Hotpot in JB just hits different, and is a lot more affordable. There are a couple of fan-favourite hotpot joints for Singaporeans in JB, from the popular Arashi Shabu Shabu to the classic HDL (check out our guide to HDL in SG vs MY here). But according to this TikToker, there’s an underrated hotpot spot that might just be better than the rest!

Shuguo Yinxiang is tucked away at R&F Marina, under 10 minutes away from the checkpoint; and is recommended by TikToker @nicefood.hunter as one of JB’s “hidden gems”. Shuguo Yinxian is a popular hotpot chain with outlets across Malaysia and the region, known for their authentic Sichuan-style hotpot.

That’s not all you get to enjoy during a meal at Shuguo Yinxiang: during dinner sessions (from 7pm onwards) you’ll even be treated to a traditional Opera Mask-Changing Performance! If you order their signature tea, the “Tea Man” will even serve it to you with a full-on show, quite like HDL’s iconic “Dancing Noodle Man”! Talk about dinner and a show!
