Recently, after Haidilao announced that customers can bring their own ingredients to cook in-store, many have gone to test it out. Netizen Pei Yuxiang also shared his experience of bringing his own ingredients to Haidilao on the Facebook group “Travel Is So Much Fun!”. He first purchased at Carrefouringredients including garland chrysanthemum, live Boston lobster, water spinach, giant clams, plus a bottle of champagne. Total dining time: 4 hours. Final bill: only ¥260 for the spicy and pork tripe chicken soup bases ordered that day.

They also learned online that bringing your own ingredients is allowed, so they prepared a variety of items, even live lobsters. Pei Yuxiang asked in advance, and the staff said they could help with processing, and explained that no fees would be charged for bringing your own ingredients. They even asked if he needed help with preparation.

For vegetable items, the staff washed them before placing them on plates. Seafood was arranged on ice at the bottom and decorated on the plate. The staff also mentioned that this initiative currently has no end date and guests are welcome to bring ingredients not on the menu.
