Where two traditions meet
David’s Hot Pot in Melbourne combines traditional Sichuan ingredients with premium Australian beef tallow, to provide an exciting variety of soup bases.
A Balanced Experience
Sichuan hot pot was originally designed to balance the damp climate of Sichuan. While this medicinal effect isn’t needed in Australia, the rich spices can still be
intense. That’s why we pair our hot pot with Traditional Sichuan Cooling Tea – a refreshing herbal drink that helps balance the body and enhances the dining experience.
