A hotpot place has opened up at Forum The Shopping Mall, and it looks like it's run by a big Chinese chain called Tanyaxue (583 Orchard Road #B1-39). Yet it bears the name Tan Jin Ji for some reason.
From what I can see online though, they do their soup in the same way: presented in dry form with a tall paper card spanning the pot before broth is poured in. Those pots aren't cheap, and only after it was served did I realize why: it's generously filled with ingredients like tofu and even chicken feet, making it a bit like Coucou whose stocks are filled with so much food that we ended up ordering a bit too many other items. They used some fancy serving platters here for some of their premium items, and the broth was decently spicy too despite ordering only the mild version.
It's not really somewhere to go back for though, especially given how uncomfortably insistent the service was. Our go-to spot will probably still be Malu Bianbian.

have you tried https://g.co/kgs/9zq1fHY ? sauerkraut hotpot is worth a try, along with beef ingredients. would not recommend their hotpot seafood or lamb. cooked food can be good
Thanks for the suggestion. They were on my radar screen a few years ago but dropped off somehow. Will keep them in mind.
