As the rainy season rolls in and the chill of evening showers sets in, few things are more comforting than a bubbling hot pot or a rich, steaming bowl of shabu-shabu right at home. If anyone has been craving a Japanese hot pot feast without paying restaurant prices, DON DON DONKI Malaysia is delivering just the kind of deal to turn those dinner dreams into reality.
From 1 to 30 June 2025, DON DON DONKI Malaysia is running its Hot Pot & Shabu-Shabu Fair, an exciting promotion that highlights premium Japanese meats, restaurant-quality meal kits, and big discounts of up to RM59.90 off. This limited-time event is available at all DONKI outlets across Malaysia, including Lot 10, Sunway Pyramid, and Mid Valley, making it incredibly convenient for shoppers regardless of which part of town they’re in.
Now let’s dive into why this is more than just another meat sale—why it’s worth a visit, and what makes it special.
Why Should One Head to DONKI’s Hot Pot & Shabu-Shabu Fair?
1. Premium Japanese Meats at Affordable Prices
DON DON DONKI has built a reputation for delivering genuine Japanese grocery experiences. Their meat selections, especially during this fair, are not the everyday cuts found at typical supermarkets. Think A4 and A5 grade Wagyu beef, delicately marbled for that melt-in-your-mouth sensation. The cuts they are offering include slices perfect for shabu-shabu, as well as juicy options for Sukiyaki and Gyudon (beef bowl).
With discounts going up to RM59.90 off, this becomes an irresistible opportunity for those who’ve always wanted to try cooking premium meats without stretching the budget. Instead of heading to a high-end Japanese restaurant and paying RM200+ per person, people can now create a similar culinary experience at home for a fraction of the cost.
2. Restaurant-Quality Hot Pot Experience at Home
This promotion is not just about saving money—it’s about transforming dinner at home into an occasion. With the rainy weather, there’s no better time to gather around the dining table with family or friends, fill the room with the aroma of simmering broth, and enjoy a heart-warming hot pot session.
Those who love customising their meals will especially enjoy the freedom of choosing their own soup base, vegetables, noodles, and proteins from DONKI’s wide range of Japanese ingredients. They even have ready-made soup packets, dipping sauces, and condiments, all imported straight from Japan.
3. Perfect Timing for the Rainy Season
Anyone who’s experienced Malaysian rain knows how quickly the weather can go from sunny to stormy. During June, many families prefer to stay indoors during downpours. This promotion arrives at the perfect time, encouraging cosy, indoor dining with loved ones. Instead of braving the rain to dine out, why not stay dry and enjoy a luxury meal right in their own kitchen?
4. Convenient Store Locations and Long Opening Hours
Another reason to take advantage of this promotion is accessibility. DON DON DONKI has locations at some of the most popular shopping malls in Klang Valley:
-
Lot 10 (Bukit Bintang): Open daily from 10 AM to 2 AM – ideal for late-night shoppers or spontaneous food runs.
-
Sunway Pyramid & Mid Valley: Open daily from 10 AM to 10 PM – great for weekend grocery stops or after-work visits.
These hours ensure that whether someone is a morning person or a night owl, there’s always a chance to drop by.
5. Ideal for Gifting or Celebrations
Planning a special dinner for parents or in-laws? Looking to impress someone with a Japanese-themed home meal? Or perhaps preparing a weekend gathering with friends? This hot pot fair provides all the essentials to create a memorable dining experience that feels like an upscale restaurant.
With various meal sets and single packs on promotion, people can mix and match according to the size of their dinner party. There’s even something special about preparing the food personally—it adds a warm, personal touch that’s often lost when dining out.
Highlighted Products and Possible Deals
Although the full list of deals may vary slightly by location, here are a few items shoppers might expect to find during the fair:
-
Wagyu Beef Shabu-Shabu Slices – Thinly sliced A4/A5 Wagyu at discounted prices.
-
Sukiyaki Beef Sets – With the right balance of fat and lean meat for simmering in sweet soy-based broth.
-
Ready-to-Eat Gyudon Bowls – Pop them in the microwave for a quick meal packed with flavour.
-
Hot Pot Combo Sets – Featuring beef, chicken, and vegetables.
-
Japanese Soup Broths & Seasonings – Miso, soy-based, yuzu, and spicy broths to suit different palates.
With discounts reaching up to RM59.90 off, shoppers can easily save on bulk purchases or premium items that would usually be outside their budget.
Tips for Making the Most of This Promotion
-
Shop Early – Popular cuts like Wagyu tend to sell out quickly during promotions. Visiting in the first week of the fair gives the best chances of grabbing the best pieces.
-
Try New Flavours – This is a great opportunity to explore unfamiliar cuts or seasoning packets. The Japanese condiments at DONKI are often hard to find elsewhere.
-
Make It a Home Event – Create a “restaurant at home” vibe by pairing meals with Japanese drinks, mochi desserts, or even adding a few Japanese tableware items from DONKI’s household section.
-
Stock Up for the Month – With discounts in place, shoppers might consider buying in larger portions and freezing meats for later use. The quality remains excellent if stored properly.
A Great Bargain Wrapped in Culture
What sets DON DON DONKI apart is that it’s more than a grocery store—it offers an experience. Shopping at DONKI always feels like a mini trip to Japan, filled with colours, unique packaging, and products that can’t be found anywhere else in Malaysia. Their Hot Pot & Shabu-Shabu Fair is not just a sales campaign; it’s a curated experience that invites everyone to bring Japanese comfort food into their homes.
If there’s ever been a time to try something new in the kitchen, or to host an unforgettable dinner night, this is it. Whether someone is a long-time lover of Japanese cuisine or just beginning to explore, this fair offers a fantastic reason to step into DONKI and bring home something delicious.
