#1. District Binh Thanh, Chinese Hot Pot Restaurant Yangguofu Malatang Review
Chinese hot pot restaurant Yangguofu Malatang is located on the first floor of Pearl Plaza, District Binh Thanh, Ho Chi Minh City. This is the first Vietnamese branch of a famous Chinese franchise restaurant that has expanded all over the world. It is a little less spicy than the original to suit the local taste, but it is an attractive restaurant because the taste is in no way inferior to that of other malatang restaurants.
The interior of the restaurant is casual and neat. The cash register, kitchen, and self-service bar for malatang ingredients are located in the center, and tables surround them.
The malatang ingredient self-bar has over 50 ingredients neatly arranged. Various seafood, meat, meatballs, vegetables, etc. are listed separately. You can distinguish the price per 100g by the color of the bowl containing the ingredients.
Meat and seafood are served in red bowls and cost 60,000VND per 100g, meatballs, fish cakes, etc. are served in yellow bowls and cost 45,000VND per 100g, and vegetables and noodles are served in green bowls and cost 25,000VND.
I could take my own tray and choose the ingredients you want from the malatang ingredient self-bar. I have to take out the ingredients from the red, yellow, and green bowls in order from the left, but since it was my first visit, I didn't know and just filled them without any distinction.
You can get as much as you need for free from the self-bar in the center of the restaurant, including iced tea, rice, and sauces. There are bowls, cups, spoons, and other tableware in the dishwasher on the left, so you can take them out and use them.
This is Handmade Rooibos Lemon Tea, which I ordered upon the staff's recommendation. It had a taste of lemon tea mixed with black tea, and it didn't have much of a special feel to it, but it was okay to drink.
After choosing the ingredients for the malatang from the self-service bar, such as beef, pork, cheese tofu fish balls, crab fish balls, meatballs, quail eggs, bok choy, cabbage, oyster mushrooms, cilantro, and glass noodles, I chose the Classic Herb Bone Soup for the broth and Cay Nhe(slightly spicy) for the spiciness.
It took less than 10 minutes to come out cooked fresh from the kitchen. I chose Cay Nhe(slightly spicy), so the spicy taste of mala was a little bit spicy, but it wasn't spicy enough. I added some chopped chili peppers from the table, and only then was the spiciness level satisfactory.
#2. Chinese Hot Pot Restaurant Yangguofu Malatang Menu
Yangguofu Malatang, a famous Chinese franchise restaurant, offers Chinese-style malatang at a reasonable price. It has the appeal of being able to choose from a variety of fresh ingredients to your taste, and you can choose the spiciness of the malatang soup, as well as tomato broth, so it is a restaurant that even those who cannot eat spicy and stimulating food can visit.
I visited alone for dinner on a Monday evening and ordered as follows:
Classic Malatang(500g): 0VND
Vegetables: 4.44(100g) x 25,000VND = 111,000VND
Hot Pot Balls: 0.62(100g) x 45,000VND = 27,900VND
Seafood & Meat: 1.68(100g) x 60,000VND = 100,800VND
Handmade Rooibos Lemon Tea: 25,000VND
Including 8% VAT, it came to 285,876VND, which was higher than I thought because I chose too many ingredients from the self-bar. Since rice is provided free and unlimited, you can eat malatang reasonably if you choose ingredients just enough. Yangguofu Malatang is a famous franchise where you can taste malatang from mainland China. If you like Malatang, it seems worth visiting the Pearl Plaza branch, the first branch in Vietnam.
