Heavenly Hotpot

Hai Di Lao has never been the cheapest hotpot in town, yet it never disappoints either. Moreover, the service from the team is what really sets them apart.

My go-to broth will be the tomato with either mala, mushroom or herbal. Beef slices are fresh, the veggie mix is also a good option even though it is a bit pricy. Some people like the tofu skin, but I don’t fancy it that much.

Once you are done with your meal, they will pro ide soda drinks, cut fruits as well as ice cream. Hao chi!

My first time having lamb meat for hotpot in Singapore. The meat was cut in a bite-size 2x2 cm square, making it super easy to cook (just dip it for a few seconds). Totally recommend the signature lamb as they were super fatty and tender, which melted in your mouth.

The meatballs were mostly sold out so only managed to try the fishball with fish roe. It was okay but definitely want to try their other variant of seafood balls.

Not a big fan the soup. Tried the white original as suggested, since it is only available for dine-in while the other soup bases (mala, mushroom, tomato) are available in packets for take-out. The white soup taste like pepper bakut-teh soup, while the mushroom is a typical mushroom soup.

Additionally, they have free-flow condiments and cut fruits package for ($3).
