I have a youdao translator app in my phone. BTW, Beijing style really represents the typical northern style, however, there are way more different hotpot style in the south other than Sichuan mala style, which you must try in the future. Here is the clue: porridge hotpot in Shunde, beef hotpot in Shantou, sour soup hotpot in Guizhou and fresh mushroom hotpot in Yunnan, etc. Oh, I'm sorry, I remember there is another northern style, which is in Dongbei region, they have pickled cabbage hotpot. Looking forward to seeing your hotpot discovery collections.🥘

The editing is so superb. I had hot pot in Chongqing, the hotpot capital. Wow that pen is like magic.

I live in Melbourne, where there are some excellent hotpot restaurants but I've still never been to one. I go to Malatang places but I need to go with the right people who appreciate good Chinese food. I think I also never knew what to do, so felt a little intimidated but thanks to you and Amy, I feel prepared now!

As a foreigner in China, I get that "urge" for hot pot more than I think even the average Chinese does. This why single-person hot pot, namely the restaurant Xiabu Xiabu, is the way to go. All the great experience of hot pot, but with everything exactly as you'd like it.

I think the main reason we love hot pot is the socializing experience. You got your friends and family, we all surrounding a hot pot for an hour or two. Eating, drinking and chatting, it's like the British going to a pub if you think about it. Also, Chinese people love hot food in general and it's perfect for winter time.

Hotpot reminds me of chinese new year when I was kid, because in that time almost only in new year you can have as much meat as you want in hotpot and the whole family come together, someone light the pot, some one wash the veggies, and the kids are just yearning for the pot to be cooked and we could start eating.

I used to live in Jiangsu province, I did not know hotpot food befroe 1990. Hotpot's popularity in whole China may start from 1995.

I find local people in the UK also likes hotpot so much. When I travel to the Chinatown in London every time, there’s always so many people waiting in the line at the hotpot restaurant. BTW, it’s very different experience eating hotpot in China.

Yummy food + good tech is a great combo similar to Nico & Jack. Your blue jacket was gangsta provide tips to you Australian friend too, wearing a cap i though she was going to play baseball in Rural China

You captured the essence of hot pots very good! I agree it’s all about socializing and having a good time with friends and family. Comparing to a traditional meal, a hot pot normally always need more time to finish, giving everyone more time to chat and connect.

Wild mushroom hot pot in Yunnan is so good. Especially wild mushroom season in July.

[hecmec]

I love everything to do with HotPot because you will never be eating the same thing with every attempt and combination of sauces, besides the socializing experience is the most fun part just like having a Swiss fondue but a much more full on participation from everyone on the table. Thank you Nic and Jack for the experience!
