Tang Huo Kung Fu Spicy Hot Pot

Dry pot is amazing. Better than most restaurants I’ve tried in China in the past 26 years.

You pick your ingredients and the chef turns it into a hotpot for you, and you pay by the total weight of the ingredients. Neat setup. The ingredients provided are of good quality, and the chef did a great job of turning our somewhat randomly picked items into a very nice hotpot. I wonder what the wildest setup the chefs have had to do, like what if someone just asks for 3 pounds of bean sprouts to be turned into a hotpot?

3 days before, i had MALA in Singapore’s Chinatown and that was one of a best, however after i tried this, i gotta say this is even better 11/10. Will definitely come back for it! It’s very flavorful and LOVE how spicy it is. The mala chips is 11/10 too! Recommend it.

What do you do when your dinner partner wants soupy Chinese dish, and you want a stir-fried one? Well, you can come to this restaurant. When you go into a hotpot place, they exclusively sell hotpot, which is reasonable. Drypot place? Only sell drypot. Not in this restaurant! 😏 You get to have both flavors.

When you start ordering, there is a self-service counter where you would choose what kind of food you want on your dish. How much you take is how much you pay at the end, so if you are not a heavy eater then you won't be paying as much as individuals who eat more. 😶‍🌫️ At the counter, there are all sorts of things to choose from: beef briskets, lamb, chicken, fish fillets, fishballs, meatballs and variety of vegetables. They are all fresh as far as I am concerned. In terms of taste, I thought they are pretty good. However, halfway through the meal, I felt diminishing marginal returns kicking in. Perhaps it was a little too salty for my taste? The 麻辣烫 (the spicy soup dish) also had the same issue.

Overall, the restaurant was clean, and this reflects onto the food, so that's a plus. ✔️ I am giving it a 4 star because I have tasted same but better dishes than the ones served here. Nevertheless, this place is not too shabby. I would recommend.
