Premium Feature
The Hot Ball offers a unique combination of spicy, savory, and umami flavors. The crispy exterior gives way to a soft, flavorful interior with a surprising kick.
The core of the Hot Ball features a blend of seasoned ground meat (likely pork and/or beef), finely diced vegetables (possibly onions, peppers, and garlic), and a secret spice blend that provides the heat. The entire mixture is then coated in a breading that includes panko breadcrumbs for extra crispiness. The sauce accompanying the Hot Ball is a creamy, tangy dipping sauce, which tempers the spice and adds another layer of complexity.

Optimal Consumption
Eat the Hot Ball immediately while it's hot and crispy for the best texture and flavor experience. Letting it sit will cause the outside to soften.
Dipping Sauce Strategy
Experiment with different amounts of the dipping sauce to find your preferred level of heat and flavor balance. Some prefer a light drizzle, while others enjoy completely coating the ball.
Pairing Suggestions
The Hot Ball pairs well with crisp, refreshing beverages to counter the spice. Also, ask staff for suitable sides for a balanced meal.
