One of the best from Hong Kong is their hotpot. Nothing fancy, just nice quality food. We came to Kowloon city for Cantonese hotpot dinner.Once we were seated, the waitress got us the sauces platter.

Soup base is key to a nice hotpot. It doesn’t only add flavours to the food we boiled them in, it also makes it more nutritious! We picked the sea coconut, winter fungus and pork lung soup, which is good for the respiratory system.
We ordered four different kinds of beef, which is what this place is specialised in.
Angus beef soaked in chinese wine with rose
Very strong wine which made the beef super aromatic! Anyone alcoholic would love it! Couldn’t really taste the rose though!
Beef shank
Sliced really thin, only took 7-8 seconds to cook. Smart way to keep it tender.
Ox tongue
Also sliced thin, giving it a more chewy yet light and fresh texture.
Burdock
Cooked already, just have to reheat them to make them tender again. Well seasoned, chewy chewy!
Seafood was a blast! We had 6 types of seafood for only $176 ($88/3).
Short necked clam, Oyster, Abalone, Razor Clam, Geoduck and Surf clam
Loved the razor clam best as it was gigantic and sweet! Must be very fresh!
Oysters were huge as well, and it was very creamy with a strong salty ocean scent!
We also had the freshwater eel. Rich in flavour, not fishy at all! It curled just fine after boiling for 10 seconds.
Bamboo fungus has always been my favourite as its texture is spongy yet light and fresh and no other food could compare (up till now). It is also very nutritious! Packed with protein and amino acids!
Soaked the honeycomb bean curd into the broth. Spongy as spongebob, it just absorbs every sweet scent of the broth! Savoury!!
Don’t forget to drink some more soup when you are done. All the nutrients are in there!
