海底撈火鍋 （倫敦人店）

The differences between Haidilao in Macau and Taiwan ~

Taiwan: The condiment area is free for everything except for the condiments (fruits, snacks).
Macau: Everything in the condiment area costs money.

Taiwan: Water is provided for free, but they won't proactively ask if you want drinks.
Macau: Free lemon water is provided, but they quickly mention that there are drinks that cost money and ask if you want them to pour you some.

🔹 Four compartment hot pot base MOP133
(seafood porridge, pepper pig stomach chicken, tomato, plain water)

• The seafood porridge is not available in Taiwan. I specially ordered it to try; the porridge inside is more like rice soup. It has a rather fresh flavor but gets quite salty towards the end.
• The tomato hot pot with concentrated soup is amazing! We usually order it like this in Taiwan, but the taste in Macau is even richer!

🔸 Black truffle fish roe beef rice MOP38

• Quite an impressive dish! It tastes a bit like fried rice. Even though I was full after a while, I still found myself wanting to have one bite after another until it was finished!

🔹 Beef and lamb, baby bok choy are mediocre; they taste just average.

🔸 Crispy fried meat MOP39

• It wasn’t crispy enough, but the flavor was quite sufficient; however, Taiwan’s is better.

🧸 At first, it was because of the female staff, who were quite enthusiastic. After ordering the hot pot base, they asked if we wanted to use the condiment area (which has a fee). After learning that we didn’t need it, their attitude became very cold, even the soup we had to serve ourselves. Later, when the staff changed to a male server, the attitude was very different; he actively asked if we wanted to have fruits and even brought us a plate. When we left, he even gave us cookies to take away.
