Uncle Fong Hotpot Singapore is turning up the heat and dialling up the tang with its latest offering, the Authentic Guizhou Red Sour Soup. Launched on 22 January, just in time to welcome the Year of the Snake, the tangy soup base is a tribute to sour lovers, providing an unrivalled hotpot experience rooted in tradition and flavour. 

Getting to Know the Soup 

Uncle Fong Hotpot Restaurant, renowned for revolutionising the hotpot scene in Singapore, has sourced a seventh-generation recipe from Guizhou’s culinary heartland to ensure every pot brims with authenticity. The soup, created by a meticulous 180-day fermentation of Guizhou red chilies and Guizhou wild tomatoes, has a brilliant crimson hue and a symphony of tangy, aromatic, and subtly spicy notes. A final flourish of Guizhou’s renowned litsea cubeba oil, revered for its pleasant, lemon-like scent, transforms each sip into a multilayered sensory experience.

Back in the days when salt was scarce, Guizhou’s early settlers mastered the skill of fermentation, producing a soup that not only satisfied the palate but also sustained the body. Uncle Fong Hotpot Restaurant has brought this culinary gem to Singapore, inviting diners to enjoy Guizhou’s rich tradition and timeless character in every bowl.

Sour Meets Savoury: The Perfect Pairing 

To complement this masterpiece, Uncle Fong, Chairman of Uncle Fong Hotpot Restaurant, presents a Special Beef Platter that elevates the hotpot experience. The platter features premium cuts such as US Prime Short Ribs, Australian Oyster Blade, and Tengjiao Beef Tongue, carefully selected to maximise the flavour of the red sour soup.

Here’s why this pairing is a match made in hotpot heaven:

• Flavour Elevation

The soup’s natural acidity enhances the richness of the beef, making each bite more flavourful.

• Velvety Tenderness

The fermented broth gently tenderises the meat to perfection, offering a melt-in-your-mouth experience.

• Harmonious Indulgence

The refreshing tang of the soup cuts through the beef’s richness, leaving you wanting more.
