🍲 Review: 小团圆砂锅菜 Small Reunion Restaurant (Eco Botanic)

Tucked away in Eco Botanic, Small Reunion Restaurant is a hidden gem that truly lives up to its name. Just a week old, it already feels like a place you’d want to return to—not just for the food, but for the warm, down-to-earth experience it offers. Specializing in regional Chinese cuisine from Dong Bei, Sichuan, and Hunan, the menu is full of bold, hearty flavors that feel like they’ve come straight from someone’s home kitchen. Everything is served in claypots, which isn’t just for show—it keeps the food hot and intensifies the aroma, making each dish feel comforting and rustic. What really stood out for me was the service. The staff, likely the owners themselves, were genuinely welcoming and eager to share their love for the food. They took time to explain the dishes, offer recommendations, and made sure we felt right at home. It’s the kind of hospitality that makes a meal memorable. Prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. For a new place, Small Reunion already has the charm of a long-loved neighborhood spot. If you’re after authentic Chinese comfort food with heartfelt service, this place is definitely worth checking out. #summervacay #smallreunionrestaurant #小团圆砂锅菜 #ecobotaniceats #claypotcomfort #chineseregionalcuisine #dongbeiflavors #sichuanheat #hunanspice #homecookedgoodness #johorfoodie #hiddengemjohor #feelslikehome
