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

“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.

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

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.
