Let's Eat Hot Pot
Let me explain hot pot in one sentence. Hot pot is a traditional meal with a group of people seating at a table equipped with a bowl of boiling soup.
It's not difficult to prepare. But it can be humbug to shop and expensive to make it at home. Thanks to 75 BBQ & Hot Pot Buffet in Houston Chinatown. They made it easier for people like you and me to indulge a feast without costing a fortune.
When you arrive at my Year of the Dog UYE @ 75+85 ChinatownCrawl Sequel, let me find your table. Tell wait staff what you would like to drink and proceed to the buffet line. If this is your first time to this restaurant, be sure to watch the videos on the items at the buffet line https://youtu.be/WGZkyPlZSgo and sauce bar https://youtu.be/sI0koJDkMuk.
Sauce Bar
It can be crowded when everyone is at the buffet line. You can start with a bowl to mix your dipping sauce at the sauce bar. There will be some prepared sauce recipes at the event. Watch a video on YouTube https://youtu.be/sI0koJDkMuk
Hot Pot Experience
This is a communal eating. Work with folks sitting at your table. During the first round, you can have everyone pick up different ingredients: vegetables, seafood and sliced lamb or beef at the first cooler. To eat the food you selected, first throw vegetables into the soup. Then, use tong to put meats into the soup. It only takes 5 seconds to cook. Use strainer ladle to fish them out and dunk into your sauce bowl.
For those guests don't eat pork, drop a couple of snow crabs into the specially prepared vegetarian broth before your first trip to buffet line. Crabs will enhance flavor to the vegetables. Don't attempt to eat crab legs without cooking. Because it can be saltier than usual.
BBQ Experience
You'll notice there is grill at the table. You get to cook on top of smokeless paper. You put meats on the grill while eating hot pot. By the time you are done with your first round, grilled meat will be ready. You can find seafood and marinated meats in the middle of buffet line; as well as sliced beef or pork at the 2nd cooler.
Etiquette
Because it's a communal meal, please be courteous to others by using communal utensils. There are soup ladles, strainer ladles, tongs and scissors at each table. It's not recommended to dip your chopsticks into the boiling soup or touch grilling meats.
