Hotpot, un, deux, trois

that’s francais for 1,2,3, ooh la la

i ate hotpot 3 times in the past 19 days, once in beijing, once in hong kong and once in nanjing..will probably eat it two more times before i leave….

Beijing

my cousin brought me here, it’s suppose to be very legit szechuan style hotpot, it’s not too spicy but the tomato soup base is definitely one of the best i’ve ever had..

yeahhh, it’s fairly badass, i think i will go to their other location in nanjing fairly soon! there’s also a guy who dances for noodles. it’s hard to explain and i was too shy to take pictures..

hong kong

my other cousin took me to this hotpot joint in hong kong on my first night

Nanjing
my dad recommended the place, the soup base is suppose to be one of a kind and it’s definitely different than what i’ve seen. it consists of lamb chops stewed with vegetables and other chinese twigs and what not. the lamb was the best at this location although the dining experience can always be considered too intense, TOO INTENSE. my throat hurts everyday, i’m fairly sure it’s because of the amount of lamb i’ve been eating…

my dipping sauce, it’s mostly rotten tofu

that’s one bad ass soup BASE
