Hong Kongers craving a cozy night of hotpot can now get their fix without leaving home, as delivery platform foodpanda launches a citywide “Hearty Hotpot” promotion. Running through October 29, the campaign cuts up to 40% off delivery and takeaway orders from beloved chains like Haidilao, 616 Beef Hotpot, and Xiao Long Kan, while its 24-hour online supermarket pandamart offers buy-one-get-one deals on premium platters and a host of other hotpot essentials.
According to foodpanda’s own data, Hong Kong’s most loved hotpot styles are chicken pot, Chaoshan beef hotpot, and fiery Sichuan mala—and ordering them for home consumption has become mainstream. The company says it designed the promotion to satisfy that growing appetite, partnering with top restaurants to offer exclusive discounts that make restaurant-quality hotpot more accessible than ever.
Restaurant Deals: Dine-In Quality at Your Doorstep
The lineup includes some of the city’s most talked-about hotpot spots. 616 Beef Hotpot and Xiao Long Kan are offering a 25% discount for non-members, while pandapro subscribers can enjoy up to 40% off on delivery orders. Haidilao, famous for its theatrical service, gives a 40% discount on takeaway orders of $80 or more. Niu Da Ren Taiwan Hotpot’s all-you-can-eat menu is available at 25% off for delivery orders above $120, while other restaurants like Good Day Hotpot and Uncle Fong’s Chongqing Hotpot offer discounts ranging from 15% to 20%.
These deals allow customers to enjoy a restaurant-grade spread without the wait or the travel—simply order through the app and the hotpot arrives at home.
Pandamart: Stock Up on Wagyu and More
For those who prefer to build their own hotpot from scratch, pandamart’s limited-time offers are a bonanza. The star deal is the US Angus beef platter (300g, combining ribeye, brisket, and neck) at buy-one-get-one-free, bringing the average cost down to just $90 per pack. Members can also snag a Japanese A5 Saitama Wagyu sukiyaki cut (240g) for a member-only price of $268, a $100 saving.
Other highlights include Teo Chew beef balls at $18 for pandapro subscribers (down from $43), frozen Hiroshima oysters for $59, and premium soup bases like Daisho Sukiyaki or Nissui Sesame Soy Milk broth for $28 each. Even drinks are covered: a six-pack of Asahi autumn ale is $88 for members, perfect for pairing with a bubbling pot.
A Shift in Hong Kong’s Dining Culture
This promotion reflects a broader trend: Hongkongers are increasingly embracing home dining without sacrificing quality. Whether it’s ordering a full hotpot from a restaurant or sourcing top-tier ingredients to cook at home, the platform’s dual approach caters to both convenience seekers and cooking enthusiasts.
“Hotpot has always been a social, family-oriented meal, and now it’s easier to bring that experience home,” a foodpanda spokesperson noted. With the colder months approaching, the timing of the campaign taps into both seasonal cravings and the ongoing preference for flexible dining options.
As the offers run until October 29, customers are advised to check the app for specific product availability and terms. With stock limited on items like the wagyu and beef platter, early ordering is recommended. For those looking to upgrade their at-home hotpot game without breaking the bank, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
