When it comes to enjoying hotpot, Haidilao has always been a name that excites food lovers across Malaysia. From their signature soup bases to their impeccable service, they’ve built a loyal following who return time and again for a comforting, flavourful dining experience. But just when customers think they’ve seen it all, Haidilao has introduced a new twist — a Hidden Menu featuring Elegant Bites that can now be added to any hotpot meal for only RM4.99.
Yes, that’s right — for less than RM5, diners can indulge in a unique selection of Malaysian-inspired sweet and savoury bites that pair beautifully with the rich hotpot flavours Haidilao is known for. This hidden gem of a promotion adds a special flair to the usual hotpot ritual and gives every visit a hint of discovery.
Let’s dive into what this Hidden Menu is all about and why it’s worth exploring during your next trip to Haidilao.
What is the Haidilao Hidden Menu?
Unlike the regular menu that diners are familiar with, the Hidden Menu offers a small but curated selection of what Haidilao calls Elegant Bites. These are localised delights designed to be both nostalgic and delicious, combining textures and flavours that work harmoniously alongside a hearty hotpot meal.
This limited-time offer is not advertised prominently, making it a delightful surprise for regular customers and a worthwhile treat for first-timers. It’s available for dine-in only and is offered at a special price of RM4.99 per table per visit, provided a hotpot base is ordered.
What Can Diners Expect from the Hidden Menu?
Haidilao’s Hidden Menu focuses on traditional Malaysian elements with a modern twist, showcasing sweet and savoury treats that are deeply rooted in local culture. Here’s what diners can choose from:
-
Nyonya Kuih
A colourful assortment of classic layered kuih and mini kuih, this sweet option adds a traditional Peranakan touch to the dining experience. It’s a comforting taste of heritage that rounds out a spicy or savoury hotpot beautifully. -
Crispy Mini Tofu
These bite-sized golden tofu cubes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, sprinkled with a flavourful dipping powder that makes them surprisingly addictive. They serve as the perfect light appetiser before the main hotpot indulgence. -
Crispy Glutinous Rice Balls with Peanut (Exclusive to East Malaysia branches)
Diners in Kuching and selected East Malaysian outlets can enjoy this delightful snack. The rice balls are lightly fried, filled with ground peanuts, and offer a lovely chewy-crispy balance. It’s one of those nostalgic flavours that’s hard to resist.
Each of these Elegant Bites is served in a single portion, and diners may only choose one per table per visit.
How to Redeem the Elegant Bites
The process is simple, and the reward is tasty. Here’s how it works:
-
Visit any participating Haidilao Malaysia outlet.
-
Order any hotpot base from the menu.
-
Ask to add an Elegant Bite for only RM4.99.
-
Enjoy one serving per table — it’s an exclusive bonus, not a buffet item.
Do note, this promotion is available for dine-in only and is subject to daily availability. Once the day’s allocation is finished, that’s it until tomorrow.
Also, availability of menu items may vary depending on region — with the Crispy Glutinous Rice Balls with Peanut served only in East Malaysia outlets like those in Kuching.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss This Deal
Let’s be honest — Haidilao hotpot meals aren’t usually associated with promotions this low. The RM4.99 price tag is practically a giveaway when one considers the quality of ingredients, service, and ambiance Haidilao is known for. So why should one seize this opportunity?
1. Affordable Indulgence
For just under RM5, diners get to try something off-menu, something that feels exclusive. It adds a fun new layer to the dining experience, especially for regulars who want to mix things up without spending extra.
2. A Taste of Malaysia’s Heritage
These bites aren’t just random snacks — they’re rooted in local culinary traditions. From the vibrant hues of Nyonya kuih to the rich earthiness of peanut-filled rice balls, this menu is a mini celebration of Malaysian flavours.
3. Perfect for Sharing
Hotpot is a communal meal, and these Elegant Bites are ideal for sharing around the table. Whether it’s a family outing or a dinner with friends, it adds a special communal feel to the meal — like uncovering a delicious secret together.
4. Great for First-Timers and Regulars
If someone’s visiting Haidilao for the first time, the Hidden Menu gives them a reason to come back again. And for regulars, it refreshes the experience with something new and delightful.
5. Limited-Time Excitement
There’s something fun about discovering something that’s not always available. It turns a regular dining experience into something a little more memorable. But don’t wait too long — promotions like this don’t stay around forever.
