You may not be a 5-star chef, but you can cook up a treat for yourself anyway at a do-it-yourself hot pot bar.
Hot
pot has been a favorite Vietnamese dish for eons and is indispensable
on special occasions like birthdays and new-year parties.
The dish has recently developed into lau bang chuyen
(hot pot bar) in Ho Chi Minh City, where the choices for what goes into
a hot pot are delivered on a conveyor belt that moves around the
tables. The dining cooks can choose what they like, and can cook and
serve themselves without anyone’s help.
They can enjoy their
food alone or in a group. The hot pot bar brings enjoyment to customers
in a no-mess, hassle-free and self- cooking experience.
If they are
swift-handed and sharp-eyed, they can combine many soups of various hot
pots with each other such as mushroom soup, Thai hot pot soup, and
Japanese hot pot soup, to create a unique taste.
Where are the hot pot bars?
It is not difficult to
find a restaurant with a hot pot bar in Ho Chi Minh City, but Kichi
Kichi Restaurant and Coca Express Restaurant are two of the most
popular.
At Kichi Kichi
Restaurant, you can discover plentiful hot pots such as Japanese Shabu
Shabu hot pot, Thai hot pot, and Sichuan style hot pot.
The dishes are
prepared carefully over many hours. They are cooked from stewed bone,
extracts from more than 20 kinds of mushrooms, 15 sorts of herbs, and
more than 10 kinds of esoteric spices.
At Coca Express Restaurant, the menu often varies on a seasonal basis to make dishes abundant in order to attract customers.
The fresh seafood and luscious meat at Coca Express Restaurant are mixed with the natural flavors of vegetables and mushrooms.
How wonderful it is
that customers can enjoy hot pot bars and forget about the worries of
work. They can go with their families and friends to enjoy such bars,
which are very popular in Japan and Singapore.
