Food

Mama Kim’s sauna mee is a must-have. It comes with great flexibility where you can personalize your meal.

To begin, you can select your choice of carbs. From brown rice, mushroom and pumpkin rice, pumpkin noodles, and more, you’ll need to decide on the toppings as guided by the menu.

Served ina clay pot set in a hot stove, the Sauna Mee Fish comes with a few slices of fresh fish & an assortment of veggies.

The Sauna Mee Fish is a popular choice for its umami fish soup. However, there aren’t many fish slices in the pot, and considerably fewer vegetables too.

The Sauna Mee Vegetarian is packed with 5 different colored vegetables, with a delicious broth that's MSG-free.

 If you’re looking for a color palate of enticing vegetables, then the Sauna Mee

Vegetarian is highly recommended.

Packed with a variety of veggies comprising of corn, a mushroom assortment, tomatoes,  sweet peas, and carrots, the soup is tasty without any trace of MSG.

For fish lovers, you can order the Sauna Mee Vegetarian ingredients and request for a fish-based soup. If you’re yearning for spicy food, the aromatic tom yam sauna mee and kimchi sauna mee do not disappoint.

Living up to its namesake, this meal is placed in a clay pot rested on a square hot stove, and the waiter pours boiling soup upon serving.

Also known as Wat Tan Hor, the Cantonese Veggie Noodles is engulfed in a thick, clear broth that's tasty and not oily.

The Cantonese Veggie Noodles is another winner. Brimming with baby bok choys, leafy greens, carrots, shitake mushrooms, and bean curd sheets, the gravy is wholesome without being overly salty. The fried egg noodles had a firm consistency while the sliced potatoes lent earthy undertones, perfectly complementing the dish.

The Natural Fruit & Flower Tea is not only pleasing to the eye. Its subtle hint of floral and fruity fragrance is refreshing!
