"A very comfortable hotpot restaurant with its superb clean environment. The service is good. The price is reasonable given the variety of options of food, desserts etc. Thumbs up to the concept of one pot person which allows each person to have their own soup base. There are more than 10 types of soup base to choose from as well. Definitely rank as one of the top hotpot restaurants in malacca."

"Hygienic hotpot buffet as it's pot per person. Also to choose either two flavours of soup or a soup and a grill. Very clever design. The chocolate sundae is yum and shouldn't be missed. Seafood is a bit small except prawn."
