4 great hotpot restaurants you must visit in Shanghai
Deliciously simmered offerings at Yuan Yang, Kanpai Kurogeya, Loushang Hotpot and Chinese Top Pot will help warm hearts – and stomachs – this winter
When winter hits, the craving for hotpot always grows stronger.
During the chilly months – particularly in places where temperatures fall well below freezing – there is no better excuse for taking part in the traditional Chinese cooking method, where a simmering pot of soup stock sits in the centre of a dining table while people drop assorted ingredients, including meats, fish and vegetables, into the bubbling liquid.
Sitting around a hotpot and feasting on the cooked food helps to warm up the body and, perhaps just as importantly, is a hugely enjoyable social gathering among family members and friends.
As the mercury levels drop in the coming months, it is certainly something that many people will be keen to enjoy together.
Check out these four great hotpot restaurants – should you find yourself travelling to Shanghai, mainland China’s financial hub, this winter.
