If you think the picture above looks lethal,let me assure you,it’s way more lethal than you could possibly imagine. This spicy concoction is from a hot pot place located a couple blocks from my uncle’s apartment so location-wise,it was really convenient.  On top of that,they give you a voucher for 20RMB for every 100RMB you spend…so a good deal if you’re a hot pot lover.  My uncle’s word of advice was to stick to hot pot places that are well established like this one simply because you can be that much more sure of the cleanliness of the restaurant.
