| - What you say? A hot pot all for myself? Yeah!
I had the lamb hot pot and my partner had the beef hot pot ($9.99 each). The lamb broth had a vinegary tang to it, which I liked and the beef broth had a good hearty flavor. Both came with tofu, crab sticks, tofu skin, mushrooms, a fish ball (with pork inside), bok choy, carrots, tomatoes (ideal for a good broth flavor), and their respective meats (thinly sliced). We ordered add-ins of fish balls ($1.50) and noodles ($1.50), which we split between us, and spicy level 4.
The broths were very flavorful and you could adjust the flame below if you wanted it more or less bubbling hot.
It was our first time there, so the owner was very helpful in explaining how it worked, which we both appreciated. She also showed us how to do the sauces, even offering to make one "special" for us. I mixed green onion, cilantro, and garlic oil; my partner was quite fond of the garlic oil and Chinese BBQ sauces together.
Tip: the ingredients can be quite hot, so take out the goodies and put them on a plate to cool off a little before wolfing them down.
While I wish we hadn't waited so long to finally stop in, now that we have, we will definitely be back. Next time, we're going to try some of the skewers they offer, too.
