So a bunch of us hotpot loving girls decided to make our way to NEX for our hotpot fix. Little did we know that it would be the worst place ever to dine. It was a Monday night dinner and although the restaurant was filled, it wasn't overwhelmingly so. This Xian De Lai provides individual pots for diners. Which would be higher on the hygiene standards but hotpot's all about sharing isn't it? The soup choices here were of a greater variety- 5 kinds and we had one of each. I personally loved the po

The soup choices here were of a greater variety- 5 kinds and we had one of each. I personally loved the pork bone one and the duck soup. Tom yum was not bad either but the spicy one was my least favourite. One whole pot of mala soup is just not the best idea.
The service was lacking. Our first order of food only came after 45 minutes and a lot of 'checking in with the kitchen'. It also took an hour to fetch two cans of green tea.
The second order never came. Our third order took another hour.
We left with barely filled stomachs and a terrible taste in our mouths. This even costs more than their Bugis outlet. We are never returning.
Danro upstairs would've been a much better choice.
