LeLe Pot - 382 E Coast Rd

Cosy environment and soup base is surprisingly good! Craving for steamboat and was recommended by friends to this shop that offers steamboat buffet. Reliving my school days when I had steamboat buffet at Marina South. Now with aircon and the food is served to me. Marking this as my go to place for steamboat.

My first ? pot for the year!! Very interesting soup base and good quality ingredients. Where to find hotpot so early in the morning 11am on a Sunday? I do miss having the sauce station where you can create your very own dipping but do ask for the special thai style chilli for your dippong. The most important of all it is wallet friendly. $24+/pax

5 stars for the laksa broth. Also, don’t sleep on the fried chicken wings (secret MVP!) and fried luncheon meat, these are the great hidden treasures there! This place is value town for the price you’re paying and what you’re getting.

The buffet steamboat is very value for money . Weekday buffet for adult is abt $24.8 before gst and tax. They offered good quality slice beef and pork with little fat and fresh ! Fresh prawns are also part of the buffet menu. Overall the ingredients are fresh and the dipping suaces are great and complimentary! Staffs are helpful and polite. I will definitely go back again.

A good value, clean hotpot establishment. Does buffet and a la carte items. Most people goes for the buffet option. Has a couple of tables for outside seating, great if the weather permits and is cooling. If you drive, parking can be tricky as lots along East coast road can be of very short supply.

Quite a wide variety of food available. Selected the buffet with 4 of my buddies. Bill is about $30+ including drinks which we have at least 2 each (drinks not free flow though) They have 7 different soup base for you to select from, seldom get this from other joints. They even offer us 2 sets of yuan-yang pot meaning we have 4 different kind of soup base to select from. The laksa soup is my favorite. We started off with the fried food while waiting for the raw food to be cooked. The popcorn chicken is nicer than a particular fastfood chain. I like the pork belly best. Tender and fresh and not chewy. Conclusion, I would rather eat here than HDL.

Tonight we wanted to go to east coast road the prawn mee shop because last time when we cycled past few times, it was very crowded and I'd assume that shop sells zi char too. However, that shop was closed and only opened till 4pm daily except tues full time closed. Chanced by lele hot pot and I was craving for mookata anyway but their too far from us. So we decided to try this out! Ambience, setting, customer service and food all did not disappoint us! It was good and for me, I don't just rate food itself I rate the overall settings + food quality. You can refer to pictures of what we ordered and see the ingredients are pretty fresh. We ordered buffet for 2 pax. Tick all you want off. It's 28/pax I think. Of course we did order more than ala carte combined. Fish, beef, pork belly, corn, cheese balls, squid, mushrooms all not bad at all. No foul taste or smell - all fresh. The vegetables are pretty fresh too. I like the beef rolls presentation where they roll the beef slices nicely and neatly on the plate. We ordered 2 non-spicy soups (regular chicken soup and coconut chrysanthemum soup base) where we probably should have ordered 1 spicy 1 non-spicy base to balance it off. Don't get me wrong both are equally tasty especially coconut which I find the name weird initially but it is nice actually! Chicken soup as usual after 1hr of ingredients mix got more fragrance after. However, we both feel that the sauce can be improved. Eg you go other hotpot cafe, the sauces mixed are so good. I hope le le pot can seriously consider this part and come up with signature sauces (eg, sesame peanut chili oil and mix other like hai di lao or the taiwan hotpot cant rmb name haha). Then this place will be perfect! Ok good night and thanks for reading. Give a like if you like my review!

We ordered buffet around $27 per pax which we find it more worth it compared to Ala carte. You get to choose two soup base, we take herbal chicken soup the authentic one and another more adventurous one coconut chrysanthemum soup, both are nice! I prefer coconut chrysanthemum soup more, the fragrance coconut smell and sweetness of chrysanthemum mixed well. Ingredients are fresh, though I think the portion a bit small. Sesame sauce can be improved, friendly staff. Overall good dining experience.
