Perched on Level 3 of the Emporium, this CBD hotpot destination delivers communal huǒguō dialed all the way up. Tables center around bubbling broths split up to four ways—from a sweet tomato base to a fragrant spicy broth with a real kick. Regulars head straight for the massive DIY condiment bar to blend sesame paste, aromatics, and chili oil while tender lamb slices and Wagyu beef cook in seconds. Service borders on telepathic, with staff offering everything from peeled prawns to complimentary snacks. When the tableside noodle dance begins—ribbons of dough whipping through the air—the whole dining room turns into pure theater.
- Tableside Noodle Dance: Servers twirl fresh ribbons of dough tableside with high-energy choreography before dropping them straight into the broth.
- DIY Dipping Bar: Guests mix custom dipping bowls from a sprawling station stocked with fresh herbs, garlic, sauces, and oils.
- High-Touch Care: Staff handle everything from pouring drinks and peeling prawns to packing gift bags for kids and celebrations.
