  • The best way to describe this place is probably like a hot pot version of the Dazzling cafe with very cute blue decor instead of pink. Located in the New Kennedy Square plaza, there is plenty of parking if you come during dinner time. This place has opened for 3 months and not many people are aware, so I thought I'd take my two friends here on a very cold Saturday evening. With few very mixed reviews on Yelp, I decided to give it a try. I had made a reservation for 6:30pm and walked in to a few tables of people already eating. The place eventually got busy after 7pm. The environment was very clean and brightly lit. There were two party rooms on the left hand side when you walk in through the doors facing the reception area perfect for larger parties for privacy. On the right hand side was the main dining hall with a few tables on the ground floor and more seating on the elevated platform. There were a good mix of sofa seats and free standing tables. The theme of the restaurant gave me sailor vibes because of the blue and white contrast in the paint colours and furniture, but the chandeliers gave off a little more elegant feel. In terms of pricing, this place is cheaper than Xiangzi Hot Pot with some similarities and differences. It is AYCE with the food brought to you. At Xiangzi, you get your own food at the buffet tables. The only thing you need to get on your own here, is your condiments and sauces next to the reception area. The menu was written all in Chinese, so thank goodness my friends knew how to read it. To make it more customer friendly, I'd suggest maybe putting out English menus or you'll be limiting the number of people who can dine here. Like Xiangzi, each person pays a fixed price depending on the day of the week or holidays, and then you pick your soup base which is an additional charge. The individual pots were protected with a very pretty exterior rim that prevents you from getting burned from the hot surface. A very thoughtful touch I'd say. The service was great, the servers were very well mannered and always made sure our pots were filled with broth. The menu is made up of several categories of raw foods to choose from such as: veggies, meats, handmade meat balls, seafood, etc. A very interesting fact about this restaurant is that they serve the raw meats on the tall trays used for high tea / afternoon tea. You'll know what I mean when you see my photos. I guess it saves room on the table and looks a little more aesthetically pleasing. I must say though I was fairly impressed with the quality of beef they served. Although frozen like many hot pot places, it was still very fresh in terms of colour and marbling so we helped ourselves to a few plates of that. The soup base that I had selected was very enjoyable as well. It was well flavoured and not very oily all the way until the end of the meal. Overall, I had a great dining experience with my friends and will be back :)
