Tan Yu Tou (or Tanyoto) Hot Pot Restaurant

Tan Yu Tou (or Tanyoto) Hot Pot Restaurant

I've eaten both Chinese and Japanese hotpot before, but it was my first time to eat Sichuan-style (Szechuan-style) hotpot at Tanyoto Hotpot restaurant in Wanchai.

My brother did the ordering for us, and what we had on our table was a pot with two kinds of soup: a tomato-based soup on one side, and a spicy soup on the other side.

When one eats hotpot, it's not merely a meal; it's an experience. The work of cooking one's own food at the table, watching what you put in to make sure it doesn't get overcooked, choosing what you want -- it's an immersive, memorable experience, especially for people who don't eat hotpot very often. More than that, however, hotpot-eating is a truly communal experience. Of all meals, a hotpot meal is truly one to be shared with family or good friends.

The food was messy (messier than the usual hotpot because of the tomato soup), but divine.

Tan Yu Tou also has branches in Wanchai and Mongkok. You can visit their Hong Kong website at www.tanyutou.com.hk.
