Not only does #chongqing have one of China’s most impressive skylines, it’s also home to arguably the country’s best hot pot cuisine! For those who’ve never had the pleasure, hot pot is a must try when visiting #china. Chongqing hot pot is known in particular for the incredible spicy flavor. To get the really authentic experience, I highly recommend Yang Ma Er Hot Pot (洋马儿火锅). There are several locations around the city. We went to the one in Jiaochangkou, which is tucked up around an ally and feels very authentic and intimate. #foodie #deliciousfood #wintergetaway
Recommendations:
1) Go with 5-6 other people, which makes it easier to order and try many different dishes.
2) Go slow if you’re not used to the spice. Use some of the sauces provided to even things out a bit.
3) Don’t over order least you end up with a bunch of wasted food. You can always add more dishes later if you need.
4) Take your time and enjoy!
