Step 1: The Broth — Where Flavor Begins

The broth is the soul of any hot pot, and at The Maroon Room, we offer three expertly crafted bases:

  • Korean Special Broth – Chef’s Signature

    A deeply rich and savory broth made from slow-simmered stock and authentic Korean spices. Comforting, bold, and perfect for meat lovers.

  • Tom Yum Broth

    A Thai favorite — tangy, spicy, and aromatic with lemongrass, kaffir lime, and galangal. Ideal for those who enjoy a zesty kick.

  • Miso Broth

    A Japanese classic, rich in umami, with a warm nutty undertone from fermented soybean paste. Best paired with seafood and vegetables.


Step 2: Fresh Vegetables — The Heart of Balance

We believe the best hot pot is about harmony — balancing indulgence with fresh, wholesome vegetables. Our daily selection includes:

  • Pokchoy – Tender leaves with a slight peppery note.

  • Zucchini – Soft and delicate, perfect for soaking up flavor.

  • Onion – Adds a sweet depth to the broth.

  • Chinese Cabbage – Crisp and light, a hot pot essential.

  • Sliced Bamboo Shoot – Mild and earthy with a unique crunch.

  • White Radish – Sweet and refreshing after simmering.

  • Water Chestnut – Adds freshness and a satisfying bite.

  • Mushrooms – Earthy and umami-rich.

  • Corn – Sweet bursts of flavor in every bite.

  • Lettuce – Light and perfect for quick cooking.

  • Broccoli – Nutty and firm, holding texture beautifully.


Step 3: Noodles & Eggs — The Comfort Finish

Hot pot is incomplete without the final, comforting touch of noodles. We serve Korean Japchae Noodles, made from sweet potato starch for a silky, chewy texture that absorbs every drop of flavor.

For extra richness, whisk a raw egg into your bowl of steaming broth — a traditional method for a velvety, indulgent finish.


Step 4: Premium Meats & Seafood — The Indulgence

We take pride in sourcing fresh, high-quality proteins for our hot pot:

  • Chicken – Tender and versatile.

  • Korean Galbi Chicken – Marinated in a sweet-savory Korean sauce.

  • Bacon Slices & Smoked Bacon – Rich, smoky indulgence.

  • Pork Belly Slices – Melt-in-your-mouth layers of flavor.

For seafood lovers:

  • Crab Sticks – Mild and sweet.

  • Prawns – Juicy and succulent, cooked in seconds.

  • Squids – Tender with a gentle ocean flavor.

  • Salmon Slices – Buttery and delicate.


How to Enjoy Hot Pot Like a Local Pro

  1. Start with the broth — Let it come to a gentle boil before adding anything.

  2. Cook proteins first — Chicken, pork, and bacon infuse the broth with flavor.

  3. Add vegetables gradually — Keep the broth balanced and flavorful.

  4. Seafood goes last — To keep it tender and fresh.
