Eating Mala Hotpot in a Chongqing WWII Air Raid Shelter

tender beef slice Wow! Soft tender beef packed with lots of mouth numbing spicies! Then we have tomato marinated pork slices Can’t really seem to taste the tomato here but it was very tender too Next up is duck intestines For the organs part it does taste kinda gamey but the strong mala broth does help to mask it up Then we have liver Which maybe the only meat that the rich mala broth had a hard time masking cause it was still very strong liver tasting The food in the hotpot is ready! The duck blood was clean tasting and so yummy! It is like a hot soft

savory tofu! The sweet potato though was big in size but mellow in taste The radish was did not really absorb the mala and was kinda refreshing The black bean tofu had a sweeter taste compared to regular ones The lotus root pretty does was it does which is hold its strong vegetable texture though cooked The mini hotdogs though small is packed with quite a lot of flavors The ham slices seems to be made of ingredients and tasted similar The luncheon offer the most meaty bite here being thick and juicy And the sweet braised quail egg went well in the spicy
