I forgot to explain what hot pot is.Hot po...Whoops! I forgot to explain what hot pot is.<BR/><BR/>Hot pot is where you have a bowl of hot broth and you put different things (like vegetables, meat, seafood, noodles, etc) inside the broth to cook. I have seen everything from individual bowls over a small butane fire to restaurants that have a special table with a giant shared bowl inside of the table that is heated from below. Traditional hotpot has a large fluted metal container in the middle filled with coals to keep the broth hot.<BR/>Some will have a bowl that is half spicy broth and half not spicy, or will have an inner bowl with spicy broth while the larger outer bowl is not spicy.<BR/><BR/>If you want to know more, the Wiki article is pretty good.<BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_potStephanie/Sproffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00511655933086275525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635277990911889679.post-57653581559876655262008-09-16T11:34:00.000+08:002008-09-16T11:34:00.000+08:00So I have to ask -- what is hot pot?

Definitely the cheapest hotpot in town, my wife and I used to go there all the time when we were poor and dating. Now we've moved out to Pudong and there are no Daimei out here :(<BR/><BR/>It's good be on your guard when random people talk with you. Teahouses are notorious for being the scene of tourist scams...Micah Sittighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974162639554851660noreply@blogger.com
