There’s something deeply communal about a bubbling hot pot at the centre of a table — steam rising, laughter shared, tongs clicking as you dunk in your favourites. At Melting Pot Café, Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur, the newly launched Jom Makan-Makan Hot Pot Buffet turns this experience into an all-you-can-eat indulgence worth pencilling into your weekly calendar.
Held every Wednesday and Thursday from 6pm to 10pm, this buffet (priced at RM98 nett per adult, with children aged 6–11 enjoying 50% off) combines the satisfaction of hearty broths, quality ingredients, and side stations that stretch well beyond the pot.
The Broth is the Beginning
Diners begin by selecting two soup bases from a flavourful selection. The Signature Curry stands out — a rich, aromatic blend that strikes a satisfying balance between creamy and spicy. It pairs beautifully with proteins like sliced beef and clams, absorbing flavours without overpowering them. Meanwhile, the Tom Yam soup is tangy and assertive, packed with lemongrass and just the right amount of heat, making it the ideal companion for seafood lovers.
For those seeking lighter options, the Tomato Soup provides a gently sweet and savoury base, great for vegetables and tofu. The Chicken Broth is clean and comforting, while the Kimchi Soup is a must for spice seekers — bold, fermented, and full of umami.
Protein-Packed and Premium Picks
The ingredient selection is no afterthought. Australian sliced beef brisket and New Zealand lamb slices are beautifully marbled and quick-cooking — perfect for a few seconds in the simmering pot before melting in your mouth. Seabass, tiger prawns, and asari clams add an oceanic richness to the broths, while chicken remains a versatile crowd-pleaser.
Fresh vegetables such as baby romaine, kangkung, and sweet pea sprouts offer vibrant colour and crunch. Noodle lovers can personalise their bowls with a variety of options, from slippery glass noodles to springy yellow mee. Add in mushrooms, tofu beancurd, and assorted frozen hot pot goodies, and your pot becomes a playground of textures and tastes.
Teppanyaki Theatre and Fried Favourites
Stepping away from the pot, the teppanyaki station is where the real sizzle happens. Lamb shoulder and chicken are grilled to order, served with a choice of soy butter teppan or teriyaki butter sauce — both luscious, with a deep savoury note that coats every bite. The stir-fried vegetables alongside are perfectly charred, smoky and satisfying.
If you need something crispy while waiting for your soup to bubble, the prawn and vegetable tempura, chicken karaage with wasabi mayo, and fried mee mamak deliver on crunch and comfort.
Sweet Endings with Local and Global Flair
Dessert at Melting Pot Café is an event on its own. Highlights include a baked Japanese citrus cheesecake — light and zesty — and a rich chocolate mousse that feels almost sinful. Red velvet cake, mini French pastries, and tiramisu are all executed with finesse. But for a local twist, DIY your own ABC (Ais Kacang) with colourful toppings, or dig into freshly made waffles topped with ice cream, syrups, and sprinkles — a nostalgic finale for the sweet-toothed.
Whether you’re gathering with colleagues after work or reconnecting with family midweek, Concorde Hotel’s Jom Makan-Makan Hot Pot Buffet delivers warmth, variety, and that unmistakable joy of sharing a good meal. With limited seats, early bookings are advised — and once you’ve tried it, this midweek ritual might just become your new tradition.
