Looking to meet someone new or make some new friends?

The new menu includes a meatless option, Fry Me to the Moon ($19++), made with buttermilk fried plant-based chicken patties between buttered rice flour buns.

Love Mala but can't take its mouth-numbing spiciness?
With Haidilao's all-new Mala Milk Broth ($11++ quarter pot), you can finally have a large sip of this savoury soup. The added milk gives the broth a creamy texture and balances the spiciness, making it only mildly spicy.
Accompany the new broth with Low-fat, Low-cal Konjac Slices ($4.50 ++ half portion), a healthy and refreshing carb replacement that mimics tripe's chewy texture. Or dip the aromatic Sichuan Pepperfect Beef Tongue ($15++ half portion) for just 15 seconds for a kick of spice.
Haidilao’s new menu items are now available at all Haidilao outlets in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.
