People love meat a lot especially Chinese. Hotpot is one of the most popular ways to eat meat in China. A research study shows in 2015, Chinese spend over 15 billion Yuan on the hot pot which is about 3 billion Canadian dollars. That clearly shows the love of a hot pot.

The Chinese start to eat hotpot around B.C 200 which is until now, over 2000 years of history. In China, we have so many different genre hotpots which begin in a different province. The different style of hotpot depends on the local natural environment and the cultural environment. For example, Beijing style hotpot using a copper pot with charcoal to boil the soup. The food needs to cut into very thin slice so it could be cooked within seconds. A story behind this copper hotpot is Genghis Khan loves lamb but during the wartime, he has no time to wait the BBQ lamb ready and serve. So that his chef decides to cut the lamb into thin slice and put it into boil meat soup to eat with dipping sauce.

Hotpot is not only popular in China, but also worldwide. The well known Chinese hotpot brand Liuyishou Hotpot was founded in 2000. Until now they have over 1000 locations throughout the world. In my opinion, they have produced the best Chongqing style of beef oil spicy hotpot in Canada. With all fresh ingredients and decent flavor house-made sauce to provide you a great experience of Chinese hotpot. Just be careful when you visit them during the weekend. Make a reservation will be a great idea. Best food of winter time, prepare for the spicy.
