 If there's one thing you should give credit to them, it has to be for being straightforward with their name. Located within Starling's food court Foodies' Nest, they offer only mini hot pot. Perfect when you are eating alone or just not in the mood to share as each portion is really sufficient just for one. 

We were there when they first opened. Things were a little less orderly, to put it mildly. Service was slow. It's strange because most of the food has been prepared beforehand. Only difference is the soup base and choice of meat. Oh this is a non-halal joint btw. 

 The base ingredients (veggie, fish cakes) are the same throughout the menu. Only the choice of meat (chicken, pork, beef, lamb) differs, though not all meat types are offered for all the different soup selections that can be either spicy or non-spicy. I tried both the classic signature and herbal cuisine, both of non-spicy variety. The latter tastes better, thanks to the herbs which made the former a bit bland.

As it's served with a mini fire going on underneath, it makes for a rather sweaty experience. Each pot comes with just the main dish and a bowl of rice, averaging about RM 18. You can turn it into a set with drinks or upgrade to lo rou fan (rice with minced pork) for additional RM 6 minimum. Not exactly cheap since the portion is small and there isn't any sign that the soup is refillable though it'll be quite an impossible feat as they filled the pot up to the brim that it was challenging to carry it to the table without spilling any.
