HaiDiLao Hot Pot 海底捞火锅 (Sunway Pyramid)

There is nothing much I can describe about this meal but super worth the wait! Their tomato based soup is my favourite one, with a huge selection of ingredients that you can order and add into your pot. Personal recommendation: must order their frozen tofu (凍豆腐), flying noodle, pork shoulder and prawn ball (蝦滑). The service there is extraordinary, unlimited snacks, fruits and drinks for you while waiting in the queue. The price range is about rm60 per person which to me is not bad at all.

This world-famous hot pot brand is known for their excellent service (yes, get a manicure while you wait) and delicious food. Start with the soup – the Sichuan Spicy Hot Pot (from RM11) is a crowd-favourite. To fill the pot, order the Fish Ball With Fish Roe (RM15), Pork Belly (RM22) and Haidilao-flavoured Beef (RM32). On sides, Burppler Calie Tang recommends the juicy Pork and Chive Dumpling (RM6) and the Deep Fried Mini Buns (7), which she says tastes even better when dipped in condensed milk. Pro tip: We hear the wait is still long, so make a reservation at least a month in advance, OR come at odd hours – they’re open till 3am!

We got this free for folding 20 cranes. Yay. Texture was smooth. It was good that we ordered another portion.

I would probably skip the normal fish ball and order another portion of fish ball with for the next time.

Wide selection of meat here. Tip: order 2 half portion which apparently is more than one full portion.

Juicy and flavourful dumplings.
