At Dragon Court in Prince Manila Hotel: Freedom of choice in your own hot pot

With countless dining options available today, hot pot has become a comforting favorite for many. Beyond the rich mix of flavors, it’s the experience itself—savoring tender meats, fresh vegetables, and simmering broth right before your eyes—that makes hot pot truly special.

Dining at Dragon Court located inside Prince Manila Hotel in Manila  is a memorable experience that stands out among hot pot offerings. Their Premium Hot Pot is a must-try, especially for groups of up to ten who prefer a more exclusive dining space. Gathered around one large round table, each guest enjoys their own individual hot pot—making the experience both personal and interactive.

One of the highlights is the freedom to customize your meal. From choosing your broth to selecting every ingredient that goes into your pot, the experience is entirely yours. With your own hot pot, you can indulge in exactly what you want, at your own pace.

The variety of broths is impressive. Whether you prefer Chinese herbal, a savory base, something spicy, plain soup or even a combination, the choice is yours. Deciding may be the hardest part, as each option is equally tempting. The good news? Since the offerings are unlimited, you can explore different broths throughout your meal.

The selection of meats and seafood is equally satisfying. In your table for sharing, there are premium cuts such as tenderloin, U.S. beef, sliced pork, beef strips, chicken, and shrimp—paired with an abundance of fresh vegetables, noodles, tofu, taro, and other gourmet ingredients. It’s hard not to try everything, and even harder to wait as each piece cooks to perfection before being enjoyed fresh from the pot.

The dipping station is a highlight on its own. With a wide array of sauces and condiments neatly displayed, you can create your perfect blend to complement every bite. Each dip enhances the flavors, turning every mouthful into a rich, satisfying experience. Here the warning though: once you start, it’s easy to forget about any diet plans.

Equally commendable is the service. The staff is attentive and eager to assist, whether you need help choosing a broth or crafting the perfect dipping sauce. Their warm and ready-to-help presence adds to the overall enjoyment of the meal.

To cap off the experience, I tried the strawberry frappe for a refreshing drink to end the meal. I could say I made the right choice again, it’s a cool and delightful contrast to the warm, savory feast I just had. 

Overall, Dragon Court gave me a hot pot experience that is both memorable and unique. Elevated by the refined ambiance of Prince Manila Hotel, the restaurant offers a sense of exclusivity while remaining surprisingly affordable. The next time you’re craving hot pot, Dragon Court in Prince Manila Hotel is definitely worth a visit.
