Hot Pot Night

A couple weeks ago, I went out for hot pot with Erin, Keun Hee and Lincoln. Lincoln is a student to all 3 of us. This dinner was to celebrate Lincoln doing very well on his exams and to say farewell to Erin.

 The type of hot pot we got was divided into 2 sections. Spicy and non-spicy. How it works is that the soup base boils infront of you at the table, then you order raw food and then cook it in the soup yourself. I cannot read Chinese so Lincoln and Erin took care of the food. There is a bowl and a plate on the right side of the picture. The food on the plate is a type of sausage, not sure what kind of sausage though. The item in the bowl took me off guard. It is duck intestines. I thought it would be absolutely horrid, but it was really good. Let it sit for about 8 seconds in the boiling soup base, and it makes for a huge flavor explosion in your mouth.

 Here we have some beef, lamb, black mushrooms, fish, soup filled beef balls, chicken feet (my favorite), pork, and more. We ordered so much food that the waitress had to bring a little cart to put beside the table to hold everything.

 This picture was taken about halfway through the meal. Happy faces mean happy stomachs haha. Everyone except me stopped eating soon after. Since I have gotten to China my appetite has become so large, I eat non-stop. The head chef here calls me "Two Portion Josh".

This is the aftermath of the dinner. Absolutely 99.99% destroyed. Best meal I have had since I have been to China.
