HAHAHA the annual protest organisers in Hong Kong just reported their permission to organise (under colonial laws any gathering of more than 3 persons requires police permission) this year has been denied. https://www.hongkongfp.com/2017/05/10/breaking-annual-july-1-hong-kong-democracy-rally-threatened-victoria-park-rejects-venue-application/

Maybe this is  , but I'm pretty sure that's not for air pollution but for making sure your face doesn't turn brown from the sun like  those dirty peasants

Efexeye posted:$95 for dinner for 3 people and you walk out still hungry? at the nicest hot pot place HaiDiLao, if you go there and have a few cold beers and eat yourself silly, at most you will end up spending 20-25 dollars a person. And that's arguably the NICEST hot pot place in all of china. so yeah, it is different in china. the place near my apartment is good hot pot and you can have some beers and good food and it is about 13 dollars a person.

 $38.99. I could eat it myself as an appetizer, once it's ruined by being boiled into little chunks

here's a hotpot place i went to last week this is per person for 15 euro. this does not include the sliced beef and lamb you also get (you can see a small bowl of beef on the bottom of the picture). unsurprisingly, people in america are getting ripped off.

bring back old gbs posted:i thought hot pot was like a pan of boiling oil, but its just hot water? so ur just boiling meat? thats fuckin gross and retarded It's a pot of boiling oil, spices, and water. When you take the meat/veg out, you usually dip it in some manner of sauce, then eat it. It's actually quite tasty, but then again I usually get a seafood hot pot. I find it's a lot like pancakes, and once you eat it, you don't want to think of it again for at least a month. Personally I like the Malatang version better.

idk what the hell i thought it was now. I honestly thought it was a cast iron pan over a heat source with a suuuuuper shallow layer of oil and u barely touch the meat to the oil to cook it, just for like a second. but the google image pics are like:  and u soak the stuff in it and it doesnt even look hot enough to cook ur stuff, though im sure it is

I'm with Haier, man, $95 for dinner for 3 people and you walk out still hungry? Nobody here it talking about LA prices. LA is expensive in the first place, then foreign food is much more expensive. In Japan in the middle of Tokyo you can get all you can eat shabu-shabu for 2000 yen, or less than 20 bucks. Literally all you can eat for two hours. I'm sure China could be cheaper for a similar amount of food because China.

So basically hot pot is fondue? Or fondue is hot pot, depending on which culture invented/stole it.

I have done the Chinese hot pot in Singapore, and the Korean version too. The Korean version is better, but really, if I'm going out to eat with my friends, if I am paying restaurant prices, I would much rather have the food cooked and brought to my table instead of cooking it myself. If I feel like cooking, I'll cook at home, using better ingredients and better cooking methods. So, what I'm saying is, hot pot is not for me and I do not like it very much.

it's telling how there are so few 'after' pictures of the deliciously-carpaccio-seeming meat actually cooked. it's waterlogged, skinny sliced beef with all the fat rendered out. the plate i posted? each piece results in one bite. the promise is  the reality is  at least at the one i ate at, you got individual pots of water, they said health code wouldn't allow one big pot for everyone to marinate their chopsticks and poo poo in, maybe that's the difference i actually did like the rice they make you with the broth to take home, though, that alleviated the 'im still loving starving after sitting here for two hours' aspect of hot pot for me

You don't leave the meat in there for 10 minutes you just dip it in until its done.
