Today, let's me bring you into a Taiwanese style hotpot buffet at Zenith Mall in Johor Bahru. For only RM55+ per adult and RM25+ per child, you can enjoy a wide variety of free-flow food and drinks.

The buffet starts with a welcome drink of iced lemon tea, which you can refill with other available drinks. We chose the twin pot, filled with Chinese Herbal Soup and Pumpkin Milk Soup. The Chinese Herbal Soup was balanced, while the Pumpkin Milk Soup was rich and creamy. As times goes by, the soup taste stronger and saltier tho but still a nice soup. All soups, except Mala, are refillable with a common broth.

The meat section offers pork, beef, mutton, and chicken. I recommend the pork belly or pork shoulder, as they provided the best taste among all the options I tried.

You can also help yourself to sections featuring vegetables, noodles, mushrooms, seafood, and processed foods. If you’re still hungry, try the free-flow Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice. It’s delicious, meaty, and savoury, with piping hot rice drenched in a sinful ladle of minced meat that provides a slippery bite and enriches your mouth with full flavour. Sauces and condiments are also available in unlimited quantities.

To conclude your meal, enjoy their desserts, fruits, cakes, and ice cream for a sweet ending.

The service is commendable, providing tissue paper on each table and a small bin attached to the table for easy disposal of trash and shells. Plates are cleared promptly, ensuring a pleasant dining experience.

RM 131.05 (included Service Fee - 10% & GST - 6%) We ordered four boxes for soup (RM38) (clear water, oats, sweet & spicy fish soup?) hmmm I didn't see oat soup based before during sg hai di lao :") so I felt that oat soup a bit jelak tbh but sweet & spicy fish still ok for me (a bit spicy aftertaste). We didn't know that soup base come with fish ah lol and then we order fish (RM 33) -_- so the taste for fish was quite fresh ah. Good thing we order half serving for meats - normal meat (RM 13) and black pork meat (RM 33) if not we cannot eat finish all the foods that we ordered via iPad.

(RM 55 per person) We wanted to eat haidilao at level 1 originally :") but then it's quite crowded during friday night after 6 to 7 p.m. :( even though we book the seats in advance on the website already. We did missed the queue on first time and then re-queue :") until we reached there still on the queue ard 8 p.m.?. We walked around the mall until we went to level 2 to explore. My sister did recommended this store at paradigm mall but reviews is not that good. But then we wanted to take last a few mrt and bus back to home so in the end we decided to try their steamboat instead. We choose free flow soup base: chinese herbal soup (taste quite bitter towards the end) and pork bone broth (taste like normal to me?). They also have free flow variety of beverages and dessert from ice cream. Good alternative if you really want to eat steamboat instead of usual haidilao. tbh ice cream taste like old school type if you missed but texture otherwise like milky and creamy (not suitable for lactose intolerant.)

Enter into the world of Arashi and embark on a personalised haute hotpot adventure! 😅✨ But let me tell you, the taste didn't quite match up to the fancy appearance.

Boneless & Premium Black Pork Shabu(2 pax)(RM 108.40++)
This set offers a selection of two personal soup bases attached with various pricing, 2 choices of carbs, a mix platter of vegetables, mushrooms, and processed food, topped off with a visually stunning hanging platter of thinly sliced black pork. We opted for the Tonkotsu and Tomato soup bases. While the Tonkotsu was savoury and milky, it lacked the rich pork bone flavour that we were expecting. The tomato soup base tasted reminiscent of those instant packaged soup bases. The food itself was pretty standard, nothing that made us go "WOW," but the meat absorbed the soup base, giving it a tasty flavour.
We also added the Prawn Paste (RM 20.90), which was delightfully bouncy and delicious.

Overall, the place had a fancy ambiance, but it came with a hefty price tag. The taste of the food was average, nothing exceptional. I suppose once is enough to satisfy the curiosity.

My second visit here. Enjoyed this hybrid Japanese-Chinese hot pot. The tasty soup is nice compared to traditional Shabu Shabu.

This is a Chinese-style Japanese hot-pot, which makes it interesting. I took the miso soup base and enjoyed it. Regular Shabu Shabu soup base is plain like water. Worth it.

An all you can eat steamboat buffet for RM47, an absolute deal considering the spread is complete with all manner of meat and seafood

Pork Cheek Shabu Shabu set (RM35.90)
The soup base is fantastic with a good variety of choices. I tried the hot and spicy milk. It is very very spicy! Beware!

The tangy freshly chopped herbs provided scrummy contrast to this freshwater catfish in both texture and taste.
