MaoMao Eats!: Tsukada Nojo Bijin Nabe 塚田農場美人鍋 (Chinatown)

Tsukada Nojo Bijin Nabe 塚田農場美人鍋 (Chinatown)

My first attempt to try the Bijin Nabe at Plaza Singapura failed when we arrived at 5.30pm, only 30 minutes after they have opened at 5pm. The restaurant was fully occupied and the waiting list was long which we were told that we might get the seats at around 8.30pm or 9.30pm. We gave up!

And my second attempt was at Chinatown Point which we started queuing at 4.50pm. I know it's a bit early but we've gotten 2nd in the queue.

So why is there such a long queue? It's because of the soup stock known as "Golden Jidori Soup". According to Tsukada Nojo, they stew the chicken bones for over 8 hours so that their golden broth is natural and rich in collagen.
