East side, best side, and Bedok Mall is one reason why.
Check out recent openings like Paradise Hotpot and Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine, which sit alongside established names such as Dian Xiao Er, Tun Xiang Hokkien Delights, SAN REN XING 三人行, and Hainan Second Street.
If you are planning meals around Chinese New Year or simply want places that work well for sharing, there are plenty of group-friendly options too.
These include Canton Paradise, Paradise Classic, LeNu Chef Wai’s Noodle Bar, Shanghai Tan Pan-Fried Buns, Little Pond 小鱼塘, and Zhang Liang Mala Tang.
This guide pulls together some of the Chinese restaurants at Bedok Mall worth visiting when you are deciding where to eat the next time you are in the East:
Paradise Hotpot
Bedok Mall #01-13 to 14
Largest All-You-Can-Eat Hong Kong-style Hotpot
Paradise Hotpot, newly opened at Bedok Mall, is one of Singapore’s largest all-you-can-eat Hong Kong style hotpot, and the scale is clear the moment you start choosing.
From $19.90++ per person for 80 minutes, you get your own individual pot, a choice of soup base, and access to a wide spread of ingredients, snacks, desserts, drinks and condiments. Such value for money.
The experience begins with selecting one of three specialty sets, which determines the starting lineup of ingredients before you move on to the buffet.
Beyond the basics, the selection includes premium items such as US or Australian wagyu beef, Japanese pork belly, fresh scallops, ebiko prawn paste, fresh sea prawns, sliced fish and sliced chicken thigh.
Recommended at Paradise Hotpot: Satay Soup Base
What sets Paradise Hotpot apart is its focus on soup. All nine broths are freshly brewed in-house daily.
The lineup spans comforting classics like Authentic Pork Bone to lighter options such as Tomato with Sweet Corn, alongside more distinctive choices like Century Egg with Coriander.
The Satay Soup Base is what you must order if you enjoy deeper, fuller flavours. I found it carrying that fragrant nuttiness with a gentle spice.
The best part is the soup develops more body as ingredients cook. It works especially well with beef, pork belly and prawn paste, picking up sweetness and aroma as the pot simmers.
Tun Xiang Hokkien Delights
Bedok Mall #01-76
Value-for-Money Hokkien Dishes and Comfort Food
Tun Xiang Hokkien Delights specialises in Hokkien-style Chinese dishes that blend familiar local dishes with a focus on premium pork cuts and slow-cooked bases.
This approach carries through to its Signature Hokkien Mee, which uses Iberico pork sourced from Spain. You will find a richer-tasting stock with higher collagen content, rather than relying purely on prawn stock or seasoning.
Beyond noodles, the menu also offers claypot dishes, vegetable plates, seafood, and a wide selection of family-style dishes great for sharing.
Recommended at Tun Xiang Hokkien Delights: Super Hojiak Deal
The Super Hojiak Deal ($38.80) brings together Sweet and Sour Pork, Seasonal Vegetables, Konjac Jelly and the highlight of DIY Chicken Soup Pot.
The DIY Chicken Soup Pot is the centrepiece of the set. Fresh chicken pieces are served alongside ingredients such as fish maw and wood ear mushrooms, then cooked DIY-style at the table in a clear broth.
As the soup simmers, the flavours develop gradually into something more comforting and nourishing.
Not to be missed is the Sweet and Sour Pork, which follows a familiar zi char style, with bite-sized pieces coated in a glossy sauce with tanginess and mild sweetness.
SAN REN XING 三人行
Bedok Mall #B1-40
Fujian-Style Dishes for Group and Family Dining
SAN REN XING 三人行 presents a menu rooted in Fujian and banquet-style Chinese cooking, where dishes are built around slow braising, layered sauces and techniques meant for communal dining.
One of the most representative items is the Braised Nanping Noodle, a regional Fujian dish in which the home noodles (symbol of longevity too) are gently braised allowing the strands to absorb the gravy fully. Tip: don’t miss the special house-made chilli sauce.
There’s also the Steamed Garlic Prawns with Vermicelli. The appeal lies in how the glass noodles soak up the garlic, soy and prawn juices during steaming.
The Prosperity Pig’s Trotter rounds out the menu with a classic celebratory dish. Braised until tender, it highlights collagen-rich trotter surrounded by soft roasted chestnuts (gao lak) and braised mushrooms.
Recommended at SAN REN XING 三人行: Deep Fried Corn-shaped Fish
A fish dish that looks like a corn? That’s really special. The fish is deep-fried until crisp, then dressed in sauce before serving.
When I saw the presentation, it immediately brings ‘squirrel fish’ to mind, both visually and in technique, making it a fun yet nostalgic-tasting dish that lands well at the table.
Dian Xiao Er
Bedok Mall #01-71 to 74
Signature Herbal Roast Duck and Classic Chinese Comfort Dishes
Dian Xiao Er is best known for its Signature Herbal Roast Duck, a dish that many diners consider a must-order whenever they visit the restaurant.
The ducks are prepared daily using Cherry Valley ducks, marinated for hours in a proprietary blend of Chinese herbs and spices before being roasted at a carefully controlled temperature.
The result is a duck that arrives golden brown and crisp on the outside, while staying juicy within.
The best part for me? That specially concocted herbal sauce which ties the flavours together.
Recommended at Dian Xiao Er: Prosperity Fish Maw with Shrimp Filling and Crab Roe Sauce
For those planning a Chinese New Year spread, Dian Xiao Er has introduced a festive lineup designed with both symbolism and flavour in mind.
The selection includes dishes such as Golden Tangerine Bliss Pork Ribs, Fortune Prawns in Mint Fragrance, and Bountiful Golden Prawns with Corn, all built around familiar celebratory ingredients.
My vote goes to the indulgent highlight of Prosperity Fish Maw with Shrimp Filling and Crab Roe Sauce. The fish maw is generously stuffed with a shrimp mixture and paired with a smooth, savoury crab roe sauce.
There’s also the Jade Garden Morels with Asparagus and Bamboo Shoots. This vegetable-forward dish brings together the earthy depth of morel mushrooms with the crispness of asparagus and the tenderness of bamboo shoots.
Hainan Second Street
Bedok Mall #B2-05 & 34
Familiar Hainanese Comfort Food with No-Frills Approach
Hainan Second Street is built around the idea of familiar Hainanese comfort food. What you get here is not modern reinterpretation, but food that sticks close to what many grew up eating.
If you come with your family, order one of the steamboat sets, which come with generous ingredients like Hainan chicken, premium crab meat, signature meat paste, chicken rice and more.
The menu also branches into dishes that many Hainanese stalls once served as staples. Paper Cut Curry Rice with Curry Pork Chop is one of them. The pork chop is pounded thin, breaded, and fried before being covered in a curry that leans savoury and mildly spiced.
Another dish that reflects the restaurant’s old-school leanings is the Mixed Beef Noodles. Served either dry or with soup, it brings together different cuts of beef for contrast in texture.
Recommended at Hainan Second Street: Signature Hainan Chicken
If you are visiting for the first time, the Signature Hainan Chicken offered in boiled, soya sauce, or roast styles, is the good place to start.
The Signature Boiled Hainan Chicken is served tender and moist, paired with rice cooked in chicken stock that carries a mild fragrance rather than an oily punch.
The sauces are kept classic, featuring ginger, chilli and dark soy, allowing diners to adjust each bite to their liking.
Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine
Bedok Mall #01-15 to 16A
Robust Hunan Flavours with New & Hearty Dishes
Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine has recently opened at Bedok Mall, bringing with it the comforting dishes associated with Hunan, an inland province in central China.
The menu focuses on familiar classics alongside newer dishes, all built around strong aromatics and assertive seasoning.
There is the Fresh Chili Bullfrog with Chicken Claws, an uncommon but interesting combination simmered in an aromatic, spicy sauce.
For something more familiar, the Fresh Chili Spicy Prawns deliver on freshness and texture, using plump tiger prawns that remain bouncy after cooking.
To end the meal, the Walnut Buns lightly nutty with gentle caramel notes are worth ordering. These handmade buns are soft and fluffy, filled with walnut paste sweetened with brown sugar.
Recommended at Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine: Stir-fried Tender Chicken with Old Ginger
The chicken is hand-cut into bite-sized pieces and stir-fried with crisp old ginger in a savoury sauce.
The mature ginger lends a pronounced aroma with a slightly woody bite, cutting through the heaviness of the dish and giving it a clean, lingering warmth.
