Hot pot

I've wanted to hot pot since I learned about them! Seems like a great way to do a group dinner (pre-COVID of course)
Used to go to Hot Pot pretty often before having kids, and then went to one that was so fucking salty that I had a headache for like 48 hours and haven't been since.
I'm a fan of it, it's a pretty good date experience as well. Though, in COVID times maybe not as much lol.
So much work, for not much satisfaction, imo.
It's a fun communal dinner. But I feel like I always overeat (since you have to cook the food in waves), and never get that nice 'full' feeling, without feeling bloated.
Then again, I'm a notoriously fast eater, so pacing my meals by other people always ends in a lackluster time for me.

we used to do that back in the day. but its changed to just boiling the food and adding glass noodle and turning it into a spicy bowl of noodles ft sukiyaki sauce.
I prefer shabu shabu as I'm a fool when it comes to yummy end of meal soup. I just want meat lol n dipping sauces.
I enjoy it and it's a pretty good activity during winter. Fam does it a couple times during the season.
Gotten huge in NYC a while back but hammered during the pandemic. I actually think it's a bit of a hassle but it really is enjoyable once everything is set up.
It's one of those types of food where almost all of the major players are really good. I miss me some Thai hot pot :(

I miss going for hot pot with friends. I'm so tempted to get a pot and burner, but I feel like doing hot pot at home for myself is too much trouble.
Yeah my wife puts it together every few weeks. It's surprisingly easy to make with an electric burner/skillet, and meat slicers aren't that expensive either. The slicer helps you take almost any cut of beef for cooking in a hot pot.
The actual soup base is usually just veggies for us, some miso, garlic, etc.

Haven't gone out for Hot Pot in quite some time, even pre-COVID, but my finance and I have made some Hot Pot a few times at home in the last 10 months to at least kind of replicate the feeling of that "event dining" that you generally don't do at home because it's not worth the hassle for two people. Well, we bought a good sized pot and a hot plate and honestly, it's a fun weekend thing to do. Just sit there at the kitchen table and cook/eat for an hour or two.

I love shabu-shabu - it's a fun time. But it's a "once in a while" thing for me, not something I partake in too often.
Some give you your own pot in 3 different forms, so it can be eaten alone.
-food comes around a conveyor belt, so it's like bar-style seating like a sushi boat
-single pot, and you order the ingredients on the side as normal
-single pot, and the whole thing is pre-made
Hot pot is amazing. Haven't been able to go out and have it but the pack you can get from Little Sheep is really damn great if you can find it...
It's great, big fan of the sichuan style with the divided spicy and mild broths.
All I need are the various fish cakes, napa cabbage, lotus roots and tofu skins.

I went once for a co-workers birthday. It was an interesting experience.
Would I do it again? Probably not. I'd rather the food cooked for me. That's why I went to a restaurant in the first place.

Used to do weekly or biweekly with a previous partner and some friends, at home. Miss it! Super fun winter activity.
There's a Japanese Hot Pot place a block away from me and my partner and I would go there twice a month usually. To the point where the people knew us pretty well. Haven't been able to go since... ya know.
It's kind of a lazy/low effort/leftovers meal. It's good but I think gotten overblown because people didn't grow up with it.
It was last February when I discovered hot pot. I had it twice in one week, and then the entire fucking world shut down and I've been without since.
Jokes aside, I love it. Its literally the first thing I want to do with my friends when it's safe to do so. A place in portsmouth called Pink Bamboo that is so good and I really like them.

hot pot is a staple in larger family dinners in my family. We tend to do hot pot for Thanksgiving and Xmas. Pre covid, my friends and I would go to a AYCE KBBQ/Hotpot place and just pig out once every month or so too.
There's a bit of prep work you'll need to do if you are doing seafood and veggies but nothing in comparison to cooking for a large group
From the last time we went. Everyone get's their own soup broth and we ordered whatever/however much we want off the menu

Oh man this is exactly the stuff.Hot pot is amazing. Haven't been able to go out and have it but the pack you can get from Little Sheep is really damn great if you can find it...
Little Sheep Hot Pot in Seattle was always my favorite, and after getting Hai Di Lao takeout we did this more recently and it's even better.
The "cooking" is literally just dropping stuff in a pot for a few seconds.
Just had hot pot two nights ago. I enjoy it quite a bit. Pick out what I want to eat, chef cooks it up and no worries about not liking what I'm going to get. Add in hitting up the sauce bar to make your own dipping creation.
My wife and I did hot pot 4 or 5 times over the course of the harsh (hah) SoCal winter. Very easy and fun. I miss being able to go to Little Sheep or Hai Di Lao, though. Grab some meat from a local market, chop up some tofu and cabbage/mushrooms, and then prep some sauce + glass noodles. Easy and delicious!
