Doing reunion dinner first time for my immediate family. So seeing if got any fresh ideas for hotpot ingredients/sauces etc. No beef as my mum don't take. Cut chilli + soya sauce standard. Anyone tried the iberico pork belly/collar before? Does it really taste better than the generic ones. Bought canadian scallop and hokkaido scallop already. Abalone, Snow crab, Ang Kar prawns pretty standard. I'm working until 4pm, so lot of my prep has to be done beforehand and frozen. Going to make my own chicken base soup.

Hotpot billionaire Zhang Yong ousts Far East's Ng brothers to top Forbes list of Singapore's richest Sources: https://www.asiaone.com/singapore/hotpot-billionaire-zhang-yong-ousts-far-easts-ng-brothers-top-forbes-list-singapores SINGAPORE - Consumers' love for hotpot has propelled Haidilao founder Zhang Yong to the top of the 2019 Forbes Singapore Rich List, with a net worth of US$13.8 billion (S$19.17 billion). Mr Zhang, who made his debut on Singapore's rich list last year, replaces long-time leaders, property tycoons Robert and Philip Ng of Far East Organization, who are now second with a combined wealth of US$12.1 billion. The Ng brothers had previously occupied the top spot on the list every year this decade, Forbes Asia said in a press statement on Thursday (Aug 29). Mr Zhang, who was previously featured among China's richest, is now a naturalised Singapore citizen and resident. His company is also increasingly global in its expansion, Forbes Asia noted. Meanwhile, the Ng's family fortune continues to benefit from premium prices for its high-end properties, which remain undented by the recent political ructions in Hong Kong or by Singapore's slowing economy, Forbes Asia said. Despite looming global headwinds and a stock market that declined 3.5 per cent since last year's rich list, the collective wealth of Singapore's top 50 richest grew by more than 12 per cent to US$130 billion, mostly due to the inclusion of Mr Zhang this year. Facebook billionaire and Singapore resident Eduardo Saverin saw his fortune fall by US$1.2 billion to come in at No. 3 with a net worth of US$10.6 billion. Mr Saverin retains a minority stake in the social media behemoth, which has been battling investor concerns about user privacy issues. Coming in fourth on the list is paint tycoon Goh Cheng Liang, who has a stake in Japan's Nippon Paint Holdings, and saw a billion-dollar boost to his net worth to US$9.5 billion this year. The biggest dollar gainer this year, however, is Hong Leong Group's chairmain Kwek Leng Beng who bagged the fifth spot, with a net worth of US$8.8 billion. The property tycoon added US$1.2 billion to his wealth partly attributable to an overseas expansion of his flagship City Developments, which acquired two London office properties for US$690 million in 2018. Other notable listees this year include Forrest Li, who makes his mark as this year's only online gaming billionaire after debuting on the list last year. Mr Li jumps 21 spots to No. 21, as his net worth more than doubled to US$1.57 billion from US$738 million previously. That said, more than half of the returnees to this year's list saw their wealth decline. These include shipping tycoon Chang Yun Chung (No. 22), who suffered a 27 per cent erosion in his wealth to US$1.5 billion, amid a sluggish shipping sector in the trade-dependent country, Forbes Asia noted. At age 101, Mr Chang is the world's oldest billionaire. The two newcomers to the rich list, other than Haidilao's Mr Zhang, are the Wong brothers of Singapore-based footwear brand Charles & Keith, who came in at No. 34 with a net worth of US$970 million, and Gang Ye (No. 37, US$900 million), who co-founded US-listed Sea, and holds just under 9 per cent of the company's shares. Separately, there are three drop-offs this year, including Ching Chiat Kwong, a former cop-turned-developer, who is also known as the king of shoebox apartments. The debt-fuelled expansion of his Oxley Holdings made investors wary, causing its shares to dip, Forbes Asia explained.

One of the rats must have took MRT from Bukit Batok to Marina Square to have lunch at Hotpot Culture. Sebei gross sia. https://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/what-is-buzzing/rats--customers-find--extra-ingredient--at-porridge-buffet---070503504.html [uPDATED 9 January 2015, 8:30 PM: NEA suspends Hotpot Culture Restaurant, investigating rat issue] The National Environment Authority (NEA) has suspended Hotpot Culture Restaurant after a rat carcass was allegedly found in one of its dishes. "The restaurant has been instructed to suspend its operations immediately while NEA conducts its investigations," said its spokesman in a media statement to Yahoo Singapore. What was supposed to be a value-for-money porridge buffet for a group of colleagues turned into a stomach churning experience after a customer allegedly spotted a dead rat in one of the restaurant’s free-flow dishes. Ms Caron Chan, who declined to reveal her occupation, was with four other colleagues at Hot Pot Culture’s porridge buffet at Marina Square when they made the grisly find. According to her, a colleague had spotted what she thought was a rat’s tail in a vegetable dish. Chan then proceeded to scoop out the rest of the mystery meat, to discover to her disgust that it was a whole rat carcass. She then approached a staff member. “The staff member didn’t even react quickly, she handled something else first, then came to us and told another employee to remove it. She just said sorry and that they would serve a new batch,” said Chan. “What about the other customers who already ate it? That was so gross. They should have quickly stopped operations.” Completely turned off by their find, Chan and her colleagues left the restaurant without paying, but informed the table next to them, which had already eaten the dish. “The lady at the table next to us told us that she was still charged by the restaurant. She has already lodged a complaint with the National Environment Agency,” said Chan, who posted photos of the rat dish on her Facebook account, which has since been shared widely. When Yahoo Singapore called Hot Pot Culture, the manager on duty said she was unaware of the rat incident. “As far as I know, I just heard that the dish wasn’t fresh and so we replaced it,” she said. When pressed further for information from the management, she took down the contact of this reporter and said the owner would be in touch. Another report from Stomp http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/this-urban-jungle/eeew-body-of-rat-found-in-dish-of-salted-vegetables-at-chinese-restaurant The lady should have called police & NEA right away and not inform the staff working there. Stand there with her colleagues to stop ppl from eating anything. Call police is to make sure the staff do not take the dish away and their respond time may be faster dan NEA.
