Spice World
405 Sussex St, Haymarket
Barbie dolls, hot pot and robots – not three words you would normally hear together. Well Spice World do things differently. The first Australian outpost from one of China’s biggest hot pot chains is nestled in Haymarket and goes beyond and above for their customers.
The journey starts as soon as you arrive, you will be greeted by two robots (with free mints!) who will take you into the restaurant which is essentially a taste of China in Sydney.
The star of the show has got to be the Barbie doll wrapped up in Wagyu beef ready to be undressed and cooked at your table! There’s even stock cubes for your hotpot in the shape of Hello Kitty and teddy bears!
To end your experience you can admire yourself in the ceiling covered in mirrors and use their steam machine to get the smell of hotpot out of your clothes. Make sure you don’t miss out on this incred experience!
