Introducing Hong Kong Hot Pot 香港热锅,
a new hot pot place located at Telawi Square, Bangsar that serves
premium hot pot ingredients. Being only a month old, this hot pot restaurant
located above Tous Les Jours bakery was already fully occupied on the day of our
visit. I suppose the good quality
imported ingredients have got the attention of patrons who spread the news by
word of mouth.
I was amazed to have found this hidden gem on top of the
rows of shops along the famous Telawi street. Being a Hong Kong themed
restaurant, the interior is nicely designed in oriental style with a few
private rooms named after the major cities in Hong Kong.
Upon arrival, we placed our order and checked out the
choices of condiments while waiting. Being someone who can barely consume her
food without any chili/sauce/spices, I was overjoyed to see so many types of
condiments available! There were freshly cut cili padi, soy sauce, coriander,
garlic, spring onion, sha cha sauce and homemade chili sauce. My favourite that
night was none other than the homemade chili sauce as it blended well with most
of our dishes.
For starter, we were served Century Egg.
Soup base, we tried out 4 different types – Signature Pork
Bone Soup, Szechuan Spicy Soup, Century Egg and Coriander Soup and Pumpkin
Soup.
The Signature Pork Bone Soup (RM23) tasted much better than
expected, and I was surprised to have rated it top although I would usually
prefer something spicy. We could taste the natural sweetness of the pork bone
broth which was extremely delicious even on its own!
The Century Egg and Coriander Soup (RM25) was alright but
not exactly my favourite.
I found the Szechuan Spicy Soup (RM25) difficult to drink
due to the overwhelming amount of spices beneath. It was great to dip your
ingredients into it and have a change of taste in between this and the
signature broth though.
As for Pumpkin Soup (RM25), it was sweet and thick, but it
could be quite filling.
Hong Kong Hot Pot serves by ala carte menu, but you may
request for their Mixed Platter (off the menu) priced at RM68 per person. I would strongly recommend the platter as it
is sort of their tasting menu for you to try out a little bit of everything.
The premium items served in the platter: Japanese Half Shell
Scallop, Korean Oyster, Fresh Tiger Prawns, Local Bean Curd Skin (Foo Chook),
Bean Curd Roll (imported from Hong Kong), Crispy Fish Skin (imported from Hong
Kong), Homemade meatballs (prawn balls, squid balls, fish balls), Imported
meatballs (mushroom pork balls, crab roe balls), Homemade Chive Dumplings,
Homemade Prawn Dumplings, Enoki Mushroom, King Oyster Mushroom, Udon, Yee Mee,
Premium Pork Slices, Premium Marbled Beef Slices, Pork Liver Slices, Pork
Kidney Slices.
Portion is for 3 as shown in the picture.
The beef and pork slices tasted equally great! As for the
seafood, they were indeed as fresh as indicated on the menu.
Some of the more memorable items were the Imported Bean Curd
Roll which we were told to dip for only 4 seconds and the Imported Fish Skin
which were only allowed 1 second.
It was an extremely satisfying hot pot meal that night, and
definitely my first hot pot experience with so much premium items served. We
stuffed ourselves mad with whatever the restaurant had to offer, and promised
to come back for more very soon.
