We all have a favourite hotpot ingredient that we’d like to pick out before our friends and family can get to them. But picky eaters may have a hard time snagging a specific ingredient out of the thick broth.
Round-built Mandarin Duck Lifting Pot (圓砌鴛鴦升降鍋物 台中老虎城) in Taiwan might have the solution to that in the form of a ‘liftable’ hotpot sieve.
Let’s take a look at this innovative contraption that will hopefully make its way to our shores.
Like most hotpot establishments the restaurant’s hotpot container has room for 2 types of soup bases.
Dairy fans can opt for their fragrant cheese milk soup which boasts of fresh milk with cheese powder and cheese slices. Mala lovers can order their Sichuan-flavoured spicy soup with Chinese medicinal herbs, pork bones and Chao Tian pepper.
But what sets this establishment apart from all the other hotpot eateries is the pot’s unique lifting function.
Before eating, you can push a button to “raise” the pot and put the ingredients inside. Unlike before, there’s no need to fret about splashing broth on the table.
After simmering the ingredients in the soup, push the button to lift the hotpot and kiap the food with ease.
Round-built Mandarin Duck Lifting Pot offers a variety of fresh meat slices and seafood that will undoubtedly be tender and savoury when cooked to perfection.
Take your pick from their melt-in-your-mouth meat platters with tendon beef, frosted beef, and tender chicken which will taste oh so juicy after being boiled in the flavourful soups.
Once you’ve had your fill of all the meat, don’t ignore their Boston Dragon Boat which is literally served in a dragon boat.
Fill up your bellies with this seafood paradise which includes Korean oysters, Boston lobsters, clams, scallops, and white shrimps.
To spice up your hotpot, add this flavor-packed teddy bear which has a secret soup base.
Let the bear soak inside the hot broth which looks like a hot spring as it melts and melds the rich soup flavour with the liquid base.
