COVID-19 may have restricted our travelling plans and foodie trips, but it has not stopped us from enjoying authentic, international experiences through dining. These include the soon-to-open Kee Wah Bakery from Hong Kong, 7-Eleven Tokyo Banana pre-order, and Popular hotpot chain Coucou Hotpot, which is set to open in December this year.

Coucou Hotpot, which was founded by Chinese brand Xiabu Xiabu in 2016, is famed for serving Taiwanese-style hotpot and bubble tea, reminding us of Yanxi Palace Steamboat. They’ve got over 100 stores within China, and four outlets in Hong Kong to date. This December, we’ll have our very own Coucou Hotpot restaurant in Suntec City.
Although we don’t know the exact date of opening, Coucou Hotpot will be located on level three of Suntec City’s North Wing.

We are hoping that the Singaporean outpost of Coucou Hotpot will sport a similar luxurious dining experience, as it is standard in their Chinese outlets, with classy, sleek concepts that see traditional, yet modern vibes.
Although Coucou Hotpot’s menu for this opening has yet to be revealed, they did release some sneak peeks of items that we can look forward to.

One of them is the selection of soup bases for your hotpot meal. Currently, only two flavours have been disclosed: the Pork with Chinese Sauerkraut Broth, and Bovine Bone with Tomato Broth, AKA a beef bone and tomato soup base. Although we don’t know how many more will be available, we hope there’ll at least be five to seven broths in total, based on what’s offered at current outlets overseas.

You can also expect a slew of vegetables, meat and seafood options with premium items like a Wagyu Platter with A4 Japanese cuts, and Boston lobster with abalone, razor clams and more.

Other seafood items that we hope to see on the menu include Coucou Hotpot’s Prawn Platter, and a Seafood Combo which features sashimi, crab, and abalone.

Besides hotpot, Coucou Hotpot will also be serving a selection of Taiwanese tea, including the all-time-favourite Taiwanese bubble tea. For boozy options, check out their Taiwanese beer, Green Tea Gin Tonic and more.
As with the other outlets in China, prices at Coucou Hotpot are generally mid to high, so we’ll have to wait to see what the prices here will be like when the menu is out.
To keep yourself up to date on their menu and opening, check out their Instagram page or Facebook page. In the meantime, check out Suntec City’s new opening—Kiwami, a ramen and gyoza bar. Alternatively, read our hotpot food guide to satisfy your cravings.
