| - AYCE just never screams quality for me, and so I tend to shy away from those types of restaurants. Chine, however, is one of the few exceptions I will make.
Unlike other hotpot restaurants, you will be cooking food in your very own pot, perfect for germaphobes and picky eaters like myself. I have tried a number of broths, but I will say my top 2 would have to be the Special Tomato Broth, and the Creamy Corn and Sweet Potato broth.
Upon ordering, I love to put together a concoction of dipping sauces from their selection. Tip: sesame paste and sesame oil is not only delicious but it also helps to cool your tongue!
Sliced lamb and beef is perhaps our go-to, no frills protein, we don't order anything else as they are wonderful on their own. Other dishes we would order include (from most to less frequently): watercress, udon noodle, quail eggs, fish balls, lotus slices, and sweet potatoes.
The dessert selection here is pretty great. I LOVE the fried Chinese buns, served with condensed milk to dip.
One thing I will say about this place is that getting the attention of a server is a struggle. Also, the food coma hits like brick wall.
