Li Xiang Lan Hotpot 李香蓝重庆火锅 At Smith Street - Spread

Li Xiang Lan Hotpot 李香蓝重庆火锅 At Smith Street – Chinatown, Singapore

Mala Hotpot Restaurant sprouted up one after another. And we love the Mala Hotpot. My virgin attempt was at Chongqing a decade ago and I love it since then. We have tried a handful of hotpot before trying Li Xiang Lan Hotpot 李香蓝重庆火锅 on the last day of September 2018.

 

This Hotpot trend in Singapore seems to be popularised by Hai Di Lao. We tried also Spice World and previously, Chao Tian Men.
