Hong Kong Restaurant Review: Fung Pot Chicken Hotpot in Sha Tin

Today, I met up with a friend I hadn't seen in a long time for dinner. After meeting a client in the Sha Tin area, I noticed a chicken hotpot restaurant in Kings Wing Plaza, Shek Mun, that seemed pretty good. They even offer a 20% discount for dinner, so we decided to give it a try. My friend can't handle spicy food, so we didn't order the regular chicken hotpot. Instead, we opted for the coconut chicken hotpot. The broth was sweet and refreshing, and the staff even opened a fresh coconut on the spot, pouring the coconut water into the broth. The soup was incredibly sweet and light, not greasy at all, and we ended up drinking several bowls without realizing it. I recommend scraping some coconut meat into the broth for extra flavor. The coconut chicken hotpot came with half a chicken, which was quite a generous portion. When it arrived at the table, it looked like a whole chicken, and it was more than enough for two people. The chicken was tender and smooth; I suggest not cooking it for too long and just letting it simmer on low heat for the best texture. We also ordered the premium local hand-cut beef neck. The marbling was beautiful, with a good balance of fat and lean meat, and it had a rich beef flavor. The portion was quite large and worth the price. Additionally, I recommend trying their signature crispy cheese rolls. The rolls had a fragrant bean flavor, and the added cheese made them irresistibly delicious. They also have seaweed crispy rolls, which I plan to try next time. We also ordered the handmade four-treasure meatballs, including cuttlefish balls, shrimp balls, dace fish balls, and more. The cuttlefish ink balls were the highlight, with a bouncy texture and bits of cuttlefish inside, providing a great mouthfeel. The most surprising part of the meal was the coconut chicken soup, which was incredibly sweet and refreshing. We drank several bowls without even realizing it and will definitely come back for more.
