The key to Uncle Fong’s hot pot is its soup bases, which are carefully crafted using premium imported spices and condiments from China. The signature spicy soup is known for its formidable heat level, though customers can adjust the spiciness to their preference. Other options include a creamy pork bone broth, which is served with pre-added ingredients.

Uncle Fong Hotpot Restaurant (Great World)
Uncle Fong, the founder of Michelin-starred restaurant PUTIEN, is a veteran gastronome with a passion for quality ingredients and hot pot. After years of exploring authentic spicy hotpot in Chongqing, he opened his first hot pot restaurant in Hong Kong in 2016. The concept quickly gained popularity, becoming a favorite among Hong Kong celebrities.
In 2022, Uncle Fong Hotpot expanded internationally, opening its first overseas outpost at Great World in Singapore. The restaurant’s signature feature is its unique nine-grid layout pot, which offers three distinct heat zones for optimal cooking of various ingredients:
- The center square has the strongest heat, ideal for quick-cooking items.
- The four surrounding grids provide medium heat, perfect for poaching foods.
- The corner grids offer the lowest heat, suitable for slow simmering and stewing.
This innovative design allows diners to cook different hotpot items based on recommended cooking times, enhancing the overall dining experience.
