Food lovers in Singapore will be thrilled to know that Beauty in The Pot is collaborating with UNIQLO to create one-of-a-kind menu item and kawaii T-shirts to be released only during Chinese New Year for a limited time.
For most Singaporeans, a Chinese New Year celebration isn’t complete without hotpot. To satisfy the locals’ never-ending craving for hotpot, homegrown hotpot chain Beauty in The Pot (BITP) joined hands with UNIQLO to co-create a dish: Ebiko Wasabi Prawn Paste. Made with 100% fresh prawn meat, savour the flavours of Japan with a spicy wasabi twist on BITP’s signature Ebiko Prawn Paste dish.
Ringing in the new Lunar Year means wearing new clothes to symbolize a new beginning. In addition to the Chinese New Year special collaboration, UNIQLO launches a t-shirt series, UNIQLO x Beauty in The Pot: Kawaii Friends – four BITP UTme! T-shirt designs available for purchase at $29.90.
Customers who wear the T-shirt at all BITP outlets will enjoy 50% off the exclusive Ebiko Wasabi Prawn Paste, originally priced at $20.80. Paradise Group members will also get 10% off the BITP UTme! T-shirts when they present the Paradise Group app’s home screen at UNIQLO’s cashier.
The BITP dish will be available for delivery and across all Beauty In The Pot outlets, and the t-shirt will be available for a limited time from Jan 29 to Feb 28 at UNIQLO Orchard Central.
