Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Hotpot Di Focolare N Bak Chor Mee stands out for its commitment to fresh ingredients and MSG-free soup bases.

We note consistent praise for the quality of their broths, with the herbal chicken, mala, tomato, and chicken collagen/pork stomach soups frequently highlighted.

The tomato soup, specifically, is noted for being made from three types of tomatoes, including Japanese cherry tomatoes.

Diners consistently commend the freshness of ingredients, particularly the prawn paste with ebiko and fish paste, which are described as incredibly soft and tasty.

Handmade dumplings also receive positive mentions.

While the food quality is high, we observe some feedback regarding potential waiting times if the business picks up significantly.

However, the current experience seems to be positive, with a comfortable, air-conditioned dining environment and friendly service from owner Joseph.

The availability of an indoor playground is a notable bonus for families.

We think this spot is a strong contender for a casual, value-for-money hotpot experience, especially for those in the Bedok area.

Verdict: A reliable choice for fresh, MSG-free hotpot, particularly good for families due to the playground and comfortable setting.
