The Year of the Rooster is fast approaching and most families would have already started, or are in the midst of brainstorming for an ideal venue to hold their Chinese New Year reunion dinners. For many of us, reunion dinners carry an important and special place in our hearts – it is one of the rare occasions when every member of the family takes time off their busy schedules to come together and spend precious moments as one family; to reconnect and reminisce good old times.

Hot pot dining is hugely popular in Asia. It is a hot-favourite for reunion dinners during the Chinese New Year, and for good reasons. Firstly, it provides the right setting and atmosphere for people to connect face-to-face as they gather at a table. 

Secondly, the nature of a hot pot meal is such that it ‘forces’ you to slow down, take time to prepare your food, wait for the fire to warm the soup and then pop the ingredients into the pot before waiting (again) for the food to be fully cooked. With this, everyone expects a hot pot session to be a casual and relaxing affair that allows time for extended conversations with one another. Over the years, our JPOT outlets have always been typically filled with the chatter and laughter from family gatherings and friends’ meetup sessions. The euphoria felt at these occasions certainly heightens when Chinese New Year is around the corner.

Be it a simple gathering amongst friends or a homely dinner with your loved ones, JPOT is the perfect place for any of these occasions. In this New Year, we look forward to witnessing more heartwarming moments at JPOT, where families and friends bond with one another over a meal, creating memories that will last for a long time!

At JPOT, every diner gets to enjoy their hot pot in a soup base of their choice. From our signature JPOT Superior Broth to Bak Kut Teh, from Laksa to Silky Porridge, JPOT promises something to satisfy the taste buds of every member of the family.
