I have definitely had the pleasure of eating Hot Pot before, but hot pot in China is (as one should expect) definitely quite an experience. This was in a phenomenal Beijing restaurant.
 |
| The table before we got started: the Hot Pot itself is split in half with the regular side on the left and the hot side on the right. Our friendly Beijing hosts spoiled us with a vast assortments of foods: lamb, beef, chicken, shrimp, different kinds of mushrooms, other vegetables whose names I did not get and more. One highlight in this restaurant was the sauce buffet: to go along with the hot pot, you make your own sauce using many ingredients including crushed garlic, sesame oil and paste, mushroom sauce, parsley, chili sauce, etc... |

| The local beer, Yanjing, is another nice accompaniment with the meal |

| You are probably looking at this picture thinking "What the hell is this?!?" The answer is "Noodles!" (see video below for live demonstration of noodle making made fresh, right at our table) |
