On our recent trip to mainland People's Republic of China nosotros signed upwards for a Greeter tour inwards Chongqing. We wanted to larn close hot pot.

Our guides, college students practiced inwards English, met us inwards the foyer of our hotel, the InterContinental, located on a pedestrian street lined amongst high-end shops. Our guides took us to a traditional nutrient courtroom on the lower score of a mall. There was a multifariousness of nutrient from grilled corn to dim amount together with a hot pot area. The hot pot tabular array had a recessed expanse for the hot pot which was divided into spicy together with mild broth – the ying
and yang of hot pot. The card of items to ready inwards the hot pot was inwards Chinese together with thence Nick, our guide, ordered for us. We preferred vegetables but Nick preferred the organ meats. With hot pot everyone gets to swallow what they similar because the items are served on a plate together with diners dunk the items inwards the preferred broth. Wooden chopsticks go best for selecting items together with cooking them. Selected items tin go placed inwards the broth together with retrieved when cooked or held inwards the broth amongst chopsticks until ready.
