Review: Hai Di Lao Lazy Instant Steamboat/Hot Pot

Hey lovelies! 💕

Today I’ll be reviewing two different flavours of Hai Di Lao Lazy Instant Steamboat/Hot Pot in Spicy Vegetable 🌶(Mala soup base) and Tomato Chicken 🍅. I’ll try to write as detailed as possible as I hope this will be beneficial to those who can’t read Chinese characters (like me 😅).

I’ll also insert the links to buy online below! 😍 It’s much cheaper to buy online than retail shops and supermarkets.

First off, I’ll be reviewing Spicy Vegetable 🌶 flavour. The packaging is green in colour. Notice ‼️: Pay attention to the date imprinted on the top of the packaging. That is the manufacturing date, and it is advisable to consume within 12 months from the date.

Cooking time is 15 minutes only!

Cooking time is 15 minutes only! Assembly time is around 5 minutes.

There’s a pair of chopsticks and spoon inside. The white packet is the heating pack.

Wet and dry ingredients.

According to the instructions, place the glass noodles first. Makes sense cause you would want the soup to cover it completely for it to cook well right? 🤗

You may put the other packets in any order after you put the glass noodles first. This packet has slices of potatoes and bite-sized corn.

This packet includes the sliced lotus root and black fungus.

Last but not least, the most important Mala soup base! Pour it evenly over the ingredients.

Next up: Fill the bowl with room temperature water until the indication shown in the picture (a faint line below the words).

Looking delicious already…

Fill in room temperature water into the black large bowl until the line shown (green line drawn above) or 200ml to be precise.

Place the heating pack into the water in the black bowl and immediately (and very carefully) place the transparent bowl over it.

I took this quick shot before it started bubbling in 10 seconds 🤣 Cover with the Hai Di Lao black lid.

Remember not to put anything on top as it might block the air vent. Be careful as the steam is very hot! Set your timer to 15 minutes and let it cook.

When the time is up, carefully open the lid (it’s still pretty hot) and enjoy your instant hot pot! This portion is large enough for two persons or one very hungry person 🤣

Yummmm. Pretty good alternative if you’re craving for HDL but don’t wanna spend time to queue for it hehe.

It was pretty filling for me and the ingredients were aplenty too. Everything tastes legit thou! Was surprised this came out from a packet 🤣I guess there’s shit load of preservatives in this but it’s fun to eat this once in awhile la. This packet is for RM19. I’ll link the shop down below!

Graphic instructions for those you can’t read Chinese characters 😊

Next up! This has became my personal favourite after eating it at Hai Di Lao: Tomato Chicken 🍅!

I’ve been craving tomato soup since that time! Love the sweet and tangy taste 🤤

It comes in Tomato Beef as well! 🐮 This one costs RM25 as there’s meat in it.

There’s also a packet of corn chips (white packet on the left side) which I didn’t add cause I don’t see the point of putting chips into soup (?!) 😅

I’ve placed the glass noodles below first. Then later I placed this packet, which contains the same potato slices, lotus roots, black fungus and corn as the Mala flavoured hotpot.

Chicken meat pieces! They’re semi-cooked already.

Tomato paste 🍅

Everything evenly placed into the transparent bowl.

Fill it with room temperature water up to the line shown. Submerge the heating pack in the water and cover with lid, let it cook for 15 minutes. Same cooking instructions as the other flavours.

Jja jan! I really enjoyed this tomato flavour one! If I have to repurchase, I’ll totally get this one again!
