The Drunken Pot Welcomes the Season of Art and Love with
Inspiring and Artful Hot Pot Delicacies to Seasonal Menu

Trendy hot pot dining destination, The Drunken Pot, trail blazes the path in the culinary scene by introducing an inspirational special menu in celebration of art season. 

Inspired by Alice in the Wonderland, The Drunken Pot’s whimsical creations embody the essence of fluidity and boundlessness of art, available from 11 February to 31 May 2019.

Bringing the concept of a lush wonderland into a spring appropriate setting, The Dream Garden of Live Flowers Hot Pot Broth (HK$388) is a feast for the eyes and the stomach.  Combining a selection of five signature soup bases including Sichuan-style Numbingly Spicy Soup, Chicken with Chinese Medicine Soup, Laksa Seafood Soup, Black Truffle with Assorted Mushroom Soup, and Whole Papaya with Snow Fungus in Soup

The broth is topped with a smooth egg white to enhance the texture of the soup bases; sprinkled with colourful edible flowers, this edible work of art is further elevated with dry ice with the Whole Papaya with Snow Fungus in Soup, making this a truly Instagrammable work of art.

Celebrating love and artistic delicacy is the crimson coloured Red Rose Dumplings (HK$88 / 3 pcs).  
Each flower-shaped dumpling is filled with tasteful minced pork and succulent corn   which signifies the blooming of flowers in the spring. It is adorned with silver touches and makes for an impressive dish to share with loved ones.

The Glitzy Cuttlefish Balls (HK$108 / 7 pcs) are edible pieces of art - the colourful shell of each cuttlefish ball mimics that of the rainbow; and hides the taro paste that fills each bite. 
Truly avant-garde is Penguins in Love (HK$98 / 3 pcs) - cuttlefish paste shaped into adorable coloured penguins sit atop ice, with edible glitter giving a sparkling effect to the dish.

Family and friends who wish to indulge in The Drunken Pot’s full repertoire of food meets art can enjoy The Dream Garden of Live Flowers Set (HK$468 per head, for 2 pax or above)

“Hot pot is all about inviting individuals to express their creativity through food, lending multiple interpretations to a classic and integral Hong Kong culinary experience,” shares Ms Vivien Shek. 
“Like art, hot pot has no boundaries and that is why our menu features fantastical anthropomorphic creatures, such as our crowd-pleasing colourful penguins, adorable piglets, cuddly bears and lovable ducklings.”

This culinary foray into the realm of art through taste is simultaneously joined by a journey of visual art, curated to match the ethos of The Drunken Pot.

Since launching in 2015, The Drunken Pot has become a social media phenomenon for its winning concept of ‘new age’ hotpots at The Drunken Pot Tsim Sha Tsui, themed after a rustic fishing market at 2/F, No.8 Observatory Road, Tsim Sha Tsui.

About The Drunken Pot

The name of The Drunken Pot underlines this philosophy, evoking a ‘melting pot’ communal ambience “where different people and ideas get together, often producing something new”. The ‘drunken’ reference also alludes to the inevitable influence of ‘Sake bombs’ in hot pots, and signature house Sake and cocktails as the beverage of choice.

Modern-day health concerns are addressed, with broths made from chicken rather than traditionally cholesterol-laden meat offcuts; while vegetarian broths are also an option.

For traditionalists, familiar home-style favourites and popular recipes like satay broth are still available, but reinterpreted with richer and creamier textures, inspired by home-style recipes from Ms Shek’s hometown of Chaozhou in eastern Guangdong, which is renowned for its amazing food.

Quality ingredients are another key to the concept, from freshest seafood to premium beef and pork choices ranging from local hand-sliced cuts to imported Angus Beef. Exotic ingredients are also introduced, with bi-coloured Xiao Long Bao dumplings stuffed with an eclectic range of fillings including black truffle, crab roe, squid ink, lobster and medicinal recipes.

Along with the restaurant’s private label Nagahama Sake from Shiga is a vintage whisky collection, creative cocktail collection and ice-cold beers.

In 2018, The Drunken Pot first introduces “Hot Pot On-the-Go” service (www.tdpdelivery.com) makes the Brand’s popular hot pots more accessible than ever.
