Hai Di Lao at Ho Chi Minh City: Hot Pot restaurant with excellent services
On several occasions, my friends asked me, if I have visited Haidilao. Honestly, I have yet to visit one. However, my colleagues often invite me to Haidilao Hot Pot Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City. Honestly, everyone loves it. I do not know why and so I am going to find out.
THE EXPERIENCE
My first visit was the Haidilao at Bitexco Tower in Ho Chi Minh City. Located on the 2nd floor, I could see so many people queuing for it. Waitresses of both Chinese and Vietnamese were busy serving the large queuing crowd. Though I was so excited about this visit after hearing so much about it in Singapore and Vietnam, I am expecting a long wait and I was right about it. When I saw my colleagues, they told me that the waiting time is more than an hour. I was like… ok… since we were all already here, might as well just wait.
While we were waiting, drinks and fruits were served. They even have manicure and pedicure services for the ladies.
Slightly before an hour, we received a call and a table was ready for us. Walking into the restaurant, we were greeted by welcoming staffs, ushering us to our table. The restaurant is spacious, neat, and clean. We were given a tablet to place our orders.
There were 6 different soup bases but we went for Herbal Chicken Soup and of course my favourite, Tom Yum Soup with a large selection of ingredients for you to choose from. They had various types of meat, seafood, vegetables and Such as Beef, Pork, Seafood, Vegetables, etc. We went for beef, pork, fish slices, Seafood Platter, cabbage, Bai Choy, pigeon eggs, mushrooms, and instant noodles.The one thing I love about this restaurant would be its services. No chance of you having a dirty plate. The waitresses will change a new one for you. Furthermore, you may request them to peel your prawns and cook them for you. Most important of all, the staffs serve you with willingness and a happy smile. I truly enjoyed my dinner here very much.
THE OUTCOME
The experience I had at Haidilao hot pot restaurant was wonderful. Now, I visit once every trip to Ho Chi Minh City. I have just visited their new branch at Vincom on the 3rd floor next to the CGV cinema.
