Although the COVID-19 restrictions have made our reunion dinners much more different than that of past years, there’s still one thing that hasn’t changed.
And that’s most of our favourite reunion dinner meal: hotpot.
With most of us having our reunion dinner at home, we might be considering having a traditional hot pot with all our favourite ingredients.
But what’s better than hotpot? Self-heating ones that don’t require you to do the dishes afterwards.
Also, because these hotpots typically come in one-person servings, you can opt to purchase various different flavours so that the entire family gets to share and taste all the flavours!
(P.S. You can also buy these self-heating hot pots for your upcoming Valentines’ Day dinner… Even if you don’t have anyone to spend it with.)
Here are our top seven recommendations for self-heating hotpots.
