Hotpot for all seasons

It is the winter best choice to have hotpot in Hong Kong, there are also lots of Hotpot restaurant in Glasgow.

Hotpot is very popular in Hong Kong for all seasons. Actually, in most Asian countries they also have hotpot, for instance, Thai Suki, Shabu-Shabu & yakiyaki in Japan, Jjigae in Korea.


We can always choose from a wide choice of dipping sauce:
You can choose your favourite sauce and toppings and mix them in your sauce plate



Also, some shops now are providing even 4/6 soup base in one pot!


Etiquette of having hotpot:


  • Separate the utensils for raw and cooked food:
  • It happens to everyone. You simply forgot about that shrimp, or mushroom, or beef, or whatever delicious thing you were cooking just a few minutes ago. Now it's lost in a sea of fish balls, vegetables, and tofu. Do rescue it, but don't do it by swishing your eating chopstick back and forth in the broth. My friend likes to call this manoeuvre "chopstick washing." Use a hot pot strainer to track it down instead!



  • Make sure it's your food:
  • It's just sitting there, bobbing in the broth, waiting for someone to scoop it up, put it on their plate, sauce it, and eat it. It could be a piece of lobster tail or a slice of chicken, but whatever it is, make sure it's yours. Not sure? Check if anyone has already staked their claim on it.
  • Don't mix 2 soup base:
  •  Having more than one kind of broth available is a good thing, so don't ruin it. Maybe not everyone can eat spicy food. Or maybe you just like having two broths because you can. This means that it's not nice to begin cooking a piece of food in one broth and then finish cooking it in the other broth. As this is the reason for having 2 soup base. Respect the divide: No crossing over.
