A popular Kowloon City eatery is igniting the city’s food scene with a new Taiwanese-style chicken pot buffet, offering unlimited refills starting at just $99 per person—a move that is already being hailed by netizens as the “ceiling of cost performance.”
The restaurant, “等等HEA” (Deng Deng HEA), located at 41 Fuk Lo Tsun Road in Kowloon City, has unveiled a limited-time promotion that allows diners to feast on an endless supply of Taiwanese chicken pot, premium American beef, hot pot sides, Taiwanese snacks, and grilled skewers. For those seeking an even more extravagant experience, an upgrade option transforms the meal into a 150-minute extravaganza featuring Angus beef plate tendon, Australian wagyu, and grilled eel—or swaps the chicken pot for a whole grilled fish.
The $99 Deal: A Bargain Hunter’s Dream
Starting at just HK$99 per person, the base package offers 88 minutes of uninterrupted indulgence. Diners choose between a classic Taiwanese chicken pot or a spicy Sichuan-style version as their main course. The spread includes:
- Appetizers: Hand-smashed cucumber, cold wood ear salad
- Taiwanese Snacks: Oyster minced pork rice (Wanhua style), handmade taro balls, Keelung tempura, Shilin salt and pepper chicken, garlic-spiced pig ears, soy-marinated tamago, and Ah-Zong noodle soup with chili sauce
- Hot Pot Ingredients: Premium American beef, Penghu pork balls, fish balls, luncheon meat, dumplings, and fresh vegetables like white radish, lettuce, and baby bok choy
- Grilled Skewers: Beef, lamb, butter mini skewers, chicken skin, pork belly, and chicken gizzards
For an additional HK$30 per person, diners can upgrade to a whole grilled fish—available in spicy, Sichuan pickled vegetable, or tomato broth—making it a versatile option for groups with varying tastes.
The Premium Upgrade: 150 Minutes of Luxury
For those with bigger appetites, the HK$199 per person premium package extends the feast to 150 minutes. This tier unlocks a secret menu and higher-grade ingredients:
- Meat Selection: Angus beef plate tendon, Spanish Iberico pork belly, Australian wagyu, New Zealand grass-fed lamb rolls, and premium American beef
- Signature Add-ons: Unlimited servings of “waterfall” crab roe noodles or rice, plus hidden menu items like spicy duck blood, seven-spice enoki mushrooms, Taiwanese rice wine chicken wings, and grilled eel in sauce
- All previous items from the base package remain available
What Netizens Are Saying
Early reviews on social media have been overwhelmingly positive. One diner posted, “For $99, you get unlimited beef, skewers, and even crab roe noodles—this is literally the CP value ceiling.” Another commented, “The grilled fish upgrade is a game changer. We went for the pickled vegetable version, and it was perfectly tangy and spicy.”

The promotion comes with a few conditions. A sauce fee and 10% service charge apply at the restaurant. On Fridays, weekends, public holidays, and eves of public holidays, an additional surcharge of HK$28 per person is added.

Broader Implications for Hong Kong’s Dining Scene
This launch reflects a growing trend in Hong Kong’s competitive food and beverage market: affordable, all-you-can-eat formats that blend regional cuisines with local preferences. As inflationary pressures continue to affect household spending, restaurants are increasingly turning to value-driven promotions to attract crowds. The success of “等等HEA” could spur similar offers from competitors, particularly those in Kowloon City—a district already known for its diverse dining options.
For consumers, this means more opportunities to enjoy high-quality hot pot and Taiwanese cuisine without breaking the bank. Whether you are a spice lover, a meat enthusiast, or simply looking for a fun group dining experience, this chicken pot buffet offers a compelling reason to gather your friends and head to Kowloon City.
Actionable Tip: To maximize value, consider visiting on a weekday to avoid the weekend surcharge, and bring a group of four or more to share different upgraded options like the grilled fish and crab roe noodles.
