  • Dining at Hai Di Lao is a wonderful experience. Food is great and service is excellent. But each meal can cost you at least $50 per pax.
    But with proper planning and research we can all reduce our HDL costs. In this video I will share some hacks I have learned, to keep your bills below $30 per pax, without compromising your dining experience!

    I love the quad pot hack. This saves so much money! Thank you so much:)

    As someone who'd take herself out to eat HDL on a whim, the quad pot hack is definitely my favourite hack. A small group (or a person) definitely doesn't need the full pot to enjoy the soup.

    • @MickeyChia

      Agreed! Saved a lot of money on soup base ever since I started using this hack!

    my favourite hack is the 'dont go in hungry' hack because sometimes I understand that some people like to order alot and not finish their food. as I have not visited a haidilao restaurant before, you told us that they serve snacks even before we get in and I think that is a really good tip!

    • @MickeyChia
