About The Drunken Pot
The Drunken Pot name underlines a 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 hotpots, 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.
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 hotpots more accessible than ever.
