Editor’s Review: A Surprising Hotpot Delight
Our editor shares their delightful experience: The portion was generous, featuring a hearty 500g of fresh clams, all served in the same sizable pot used for larger orders. Adding a few extra ingredients made the meal even more indulgent, transforming a simple hotpot into a feast. The soup based is just RM25—a remarkable deal, especially for someone coming from Singapore, where such a meal would cost significantly more.
The soup was the star of the show, rich and aromatic, leaving a lasting impression with its deep, comforting flavors. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the unexpected literally “fire show” that accompanied the meal. As the flames danced around the pot, the excitement in the room was palpable.
Every element of the meal at 5PM Lala Pot was thoughtfully curated to provide not just a meal, but an experience. From the generous portions to the interactive elements, it’s a place where every visit feels special and memorable. If you’re in Johor Bahru, this is one spot that promises a delightful adventure for your taste buds.
