When we reached there it was quite late. The alley was dark, it wouldn’t be easy to spot the shop. But we found it following Google Maps. It smelled slightly like ancient rustic wood and reminded me of somewhere in China.
There was a small room which fitted a big round table and held fifteen of us. The room was quite dim. But it served the purpose right. We ordered online, the fresh ingredients arrived promptly for the hotpot. You can request a change of meat if you don’t really like the texture of it (before you cook of course).
The staff was very friendly and helpful. They took group photo of us, came in to check on us every once in a while, helped us clear dirty dishes away, helped us refill drinks, arranged our dishes so that they’re not overwhelming.

Overall, The Service were great and attentive. Need some improvement on the menu which is very confusing. Not...
Read moreOne of my fav hotpot restaurants in town. Some may not agree with me but trust me, they serve the best old duck soup hotpot in Penang. Price is affordable - especially if you've gone there often enough to know your way of ordering. I would recommend you to order the steamboat set (shown on photo) if you are a company of two persons.
Simple condiments but on point. Try the red chilli sambal with some garlic and light soya sauce. Add some sesame oil and light soya sauce to your minced meat order (if any).
Recommended to go after drinks with friends at night. To avoid the crowd, go in the early...
