Penang’s FIRST Zui Ma Tou Hot Pot Is Now Open With A Unique Tea House Concept
If you’re a true hotpot lover, then Zui Ma Tou Hot Pot is no stranger to you. Fun fact: multi-hyphenate Malaysian YouTuber and content creator, Chan Phei Yong, more popularly known as Phei Yong, announced his official affiliation with Synergy Dining Group as the hot pot brand’s corporate partner.
“I eat hot pot frequently, but I realize while we have so many varieties of hot pot restaurants in Malaysia, there are not that many authentic Sichuan hot pot around,” said Phei Yong, explaining why he invested in the Zui Ma Tou Hot Pot brand alongside Synergy Dining.
“As we know, Penang is the top food destination in the country. But before deciding to venture into Penang, I asked some of my Penang friends to try out Zui Ma Tou in the Klang Valley first, after which I received their seals of approval,” he added, explaining the reason behind the expansion of the hot pot brand into Penang.
“I am pleased to work with Synergy Dining alongside the support shown by the Penang government through the state’s tourism and creative economy exco in attracting more tourists particularly from China to visit the state. It is the aim of Zui Ma Tou to become one of the top must-visit restaurants in the Penang tourism scene,” stated Phei Yong.
The outlet was officiated by Penang Exco for Tourism and Creative Economy, Wong Hon Wai, with the aim to entice more tourist arrivals from China to Penang in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of Malaysia-China diplomatic relations.
