Had a very soothing and satisfying hot pot in a retro setting in the middle of nowhere last night! This is the Iberico set at One Pot, located at a super retro little enclave a stones throw away from Kallang Stadium. The ingredients were very fresh and the premium Iberico set for 3 was only $48. All sets apparently come with an assortment of ingredients from prawns to fish to fresh fishballs. Truly a hidden gem, and with the 80s music blasting on the speakers, I’m tempted to revisit here with gelled up hair, floral shirts and trumpet pants! #food #foodporn #foodphotography #foodstagram #instafood #delicious #yummy #nomnom #tasty #foodpic #gastroart #gastroporn #chef #latergram #singapore #foodie #foodgasm #EEEEEATS #forkyeah #foodsg #sgfoodies #sgfoodporn #singaporefood #exploreflavours #igsg #sgig #sgigfoodies
