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 summer months, a hotpot base inspired by Sir Tang Shiu-kin, the grandfather of China Tang’s founder, Sir David Wing-cheung Tang.
Inventing 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 non-greasy finish.
Guests are recommended to dunk their hotpot ingredients into the soup and sip the savoury watermelon juice post-dunking.
If you prefer even more savoury melon flavours, try Fire Well’s second summer hotpot base flavour with the Fire Well winter melon soup (HKD268).
