On a cold night, the steamy glass of the restaurant reminded me of an R-Rated scene from Titanic. You know, when her hand smudged the steamed glass.
Once I stepped inside, the place looked and smelled like a Hotpot heaven, misty and aromatic.
Snap Judgement: All was good, all was swell. From the spicy broth (my favorite), the freshness of everything on the menu and the attentiveness of staff.
Do try: Crispy deep fried fish skin, give that baby a quick dip in spicy broth and chomp on it. This proves that deep fried anything rules! And try the Chicken wings that have been marinated in wine. You know that rule of chicken skin is bad? Last night I threw away that silly rule. It may look like a "plain chick" raw. But after a few minutes in a hot bath, "plain chick" became "hot chick." One word, scrumptious!
Tips: Go early & hungry and carry with you a lot of patience, even with a reservation we had to wait 30 minutes.
