hot pot

A few weeks ago, I listened to a podcast show. In the show, 2 hosts were chatting about their favorite food/cuisine. A host mentioned hot pot.

 

Well, that host doesn’t like hot pot because he demonstrated that he couldn’t understand why we just put everything in a pot. I certainly heard what he said clearly. He’s correct but there are still many people who like hot pot.

 

For me, hot pot is not a bad way to eat with friends and family. Normally, I have hot pot with friends. With a hot pot, we can put what we want to eat in a pot. Additionally, it’s a way for us to gather and we usually chat a lot when eating hot pot.

 

When I was in college, I liked to go to some hot pot restaurants with my classmates or friends because we could order and eat a lot. We can order meat, vegetables and other food. However, the problem is that I can’t taste something too spicy. So, I usually avoided tasting food from a spicy hot pot.

 

However, later on, I don’t go to “all you can eat” restaurants that often. But I still go to some hot pot restaurants. For example, when I traveled to Shanghai, my friends invited me to a hot pot restaurant. That restaurant provided a wide variety of choices. For example, soups and meat. I can taste something special there.

 

Moreover, there are some performances in the restaurant. So, actually, it’s not just a dining place. It’s a restaurant with some entertainment. I enjoyed that dining experience with my friends. For me, it’s not a bad idea to go to a hot pot restaurant while traveling. But the important thing is that you have to know what to order and what a restaurant provides.
