Cooling down in this summer heat is taking on a new meaning with the introduction of Fire Well Hotpot’s latest item: a summery watermelon soup base.
Available from today till Sep. 30, the Sai Wan-based hotpot star introduces the watermelon Sir Tang’s soup (HKD268) for the summery months, a hotpot soup base inspired by Sir Tang Shiu-kin, the grandfather of China Tang’s founder Sir David Wing-cheung Tang.
Inviting a concoction of fresh watermelon slices and juice, sea conch, fish maw, Jinhua ham, and Fire Well’s secret broth, the soup base is said to deliver natural fruitiness with a savoury flavour and a non-greasy finish.
Guests are recommended to dunk their hotpot ingredients in the base and sip the savoury watermelon juice post-dunking.
If you prefer more savoury melon flavours, try their second summer hotpot base flavour with the Fire-Well Winter Melon Soup (HKD268).
