The cooking dish actually allows for separate compartments and the soup bases differ between the two, allowing diners to choose how they want to flavour their meats and other ingredients.
Seafood, vegetables, meats and even tofu servings were chosen on this occasion. The rich and tasty soup bases were absorbed amazingly well by the cooked ingredients. People will usually cook a selection of ingredients together and serve themselves once ready. Hotpot is a fun gathering for all and brings about the social elements of dining in a spectacular way. It goes without saying, if you’re planning on going to a hotpot, expect to leave smelling like tasty spices as the beautiful aromas fill the air. My favourite hot pot style hails from the south of china with the spicy Sichuan style. There are many hotpot styles across Asia and China has various spicy and non spicy variations. It’s worth trying for any traveller with or without friends. This can be eaten at home or in a restaurant dining setting.
