Mad_Cyril It looks a bit weird to be honest. It has hot pot tables yet it has massive vats of food too? It’s called ‘can ting’, which is literally ‘canteen’ (where our word is derived from) - bit Nathan Barley. That wine bar area is tacky as fuck - like something Millsy would install in his extension with his Etsy gear.

Did well to swerve IMO.

      The smell was immense Dave.

      I was expecting more feedback around the menu and food than the decor if I’m honest. Creds in the balance here

          Mad_Cyril There isn’t a menu, because there aren’t actual dishes.

          It’s a hotpot restaurant. You order a list of ingredients (I just saw the picture of their ingredient list) to chuck in a massive vat of steaming spicy oil or stock.

          You then ladle it out into your bowl. It may have smelt immense, but it’s actually my least favourite style of Chinese food. Because it isn’t really cooking, it’s just throwing stuff into boiling oil and cooking it yourself basically.

          This actually originated as army food - Chinese soldiers would turn their metal helmets upside down and use them to cook whatever they could get their hands on over a campfire, then rinse their helmets out in the brook so they could wear them again.

              bosstrabs hot pot is great, but heavily dependent on produce, the variety quality of sauce toppings and the broth options. Would go to this one called Bone and Pot every time I was in Malaysia, and they would also serve prawn filled dumplings to throw in… game changer. Definitely not a meal for a solo or date, better to go in a big group.

                  Mad_Cyril I am also not a massive fan of Korean and Japanese barbecue restaurants tbh.

                  Basically, I’m paying a load of money and now I’m supposed to cook my own food? I could just do that at home with top quality ingredients for half the price.

                  (I love Korean chicken, bibimbap and their proper dishes)

                    rhouses hot pot is great

                    No it’s not, Rhouses, you have zero taste in anything.

                    Unless you’re talking about Lancashire hotpot, in which case yes it is great.

                      rhouses Let’s just say your knowledge of Chinese food far exceeds your knowledge of women.

                      Address something I have said that’s incorrect.

                        And don’t tell me you can suave Chinese women, they all fucking hate Indians, you’d be second bottom of their list (just above Africans) even if you are loaded.

                          Shabu Shabu, Chinese Hot Pot, and Korean Army Style Hot Pot - all delicious and extremely wholesome culinary experiences, and you’re an idiot to deny yourself that.

                          JC Clubbers Colleagues and Friends, I’d like to apologise for Rhouses, the biggest shithead to have walked God’s green earth.

                          Also winter in England couldn’t be a better time or place to try it out, MC.

                          bosstrabs The dialect was always problematic for me, whereas the Koreans and Japanese were much easier on the ears. A lot classier as well.

                            Yeah Rhouses, the language stopped you suaving them, nothing to do with the fact they think your whole country is filth-encrusted peasants and rapists.

                              bosstrabs The language sounds like pigs getting slaughtered, Dave. Does nothing for me.

                                  Come on now lads - this constant squabbling between you on such topics is getting a bit out of hand.

                                  Let’s just make peace and agree that both your countries are shit-holes, okay?!

                                        That’s still incredibly funny/accurate though all the same.
