HOTPOT in HK

i have always loved hotpot, it's convenient and somewhat healthy. As long you find a delicious soup base, it's all good to go! It works especially well when you have a big group of people eating together.

When I was living in NYC, I've always loved Little Fat Lamb Chinese hotpot in Flushing and Japanese Shabu Tatsut in East Village. Shabu Tatsu's shabu shabu was one of the best one i have ever had. the meat was always tender and thinly sliced. Everything was fresh. the dipping sauces were light and not salty at all. I used to go so often and sometimes I'd go after midnight to catch their midnight specials! It's less crowded after midnight. If you go around 8 pm, you'll probably have to wait for over an hour!!

Little Fat Lamb's soup base is stronger than the other hotpot places, both spicy and nonspicy lovers will enjoy the taste. In the soup base, they put giant garlic pieces, scallions, dates, goji berries, some other sorts of berries, and other real ingredients, not the powder fake kind, but real herbal pieces, allowing the flavor to overflow with fresh authenticity. Once you try it, you will be addicted!

Hotpot in HK is in a whole new level! I have been to a few already but so far Pier 88 is one of my favorites!

It has everything and anything! the wide variety of soup bases is unbelievable!! seafood is AMAZINGLY fresh. We ordered fresh fish and shrimp, the shrimp skews were still moving when they were brought onto the table. The fish, after being sliced into smaller pieces on the side, was still wagging its tail!!! it was kinda scary!!! their distinguished hotpot is definitely a must try. Once you arrive, the system is all computerized. You pick up your own ticket from the kiosk, and you wait for it to show on the TV screen. Everything seems organized and clean! Their sauces/drinks bar is ONE OF A KIND! for extra $8 HKD (which is about $1 USD), you can have unlimited drinks (Sofa, Soy milk, sugar cane drink..) and dipping sauces, and desserts!!!! Soup base was aroud $50 HKD and each dishes is around $20-$30 HKD. If you go after 9 PM on weekdays, it's even cheaper! I love this place and can't wait to go back! If you are a hotpot lover, I highly recommend their fresh seafood! Apparently it has dimsum too and people hold their weddings there. If you go on a night that a wedding party has booked half of the restaurant, the lines to hotpot will be even longer!!! Luckily it's a chain restaurant, so you can find it everywhere. I went to the one at Metroplaza in Kwai Fong.
