Finally, 10 pax allowed on 29th March.
All 10 of us, family and friends, went to Bedok HDL for a birthday celebration.
Needless to say, legendary services, great food and addictive soups. I highly recommend their signature Tomato soup! My personal favourite!
Also, we finally got 4 glasses of the “Happy Bear” for the very first time! We previously tried asking multiple times here and Tampines branch but they always tell us it’s out of stock.
Actually when we requested for the “Happy Bear” drink on this day, they told us it’s out of stock, and we disappointingly replied: everytime we ask and you all will say it’s out of stock :(
The manager then came over and said she will help us check if she could request a few glasses for us, and she came back with 4 glasses of it!
If you don’t already know about it, the prices of Hai Di Lao are high. You are paying for their superb services and delicious dishes.
Not a place to eat as often as you want if you are tight on budget, but definitely a place to go on special occasions.
The tomato soup base is nice and tasty. Mushroom soup base is light and plain. Fish ball with fish roe is q-y; mushroom pork ball is tender; shiitake mushroom is mushroomy; haidilao marinated beef taste unique and a little spicy; fried beadcurd is good as usual (to absorb the soup); pork is sliced thinly and easy to cook; prawn cake is unlike the usual, has a more crusty prata like exterior.
It had been a long time since the last time we can freely take the condiments ourselves and watch the show with the la Mian. Really good reminiscences of the awesome HDL experiences.
