Finding a satisfying hotpot meal for two in Singapore without watching the bill climb too quickly can sometimes be a challenge. That is why the latest Haidilao Novena Power Up Duo Set may be worth a closer look, especially for those planning a weekday lunch or an early dinner.
From 1 to 30 September 2026, diners visiting the Haidilao Novena outlet can enjoy the Power Up Duo Set at S$29.90++ for two people. More importantly, this is not simply a small fixed meal where the choices are already decided. The set lets two diners select a range of ingredients across several categories, making it possible to build a hotpot meal according to their own preferences.
For friends looking for an affordable catch-up, couples planning a casual meal, or colleagues wanting something different during the week, this could be an interesting option to consider.
What Is Included in the S$29.90++ Set?
The main attraction of the Power Up Duo Set is the amount of choice packed into the promotion. Instead of receiving just a couple of basic ingredients, diners can choose items from premium meat, meat dishes, classic hotpot ingredients, staples, sides and even Häagen-Dazs desserts.
For the premium meat selection, diners can choose one option. Choices include Iberico Pork, Angus Topblade or Mountain-Grown Pork Collar.
For another meat selection, there is a choice of one from several familiar hotpot favourites. Options include Sliced Pork Belly, Haidilao Signature Tender Fish Fillet, Tender Chicken Slices, US Grain Fed Beef Karubi and Pork Jowl.
This gives diners a chance to mix things up rather than having both meat selections feel too similar. Those who enjoy pork can go for the Iberico Pork and Sliced Pork Belly combination, while beef lovers may prefer Angus Topblade with US Grain Fed Beef Karubi.
Plenty of Classic Hotpot Ingredients to Choose From
The set becomes even more interesting with four classic hotpot dishes included.
The selection features plenty of ingredients that can be dropped into a bubbling hotpot, including Luncheon Meat, Beancurd Skin, Potato Slices, White Radish, Thin Vermicelli, Handmade Fish Balls with Fish Roe, Quail Eggs, Fishball, Crab Stick, Cheese Tofu and Tofu Slices.
For those who like vegetables and mushrooms, choices also include Leaf Lettuce, Tender Tips of Bamboo Shoots, Chinese Cabbage and Golden Enoki Mushroom.
With four classic dishes to select, diners can create a combination that suits the whole table. Someone who likes a heavier, more indulgent hotpot can focus on meat and tofu-based choices, while those who prefer something lighter can add more vegetables and mushrooms.
Do Not Forget the Desserts
One detail that makes this promotion more appealing is the inclusion of two Häagen-Dazs desserts.
Diners can choose two scoops from Häagen-Dazs Strawberry, Häagen-Dazs Chocolate or Häagen-Dazs Cookie.
It is a nice way to finish a hotpot meal, particularly after spending time choosing ingredients and enjoying a long catch-up over the table. The dessert choices also add something extra to a set that is already designed for two people.
Staples and a Side Are Included Too
The Power Up Duo Set also includes two staples, with diners able to choose from White Rice, Instant Noodle or Kungfu Noodle.
For those who cannot imagine hotpot without noodles, Kungfu Noodle or Instant Noodle could be the obvious choice. Rice is available for diners who prefer something simple alongside their meal.
There is also one side dish included. Choices are Fried Ham Luncheon, Fried Beancurd or Deep-fried Mini Buns.
Altogether, the combination gives two diners quite a bit to work with. It is less about ordering one specific meal and more about putting together a shared spread.
Want More? Add Skewers for S$3.90
If the standard set does not quite feel like enough, there is also an optional add-on.
For just S$3.90, diners can add their choice of one skewer set. The available options are Squid Tentacle Skewers with 10 pieces, Orleans Chicken Skewers with 5 pieces or Mala Pork Skewers with 5 pieces.
This could be useful for particularly hungry diners or anyone who enjoys having something grilled or skewered alongside their hotpot. At S$3.90, it is also a relatively small addition compared with ordering another full dish separately.
Why This Haidilao Promotion Is Worth Considering
The biggest reason to consider this deal is straightforward: two people can enjoy a varied hotpot meal from S$29.90++, before any applicable taxes or charges.
For a city where dining out can quickly become expensive, having a set that covers premium meat, another meat selection, four classic hotpot dishes, two staples, a side and two desserts makes the promotion worth considering for a weekday treat.
There is also something enjoyable about being able to choose the ingredients. Hotpot is naturally a social meal, so having several choices on the table makes the experience more interactive. One person can pick their preferred meat while the other chooses vegetables, noodles or tofu. Then everything goes into the hotpot and diners can simply take what they fancy as the meal progresses.
The promotion is particularly suited to those who do not want an overly formal meal. A weekday lunch with a friend can easily turn into a longer conversation around the hotpot, while an early dinner can be a good way to take a break after work without committing to an expensive restaurant meal.
The timing of the promotion is important, though. It is not an all-day deal and is aimed specifically at selected weekday dining periods. The offer is available Monday to Thursday before 6pm, while on Friday it is available before 5pm. It is also not valid on weekends or public holidays.
That means diners should plan ahead rather than turning up at the weekend expecting to enjoy the Power Up Duo Set.
What Diners Should Know Before Heading Down
There are several terms and conditions to keep in mind. The promotion is available for dine-in at Haidilao Novena only, so it cannot be used for takeaway or delivery orders.
The hotpot base is not included in the S$29.90++ price, so diners should take this into account when working out the final bill.
The offer also cannot be combined with other promotions or discounts. As with most food promotions, selected items are subject to availability, so a particular ingredient may not always be available when diners visit.
Haidilao also reserves the right to amend the promotion terms and make the final interpretation of the promotion.
A Good Excuse for a Weekday Hotpot
For anyone who enjoys hotpot but is trying to keep weekday dining spending under control, the Haidilao Novena Power Up Duo Set is certainly worth checking out.
At S$29.90++ for two, there is plenty of variety to make the meal feel more substantial than a basic budget set. Premium meat, classic hotpot ingredients, staples, a side and Häagen-Dazs desserts are all part of the selection, while the optional S$3.90 skewer add-on gives diners another way to customise the meal.
The main thing is to remember the promotion timing. This is a weekday-focused offer, so plan a lunch or early dinner from Monday to Thursday, or visit before 5pm on Friday. With the promotion running throughout September, there is still time to arrange a meal with a friend, colleague or hotpot buddy.
For those who have been waiting for a reason to make a weekday hotpot outing, this could be a good one. Just head to Haidilao Novena, choose the Power Up Duo Set, pick the ingredients that sound most tempting and enjoy a leisurely hotpot meal without making the occasion unnecessarily expensive.
