【Romantic Steamboat in Kuching?】Darling Pot

By L3Dah, on Apr 3, 2017

Darling Pot is the most ‘romantic’ steamboat in Kuching! The cozy and casual ambience fully equipped with air conditioner, in addition to over 100 choices of meats, seafoods, vegetables, and homemade foods is waiting for you at Darling Pot~ What’s more is that there’s ‘rose’ in the soup?

  

 

Located strategically at Jalan Tun Jugah, Darling Pot offer their patrons a choice of individual sized Shabu Shabu Hot Pot that costs only RM10 per pot at the Ground Floor, and a chance to enjoy amazing view of the busy road at the 1st Floor, all while enjoying normal sized pot steamboats with your loved ones…

 

 

In terms of foods, the main attractions of Darling Pot is their homemade, imported, and the fresh food ingredients. The owner will visit the market during midnight to secure fresh ingredients to be served the next day.

 

If you’re here with a bigger group, you definitely need to try out the Twin Hot Pot with 2 choices of soup and the one you should definitely order is the Pork Soup Base and Collagen Chicken Soup Base! That’s right, collagen in a steamboat soup~ a whole piece of collagen is extracted to be added to the chicken soup base. While the Pork Soup base comes with a rose made of strips of meats. Remember to put the rose into the soup as soon as it arrives so that the rose will remain intact and will not loosen up.

 

 

Other than these 2, they also have Seafood Soup Base, Assorted Vegetable Soup Base, Spicy Soup Base, and Tom Yum Soup Base too~~

 

The best thing to go along steamboat is? Meat meat meat~~! How can there be steamboat without meat? All the meats are carefully selected and processed to ensure that the customers will have the best dining experience. ㄟ(￣▽￣ㄟ)

 

 

For example, the Five Flower Pork. The pork skin on this 3 layered pork is removed because if the skin is still intact, it will become very chewy and hard when it is dipped into the soup.

 

 

Other than pork, they also have the perfectly prepared Lamb Meat and the High Grade Beef! The meats here are sliced to a consistent thickness that will be cooked instantly with very short waiting time. Be sure not to waste this fine cut of lamb and beef by cooking it too long in the soup ya~

 

 

By now, I’m sure most of you would’ve already noticed the amount of meats given on each plate. We were also shocked at first by the amount of meats given on the plate, but then the owner explained that this is to ensure that his customers can be fully satisfied, and to be honest, we really are satisfied!

 

Next is a signature of Darling Pot, the Chinese Wine Chicken Thigh Meat. The chicken thigh meat is marinated for a long period of time with flower wine and wolfberry, making sure that the meat completely absorbs the flavour of the marinate. The chicken meat is so well marinated that you can still obviously taste the wine even after it is cooked with the hot boiling soup!

 

 

Another signature ingredients that they have here is the Handmade Egg Yolks with Meat. Homemade minced meat with zero artificial flavouring and an secret sauce is topped with an egg yolk. To enjoy this dish, you need to mix well everything in the bowl and form your own meatballs~

 

 

As mentioned earlier, Darling Pot’s specialty is their homemade foods ingredients. Which is why you also HAVE to order their Handmade Prawn Paste and their Homemade Mackerel Fish Paste.

 

 

Of course, other than these crazy delicious homemade ingredients, fresh foods ingredients, and the imported meats, Darling Pot also have a lot of vegetables and conventional Steamboat ingredients for you to choose from~

 

 

They even have a whole section dedicated for vegetarians to be coupled with the Assorted Vegetable Soup Base as mentioned earlier!

 

Darling pot have a whole table of sauces, chilli, garlic, and other ingredients for you too choose from. But you would need to pay RM2 each person because all the sauce and ingredients are prepared fresh for you to fully enjoy the steamboat.

 

 

For the drinks, we recommend this absolutely pure Chilled Red Dragon and the Blue Ocean. The Chilled Red Dragon is, you guessed it, pure dragon fruit juice with a little twist. I’ll let you try it out on your own and see if you can determine the twist. Here’s the hint, pay close attention to the mild flavour other than the sweet taste of the dragon fruit! XD

 

 

At Darling Pot, you will be rewarded a cash voucher worth RM10 for every RM100 spent. The best of all is that let say you collected RM100 worth of cash voucher, you can use all the RM100 cash voucher with no other T&C binding you~ Isn’t that just plain awesome? Because you can now eat EVEN MORE!!!

 

 

So, where to go for a perfect night? Darling Pot la~~ Bring your families, your loved ones, and even your friends to enjoy an epic dining experience at Darling Pot now~~
