Ever tried uni (sea urchin) hotpot? Well, now you can at Japanese restaurant Torikin, which is offering this limited edition hotpot to celebrate its second anniversary and Chinese New Year 2017. The broth is basically rich uni essence mixed into bonito stock, into which you can dip seafood items like prawns, scallops, salmon and tuna — shabu-shabu style. If you need carbs to sustain you, mix the rice into what’s left of the soup at the end of the meal for a bowl of uni porridge.
Orders of uni-infused hotpot are limited each day, so make reservations to ensure your spot. For the CNY 2017 period, Torikin is open daily for dinner and lunch only on weekends.
The uni hotpot is available at Torikin, #01-14/16 Crown Centre, 557 Bukit Timah Rd. $86.90/person.
