your fav jb hotpot spot cant compare to mine 🫢
so my boyfriend and i randomly went to ksl to fix my screen protector and the lady doing it told us a new hotpot place just opened and gave us a voucher.
when we tried getting there, we struggled to find it because they weren't on google maps yet 🤷🏻♀️
🪟 the vibe
istg every hotpot place now wants to be haidilao so bad but not this. it is giving random hotpot place in a back alley type vibe with posters all over the wall. i vibe with it so much, it honestly made the food taste better. 🤏🏼
🍢 the concept
personally i love the concept of picking out your own ingredients. I find it super interactive because you can just take whatever you want. 😮💨
🍲 the broth (the real star)
okay but the aesthetics and concept is just the cherry on top. the BROTHS???? please it is to die for. you need to get the mala milk soup and fish maw chicken soup. the mala milk is so rich and the fish maw chicken is literally so comforting. 🤤
📍369 Street Vendor Hotpot (3 locations)
rating: 10/10
When I first heard about 369 Street Vendor Hotpot from a random voucher, I wasn’t expecting much, but it turned out to be a hidden gem in JB worth shouting about. The struggle to find this place was real since it’s not even listed on Google Maps yet, which made the experience all the more adventurous and authentic. Unlike the polished, chain-style hotpot places that try to replicate Haidilao’s vibe, 369 Street Vendor Hotpot embraces a casual, back-alley atmosphere decorated with quirky posters, which instantly set a cozy and unpretentious scene. What I really loved was the self-service concept where you get to handpick your ingredients. This interactive style makes dining more fun and personalized—you’re in full control of what goes into your hotpot, from fresh vegetables to jumbo crabsticks, which they do amazingly well here. It felt like a real street food experience but with a cleaner and more organized setup. But what truly elevated this spot were the broths. The mala milk soup was rich, creamy, and packed with a perfect spicy kick that tantalized my taste buds. The fish maw chicken soup was the ultimate comfort broth—warm, nourishing, and deeply flavorful, perfect on a day when I craved something soothing. It’s clear that the broths here are crafted with careful attention and high-quality ingredients. Also, the three locations around JB make it quite accessible, from KSL to Permas Jaya, each receiving rave reviews for freshness, taste, and service. The price range is reasonable for the quality, which makes it ideal for casual hangouts or a quick, satisfying meal. If you’re in JB and a hotpot fan, this is a must-visit spot that offers an authentic local food experience unlike any other.
