The clerk revealed that it is often open until 1 a.m. on weekends to meet the needs of student gatherings.

For £27.9 per person, you can enjoy seafood, fatty beef and dozens of side dishes, with unlimited drinks for £2, which is very cost-effective. The restaurant is open until midnight, especially suitable for many people to chat around the fire. Many international students said that this is the first choice for "healing the soul" after finishing their papers.

Genting not only provides Cantonese clay pot rice and cart noodles, but also combines KTV, games and catering. The hotpot night from Thursday to Sunday lasts until the early morning.
