Communal hot pot stall in Food Republic at VivoCity where diners cook fresh meats and seafood in simmering broth at the table.
Imperial Hot Pot sits within the bustling Food Republic food atrium on Level 3 of VivoCity, offering an interactive dining experience built around communal hot pot. Diners choose from a range of set menus, from smaller sets for two to four persons featuring sliced chicken or pork, up to larger spreads for six to eight that include beef, seafood, and Taiwanese sausage, all accompanied by fresh vegetables like broccoli and cabbage.The beauty of hot pot lies in its tableside cooking: simmering broths transform raw ingredients into a personalised meal, and the shared nature of the experience makes it ideal for groups and families. The Food Republic setting keeps things casual and accessible, with pricing that is gentler than standalone hot pot restaurants.
Grab a table at Imperial Hot Pot when you want the warmth and camaraderie of steamboat dining without the premium price tag. It is comfort food at its most social, right in the heart of VivoCity.
