Big JJ Seafood Hotpot<\/span> opened in a quiet, dead-end lane off Lan Kwai Fong in Hong Kong\u2019s Central neighbourhood in July 2020, garnering acclaim for elevating hotpot \u2013 a dining staple in the city \u2013 with premium ingredients, attentive service and a down-to-earth approach.<\/div>\n

After five and a half years, the local favourite has relocated to one of the most unlikely locations in Central for hotpot: the basement of Landmark Prince\u2019s, a building that houses major fashion brands such as Cartier, Herm\u00e8s and Ralph Lauren.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur concept is to elevate something very local but not always done well to an international standard,\u201d says founder Peter Pang, who considers the space a \u201cglobal flagship store\u201d that will reach a new demographic of diners.<\/p>\n

The restaurant\u2019s Instagram bio, which used to cheekily describe the original venue as \u201ca wine bar with average hotpot food\u201d, has been updated to read \u201cCentral\u2019s gastronomic social club\u201d.<\/p>\n

Pang points out that some nearby establishments, such as the Man Wah restaurant<\/span> in the Mandarin Oriental hotel, reinterpret Cantonese culture very well and are recognised by the likes of Michelin. Meanwhile, when local institutions such as cha chaan tengs gain mass acclaim, they often stick to their original recipes and operations, but may upgrade with nicer interiors and higher prices.<\/div>\n

Instead of following a played-out formula, Pang believes in pushing the envelope so far that hotpot goes beyond its expected target customer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
