=========================================

I have heard of the notorious long queues at Hai Di Lao and decided to try it out during off peak timings, i.e. 11am on a weekend at their Clarke Quay outlet.

They serve a la carte steamboat, where the concept is like JPot where you can order your choose your desired soup base and preferred ingredients. You can also customize your own sauces at a charge of $3 per person and this will give you free flow of fruits and desserts (soya beancurd). For drinks, you can either opt for water or top up $3 per person for free flow of herbal tea, barley etc.

The overall experience makes one feel pampered as you have a dedicated server to help you out, such as providing you wipes for your spectacle and phone, topping up your soup base and water etc. If you order handmade noodles, there is a performance where the serve will prepare the noodles in front of you. 

In addition to that, manicures are provided for those waiting in queues and cosy corner while yone wait for their number to be called. For parents with children, there's a playground and shows available to keep your children entertained. We even spotted a baby cot amidst the dining area.
