Review Pelanggan untuk Haidilao Hot Pot

Haidilao is renowned worldwide for their hot pot, I have personally been recommended to try haidilao by many of my friends. Hence, this is my first visit and experience dining in haidilao Gancit. During this visit, we ordered 1 Ma La soup, 1 Mushroom Soup, and 2 plain water. We decided to only ordered 2 out of 4 pots of soups as there are only 3 of us, would be a waste if we fill up the whole hot pot. For the toppings, we ordered some Beef Shortplate, Pork Samcan, chikuwa, lotus root, kangkung, and shitake mushrooms. 

I was quite surprised that the portion for the beef, pork, and vegies were quite big. Bigger than what I had expected. The quality of the beef and pork are top notch, juicy and tender, and it doesn't have that meaty raw taste even when cooked rare. Meanwhile for the soups, the Ma La is quite good, we ordered it to be less spicy, but still have that unique Ma La numbing spicyness. I would recommend ordering at least 1 Ma La soup for dipping with the meats. Meanwhile the mushroom is soup is very rich and umami. It's a light soup, perfect to be sipped after you've boiled everything in it. Additionally the plain water base soup is not actually plain, as they do give some chinese herbal ingredients within it, and is actually quite useful if you'd find the Ma La is too spicy, perfect for washing/rinsing some of the Ma La oils. 

For the service, I would also say it's very top notch. Super friendly and helpful staffs, as it is our first time in haidilao, they would assists and recommends us on what and how to order. Additionally, there are free mineral water, and the staff would be very attentive and refill our glass once it looks empty. 

For the restaurant itself, it's quite spacious inside, plenty of space between the tables so even if it's crowded, its not cramped. The tables are quite huge as well, the bigger tables could fit up to 8 people (but maybe only 6 during these times).
