Haidilao

I've heard so many good things about Haidilao's hot pot, but due to COVID-19, they were closed for dining. Instead, they had takeout and were doing BOGO on Ubereats

Kobe Beef (2 portions for $49.95), Assorted seafood mix (shrimp, scallop, mussels, fish and noodles x 2 for $29.95)

The Kobe beef was delicious! Thin strips of marbled, tender, tasty, flavourful beef - easily prepared with a quick wash in the boiling soup or a quick pan fry in its own juices and it's ready to eat. The fatty parts of the meat make it oh so tasty. 

The assorted seafood mix was okay overall. The shrimps and scallops were okay and sweet, even if they weren't super fresh. The thin slices of fish were really good and when you use their soup bases in your hot pot broth, it really soaks in the flavour well. The mussels were good too. 

Shrimp paste ($11.95 for two boxes)

The shrimp paste, while good, wasn't anything excpetional and it was a rather small portion for $11.95 (definitely would not pay regular price for this)

Sadly, none of the food we ordered came with soup base (but it came with dessert and some crackers) and while the kobe beef was delicious, it didn't really seem worth it overall since you weren't really getting the full hot pot experience.
