Reviews
Zhang Liang! My my I wasn't going to write a review for this spot since I was going hide it from the public but I can't gatekeep. This restaurant is a build your own hotpot spot or "malatang". You can customize all the ingredients you'd like in your bowl and choose the way you'd like it to be cooked! I love the regular spicy broth with medium spice. The restaurant is a laid back spot which can be good for a solo dining or a group outing. Service is great and friendly; with staff frequently refilling the ingredients at the cold bar. I probably visit this spot at least once a week, it's that good. Would be 5/5 if it had its own sauce bar 4.75/5
Located in sky plaza at the corner. I love this restaurant for their spicy base (tomato mid). While this place is nothing fancy it is really affordable and offers all the selections available at a typical malatang place. There's a 10% off cash discount which lowers the price even more. Will be back !
I've always walked by this place and been wanting to check it out. Super glad that I decided to try something new and finally go in! Zhang Liang has become my go-to these days. The broth is super tasty, and I love the concept of choosing your own toppings and weighing it after. You can choose either 2 broths (and change the spice level) and there is a dry option as well. If you can't handle your spice, I would recommend getting the tomato broth, but if you can then their beef bone broth is superior It's great to come here on your own or with friends, as you pay for your food first then eat. No need for any extra service - it is very simple. The workers here are friendly and will assist you if needed. Also, if you aren't so hungry, this meal is perfect to share with a partner or friend :) The interior is clean and everything is laid out nicely. Very spacious too. Compared to other locations, I am very fond of this one. My only complaint is that I wish they had a membership card as I keep coming back lol. But it's nice that there's also a 10% cash discount
Has a wide variety of different ingredients to choose from. Love how you can customize and choose your own ingredients. There is one dry and two soup bases to choose from. It was a bit more pricey than I expected but they also have a cash discount.
Build your own hotpot! You pay upfront and wait for your food at the table. I got the malatang soup and it was super flavourful! I can definitely say the selection of ingredients to choose from was super good! Ambiance is casual with orange/white interior. They had a few seats but not that busy. There is a minimum spend of 400g. It's $3.29/100g fyi. Plenty of parking since it's at the miland plaza and there is a restroom
