A new hot pot dish the restaurant researched in Thailand. Dragon bones are combined with chicken skeletons and simmered for three hours until the meat becomes tender and separates from the bone. Then, a spicy-sour Thai broth is added. This hot pot offers a different texture from typical meat-slice hot pots, delivering an authentic Thai flavor.

Strawberry Cheese Fondue
Handmade cheese is placed at the bottom of the pot and left to set for 10 minutes. Then, a mix of fruits, whipped cream, popcorn, a generous topping of strawberries, blue curaçao jelly, and ice cream (optional) are added. Finally, strawberry sauce and condensed milk are drizzled on top. Dry ice creates a cascading smoke effect, giving the illusion of a steaming hot pot.
