hilsA friend from work invited me over for Chinese Hotpot today. After watching so many Chinese shows (dramas and reality shows) where hotpot features I've been dying to try it for ages.
Very much can recommend.
Since we're all still avoiding town and shops because of covid he orderd a package with everything we needed for hotpot for two.
There was WAY too much food for two people. We had beef, lamb, tofu, noodles, two types of mushroom, bok choy, and a package of seafood which we didn't even open because I'm allergic.
Both of us have healthy appetites and I deliberately skipped breakfast because I was warned there was a lot of food. We still didn't manage to eat it all.
It was a good way to try it for the first time. I always get anxious trying totally new things in restaurants in case I 'do it wrong'. Having it in someone's home with someone who has cooked it loads of times before was much less stressful.
Anyway, do recommend
