    And at this time where December always rains, this is a great choice! Would recommend Mala Level 1 as your first broth, and the Pork Bone Soup as your 2nd to complement it.
    On a whole though, it's a lot more fun and satisfying to dine a hot pot as a group.

    Mikey I have watched you for YEARS (like probably close to 8 or I don’t even know….before you were big, haha!). I was in your neck of the woods in Flushing a couple weeks ago and told my parents we had to go to Hot Pot! They were hesitant but loved it! My Dad was so lost at the sauce station but grateful when the waitress made him a sauce. I loved my short time in Flushing (we stayed there after a flight in from LaGuardia prior to boarding a cruise the next morning in Manhattan. My Dad is retired and I joke that he is my travel agent. When he informed me we were staying in Flushing and that as usual, I was responsible for finding all our food places I told him I had been preparing for a Flushing visit for years thanks to your channel! I just wish I had been there longer but I’m sure we will be back. It is fun to be able to teach your parents new things and bring them new experiences as an adult and I am grateful for doing it together 😊

They served a lot and then realised that a lot of the dishes were a la carte from the table behind us. We still have no idea which were from the set and which were not. I don't think we saw any $6/SGD8 deal but then we have not gone during lunch.

    I dont know if you'll see this but there's a pretty good hotpot spot in Northpoint too! It is called Yi Qian Ling Yi Ye. Very affordable and actually pretty decent variety. I think the variety's bigger than shi li fang and shabu. The best part there is their ice cream. They have rotating flavours each day but so far every flavour i've tried is great.
    Their Mala and chilli oil is spicier than shi li fang's too:) They even have Xiao Long baos! and tons of other stuff. I do recommend the chicken and mala soup base if you ever plan to give it a try! Best to go in the afternoon or early evening:)
