KKday has launched its 2026 Food Awards with an exclusive collaboration at Ben Dian Taiwan Hotpot in Olympian City, offering a limited-time flash sale beginning September 7, featuring an innovative dual-concept dining experience that combines hotpot and teppanyaki for as low as HK$84 per person during lunch.
The renowned travel and lifestyle platform’s annual culinary event returns with a seven-day promotional window from September 7 to September 13, giving diners the chance to secure deeply discounted buffet packages at the Tai Kok Tsui outlet. The deal, which runs through September 13 at 23:59, covers dining periods from September 8 to October 8, excluding select dates. Customers must book for at least two guests and pay a 10% service charge based on the original menu price via electronic payment upon arrival.
A Two-in-One Dining Concept Redefines Buffet Culture
Ben Dian Taiwan Hotpot at Olympian City Phase 3 has introduced what it calls a “one-person hotpot meets teppanyaki buffet,” allowing each diner to enjoy both cooking styles at their own table. This format marks a departure from traditional single-concept buffets, offering flexibility for those who crave brothy warmth alongside sizzling grilled meats.
The restaurant presents eight distinct soup bases, categorized into three thematic groups:
- Wellness and nourishment series: Ficus hirta coconut chicken, herbal angelica chicken
- Beauty and freshness series: Rich tomato with pineapple, whitening milk broth
- Bold and savory series: pickled cabbage with pork belly, imperial spicy broth, Taiwanese aromatic satay, and sukiyaki
Dinner guests gain access to a self-serve station featuring Taiwanese street food classics, including Shilin sausage,夜市-style salt and pepper chicken, marinated drunken chicken wings, and durian bombs, recreating the bustling night market atmosphere.

Broader Implications for Hong Kong’s Dining Scene
This collaboration signals a growing trend among Hong Kong restaurateurs to innovate beyond conventional formats, especially as diners increasingly seek value-driven experiences that offer variety in a single visit. The integration of hotpot and teppanyaki—two distinctly different cooking methods—reflects a broader push toward hybrid dining concepts that cater to diverse palates without requiring multiple venues.
For budget-conscious food lovers in Hong Kong, this flash sale represents a rare opportunity to sample premium cuts like Hokkaido and M9 Wagyu at a fraction of the usual cost. However, with limited slots and a strict booking window, early reservation is essential. The promotion’s success may encourage other chains to experiment with similar cross-format bundles in the months ahead.
