Chong Qing Huo Guo Hot Pot Restaurant

If you want to try authentic and delicious Chinese hotpot you should come to Johannesburg’s Chinatown Cyrildene and pay a visit to Chong Qing Hot Pot on Derrick Avenue

The place is names after the 4th largest city in China where this style of cooking was popularized,

choose from a selection of meats and vegetables and your choice of or regular of spicy hotpot which is this brought over to your table.  

Today I went for bok choy, beef, noodles, coriander balls and mushrooms which are added to the aromatic broth as it starts to boil.

An iconic addition to a hot pot meal is a dipping sauce which can include peanut butter, chili oil, garlic, spring onion, coriander, msg, oyster, sesame and soy sauce mixed all together.

Hot pots are a social meal, and this place is a great idea to bring a partner of friends as you sit outside on the balcony decorated with an abundance of hanging plant life, overlooking the busy streets of Chinatown below with the east of Johannesburg in the distance.

The hotpot is packed with flavour and reasonably priced at less than 300 for this meal easily feeding 2. I’d highly recommend you check this place out. Remember to follow me for more adventure and comment to let me know where to explore next?
