You order it, and someone will actually bring out the stove, pot, and food, and you do everything else yourself. I think that's only available during the winter though, and I have no idea how the meat is since I didn't try it when I was there.GoldenRockProductionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05455122636182081686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-87199013066164722172007-05-23T02:59:00.000+08:002007-05-23T02:59:00.000+08:00Hi "eliza bennet" --Yeah, "individual hot pot" doe...Hi "eliza bennet" --<BR/><BR/>Yeah, "individual hot pot" does seem oxymoronic to most.

I know it is maybe against the philosophy of the dish but really no one else can enjoy chilis as much as I do and I also tend to go easy on the green heavy on beef and lamb (yeah sometimes together, total carnivore). So my noodles at the end are eye watering hot and sauce meat heavy. Not everyone likes that :)eliza bennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997101330508195099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-73638045631595404172007-05-22T08:54:00.000+08:002007-05-22T08:54:00.000+08:00Hi srp --The thing is, though, that what's convent...Hi srp --<BR/><BR/>The thing is, though, that what's conventional in one society may not be so in another... ;S<BR/><BR/>Hi tnchick --<BR/><BR/>The wagyu beef is highly recommended...that is, unless you're a vegetarian!

Sometimes the hotpot pot has a divider so there are two types of broth/liquid. Last month my daughter and I discovered a newly opened restaurant in Montreal's Chinatown whose speciality is lamb. We spent 3 plus hours cooking a variety of meats, veggies, tofu, etc in two broths-one rather bland, the other very spicy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-28894879313982295142007-05-19T19:55:00.000+08:002007-05-19T19:55:00.000+08:00i have never heard of hotpot before until now. so...i have never heard of hotpot before until now. sounds very interesting indeed.<BR/><BR/>my roasted pork supper is up.Just Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07388994511382337585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-46643216601603730972007-05-19T19:23:00.000+08:002007-05-19T19:23:00.000+08:00I think I'll pass on the chicken penises, too!
