Hotpot lovers, you don’t want to miss out on this deal: CouCou Hotpot is running a $9++ soup base promotion from now till 31 May 2024, on weekdays before 7pm at their Suntec and Jewel restaurants, as well as all day, every day at their i12 Katong branch! All you need to do is spend a minimum of $68++ per table—time to jio your foodie friends for a hearty steamboat sesh.  In case you’re unfamiliar with the brand, the famous Taiwanese-style hotpot chain is most known for their unique broths and a wide variety of platters.  They also offer an Appetizers Buffet that’s affordably priced at $3.90++ per person, which includes free-flow condiments and unlimited servings of lu rou fan AKA Taiwanese braised pork rice!  If you need some recommendations on what broth to order, look no further. You won’t go wrong with their Green Peppercorns & Avocado Soup Base (U.P. $24++ for Twin, $38++ for Single). With this weekday promotion, you’re only paying $9++ for the single pot and $18++ for the double—an amazing deal in our books. Regulars love this unique broth, which features piquant and spicy green peppercorns tempered by creamy avocado slices. The soup has just the right amount of spice, offset by the buttery texture and mildly nutty flavour of the avocado.  Otherwise, those who don’t deal well with spicy food can opt for the Coconut Chicken Soup Base (U.P. $24++ for Twin, $38++ for Single) instead. It stars actual coconut flesh, imparting a sweetness and fragrance to the simple yet comforting chicken broth.  Other soups that are part of the $9++ promotion include the Tomato with Beef Bone Soup Base (U.P. $24++ for Twin, $38++ for Single) and Fresh Mushroom Soup Base (U.P. $24++ for Twin, $38++ for Single). You’ll also get to pick from an assortment of platters for your hotpot, from meat and seafood to fresh veggies. The Shirobuta Pork Belly Slices ($18++/150g) platter is popular for its rich taste and melt-in-the-mouth texture.  Else, beef lovers can go for the USDA Choice Beef Short Ribs ($39++/180g), well-marbled with an excellent flavour.  Seafood fans are not left out, either. Featuring Japanese scallops, abalone, and surf clams, the Seafood Combo ($59.50++, medium) is a great choice if you’re dining in a group of two to three.  Prawn paste is a must-have when it comes to hotpot, so don’t forget to order the Mashed Prawn Paste ($18++/150g), where fresh prawns are hand-pounded and formed into a mound, then scooped into bite-sized balls and added directly into the steamboat broth. Alternatively, get the Meatball Combo ($24.50++) to share; Combo 1 comes with milkfish, pork, and Fuzhou fish balls, while Combo 2 swaps out the pork for cuttlefish.  Wash everything down with a refreshing beverage; CouCou Hotpot is also known for their XXL bubble tea, which comes in a giant 650ml cup when you order the iced version. You won’t go wrong with the Da Hong Pao Bubble Milk Tea ($6) or Classic Bubble Milk Tea ($5.30). While you’re there, snag yourself some dining deals by signing up as a member on their iXiabu App!
