Hotpot is a way of eating. It brings people together around the table, makes the atmosphere lively and warm with the hot pot in the middle. It’s really the food for group gatherings. And there’s something special about turning uncooked ingredients into delicious food while you eat. That makes it even more special somehow. I loved it when I was little. I’d always stand by the table, looking for my favorite things at the bottom of the pot. I was too little back then to sit and eat comfortably at that height. 竹子
