HK resto 2: HOTPOT dinner
------

mom and dad both love hotpot dinner, and we are all used to having it for dinner, either a simple normal one, or something special. here in singapore, hotpots are famous, but i haven't tried a good one worth raving about. my chinese-malaysian and singaporean friends would have hotpot during chinese new year, used as some sort of celebration with the family. we do too, i guess any chinese families would do this.

mom love hotpot so much that she even bought a device that would stimulate that, we would usually put greens, raddish, squid balls, pork cutlets, shrimp, mushroom and chicken balls, and all that.

this place in causeway bay was great, i had to say it was one of the best hoptpots i have tried in my life, except for those that mom made (it doesn't beat having hotpot at the comfort of your own home).



i can't read the name of the restaurant, but its in one of the side street of causeway bay. thanks to mom and dads friends in HK, they were the one who brought us here.

mom's friends ordered a lot of food, that we were surprised by what she ordered. our bill amounted to HK$1,200 for just the 6 of us. there was a lot of food.


i love scallops, this plate costs HK$280, the most expensive of the lot.


boiling soup, we ordered 2 kinds of soup, one was the plain one and one was satay flavored. mom and i liked the satay better, while ags and cho loved the plain soup. the satya soupd has much flavor, tangy and a bit spicy, its just different from the very plain beef broth. we have platters of bacon, beef, dumplings, shrimps, scallops, fish fillet, lahat na ata.


my cup of hotpot, i loved the fresh shrimps, they were skewed alive, kawawa.
