I love spicy hot pot and I think Golden Valley does one of the best spicy hot pots in town, more than most people realise. Today, the 4 of us came here for lunch, yes, you heard me right, spicy hot pot for lunch - that's how bad our cravings were. Back to the food, I like the spicy hot pot here for the following reasons:- the soup base : the soup base is the soul of the spicy hot pot, the soup base here is not bad, not the best, but still better than many places. If you want to compare it to say
Back to the food, I like the spicy hot pot here for the following reasons:
- the soup base : the soup base is the soul of the spicy hot pot, the soup base here is not bad, not the best, but still better than many places. If you want to compare it to say San Xi Lou, I guess I would say the soup base here is slightly inferior because they don't put as much sichuan peppercorns here, but would still come close as a second and you could add more sichuan peppercorns / sichuan peppercorn powder on your own (see below)
- the sauce and seasoning: hands down the best in town, just look at this - a full selection of sauce andseasoning from fermented bean curd to sichuan peppercorn powder, and not to mention the sesame which you could grind to a fine powder- the food: high quality food across the board and please order the ox tongue - they have done a really good job in marinating it and it was simply tender, succulent with the perfect seasoning; also, don't forget you could order half portions here, which is good if there's only the 2 or 3 of you so that you could order more variety
We always make a reservation before coming here so i have no clue how long you would have to wait for walk in, though the restaurant seemed quite full with families coming for yumcha when we were there on a saturday lunch time.
We paid HK$400 each which I thought was reasonable for the amount and quality of the food we ate.
PS: don't bother trying the other soup base though, we ordered a fish soup base and wild mushroom soup base but they were not so good. Just go for the spicy soup base.
