One of my favourite/ go to hot pot places. For me one of the most important part of hotpot is the soup base used. I love mala and their spicy mala soup base is just to die for, it's so fragrant and yet you don't feel thirsty after the meal. Anyone who has visited HDL will also attest to the fact that they provide very good service. Staff are always helpful and attentive and this is a big thumbs up for me. The sauces and fruits are also free flow which is another bonus. If you like noodles, do try the hand tossed noodles, not only is it cool as you watch the noodle man toss and turn it in the air but it's so Q and delicious!

First time trying one of Robuchon's restaurants and it was a nice experience. The food was well presented and delicious. The bread trolley and desserts trolley was amazing! You can pick as you like. I loved the main dish made up of of tender beef and foie gras! The only shortcoming are the desserts. They are not bad but relatively mediocre, with many being just plain sweet. Overall still a great dining experience, to top it off they even gifted me with a bag of chocolate which they apparently do with all customers. Even though the meal came with a hefty price tag, you do get quality food and service.
