 ● The Royal Collection Hot Pot

Created by the well-known coffee chain 85°C, which has ventured into the hot pot dining scene, The Royal Collection Hot Pot draws inspiration from the opulence of Empress Wu Zetian's era and the nourishing recipes beloved by Imperial Concubine Yi. It features a slow-simmered broth concept based on “tasting, savoring, dipping, and returning,” incorporating a variety of modern, premium ingredients to bring a millennia-old royal hot pot experience back to life. Not only is the broth delicious, but the wide selection of high-quality ingredients also offers great satisfaction.
