First time at a hot pot restaurant. The one here finally opened after delays we thought doomed it. No photos of the pot, because once it arrived we started eating! Some photos of some of the plates though!

So, what is a hot pot restaurant?

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago

You pick a soup base, sometimes as a group or like here, everyone has their own little pot. Then you start requesting the various meats, veggies, etc to put in the soup base. Those plates of meat etc are brought to the table. You then stir those into the soup base then eat when done. There was also a serve yourself dipping bar so you could make dips to put onto the meat, also where the desserts were. It's fun! It was all you can eat so just keep ordering the plates. Had to finish them though, or like a buffet you get charged for waste.

They serve boiling broth and raw food. You take the raw food and stick it in the boiling broth before you eat it.

It's really good actually, I highly recommend it!

So, you essentially cook it yourself? I'm not sure how I feel about that. Lol

After they do 90% of the work for you, yes.

It was really fun and tasty! I'll have to go again and try the bbq though!
