Hot pot lunch!

Today we were at the ceramics factory in southern China and were able to go out for lunch at this authentic Chinese hot pot restaurant.  I had never had a hot pot meal before and it was really good...especially the noodles!  Our table basically cooks everything in this broth hot pot and then the hosts served us!

It was really interesting as all the serving pieces, cup and chop sticks were all at the table covered in plastic wrap.  Before we ate our hosts actually opened and then washed everything in boiling water to sanitize it!!  It was crazy, but glad they did it!  The third picture below shows them doing it.

The food we then all cooked one meat at a time with us eating in small bowls as each meat was prepared.  They has a great soy sauce mixture for filling that you could spice up on your own and we all drank a Chinese Apple soda that tasted like cider!

I would definitely do a hot pot again!  Really fun and tasty!!
