Week: Thur.
August 11th
There's something about cooking your own food at the table that
transforms some fully-grown adults into naïve, disobedient
children. Melanie, beaming from ear to ear, was like a kid in
a candy store – plopping scallops and shrimp (with heads
still attached) into her seething hot pot.
“No.” Says the nice lady behind the counter. “You
need put corn and egg first, take more time to cook.” She
explains.
“Uh, okay.” Melanie responds with a mischievous look
written all over her face. .
By this time her scallops have boiled perfectly to the texture
of bubble gum. She nonchalantly swipes one through a spicy red
(self-constructed) concoction and drops it down the hatch. Then
defiantly giggles.
Eating at Mini Hot Pot isn’t about haute cuisine and well-sourced
ingredients – it’s about being silly and making a fool
of your self. Sucking fiercely on watermelon smoothies and poking
at the disturbing miniature hot dogs that, for reasons unknown,
accompany each entrée.
It’s a fun casual date spot – and if your date is as
devious as mine – then you are in for quite an experience.
We haven't had this much fun dining out since... well, never
mind.
How it works:
You dine in front of your
own personal hot pot and choose from entrees such as seafood,
meats (lamb, beef and chicken), tripe and sea cucumbers. Of course,
all arrive raw and the cooking is left in the diner’s hands,
capable or not. There’s an impressive list of sides to choose
from if you’d like to add the adventure, items like cuttlefish,
udon and pig liver. All entrees come with a plate of sides, which
includes spinach, tofu, taro root, a single fish ball and tofu
skin.
