to me, hdl isn't worth the hype but i am a sucker for hotpot nonetheless. it is definitely pretty standard and u cant rly go wrong. i personally find the soups a bit bland but that could just be me. i really enjoy the hand pulled noodles and the little xiaocais that are served at the sauce station. the beancurd dessert there as well is rly good (tastes like laoban). the cheesy sausages are good and worth it too together with their marinated beef.
