the essence of flavour and technique.
