Consider yourself incredibly lucky if you lot are a fan of Sze Chuan food, to a greater extent than options for you lot correct straightaway amongst the opening of Hero Pot at Karpal Singh Drive. Belongs to the "Mix", a convenient shop that sells fancy imported goods from China, Japan, Korea etc, Hero Pot offers Sze Chuan-influenced dishes in addition to of course... Sze Chuan "Mala" Hot Pot. But everything is designed to live on ostentatious here, when you lot are nearly to instruct inwards the premise, you lot volition live on greeted past times servers wearing traditional Chinese outfit. They volition convey you lot to your tabular array in addition to earlier you lot are seated, they volition squall "heroes are coming"... an awkward start to a meal. The card is Hot Pot-centric, amongst a few classic Chinese snacks. Service is attentive but create non aspect things to live on inexpensive here, aspect to fork out at to the lowest degree Rm 50 per pax for a decent repast here. Not specially impressive as far as gustation is concerned... if you lot must know.

Diners may opt for the score of spiciness in addition to the adventurous inwards us decided to instruct for the spiciest order but it turned out to live on a disappointment. The Sze Chuan Mala broth was barely spicy, non fifty-fifty a hint of the "ma" (numb)... apparently they skimped on using Peppercorns. The Herbal Soup however, was great. It was unproblematic but reasonably seasoned amongst mild but discernible herbaceous flavors. Meats come upwards amongst hefty toll tags here. The Australian Beef nosotros had was priced at Rm 21.80, amongst a few miserably in addition to finely sliced meat. The texture was non fifty-fifty keen in addition to nosotros idea it was real expensive for that portion in addition to the cut.
Cheese Scallion Cake seems to live on a pop item at Hero Pot but it is basically Taiwanese Scallion Cake amongst melted Cheese in addition to tastes similar Pizza. We had our part in addition to did non intend it was impressive. It was inwards fact, real greasy sans the Scallion-aroma. The Pumpkin Cake was as disappointing then you lot may skip that as well.
Sweety Dessert or Caramelized Yam in addition to Sweet Potatoes may appear expensive at showtime (Rm 22) but the portion was rather big. It is a famous Chinese dessert but uncommonly industrial plant life inwards Penang- Yam in addition to Sweet Potatoes are deep fried showtime in addition to coated amongst caramel. It's soft on the within in addition to crisp-crunchy on the outside. We had ours in addition to nosotros idea it was pretty good, but perchance likewise much fifty-fifty for the two of us.
