There’s no shame in admitting that cheap buffets have a chokehold on so many of us, and all the better when these affordable free-flow meals apply to hotpot experiences.

Here’s a guide to the best hotpot buffets in Singapore for when you want to eat to your heart’s content without spending too much.

• 1. Paradise Hotpot

Paradise Hotpot at Compass One is helmed by Paradise Group, which is also behind Beauty In The Pot.
