If you’re a fan of hot pot and looking for a satisfying dinner spot in Kuala Lumpur, I recommend checking out the Jom Makan-Makan Hot Pot Buffet at Melting Pot Café, located inside Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur. I recently dined there and had a great experience that’s worth sharing with all food lovers.
This all-you-can-eat buffet takes place every Wednesday and Thursday, from 6.00pm to 10.00pm. It’s priced at RM98 nett per adult, and children aged 6 to 11 enjoy 50% off. For the variety and quality offered, I found it to be excellent value for money.
One of the highlights is getting to choose two soup bases for your hot pot. I personally went with the Signature Curry and Clear Chicken soups – both packed with flavour and the right level of spices & herbs. I highly recommend the curry broth which was rich and flavourful, while the chicken soup offered a clean, comforting taste – a great balance to suit different preferences. Other soup options available include Tom Yam, Kimchi, and Tomato.
The ingredient spread is impressive. I enjoyed premium cuts of Australian beef brisket and New Zealand lamb slices, along with chicken, seabass, tiger prawns, and asari clams. Everything was fresh and served in generous portions. There’s also a wide variety of vegetables like long white cabbage, spinach, romaine lettuce, kangkung, and sweet pea sprouts, along with tofu, mushrooms, frozen items, and several types of noodles to customise your pot.
What makes this buffet more special is that it goes beyond just hot pot. The teppanyaki station was a personal favourite – sizzling hot lamb shoulder and chicken grilled to order, with a choice of soy butter or teriyaki butter sauce. They also served tasty sides like prawn and vegetable tempura, fried mee mamak, Yong Chow fried rice, and chicken karaage with wasabi mayo.
Dessert lovers won’t be disappointed. The selection includes baked Japanese citrus cheesecake, red velvet cake, tiramisu, chocolate mousse, and assorted mini French pastries. There’s also a DIY ABC (Ais Kacang) station and freshly made waffles with ice cream and sweet toppings – a perfect way to end the meal.
If you’re planning to visit, I recommend booking early as seating is limited.
