Included in the Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand listings for multiple years, Megan’s Kitchen is one of the most talked-about hot pot spots in Hong Kong, Megan’s is famous for thinking outside the box (or pot as it may be!) and experimenting with a quirky array of fusion broths, including a tomato and crab soup with a soufflé finish, as well as a fresh lobster borsch.

Nabe One – Locations Across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon And The New Territories

If Japanese Wagyu beef tickles your fancy, this all-you-can-eat hot pot is the place for shabu shabu, also given its affordable pricing. Knowing that we’re not all meat lovers, the restaurant also stocks plenty of fresh veggies to add to your broth – spoiler alert, we tend to go crazy on the mushrooms!

SUPPA – Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island

Set in a casual dai pai dong style (plus a chandelier in the centre!), SUPPA is great for smaller group hot pots (with a couple tables that can fit up to 10) but do not underestimate the portions and the generous spread of ingredients you’ll be in for. If sultry, spicy Sichuan soup base is your jam, SUPPA will sizzle your taste buds, but for those who can’t stomach it, there are many milder soup bases to choose from!
