One of their specialties is the traditional Chongqing style hot pot broth, prepared with special butter (in a shape of a cow!), red hot chilis, Sichuan peppercorn, and many other exotic herbs and spices. Fair warning, this is a super spicy broth! The kind that builds over time and leaves your mouth with a numbing and stimulating sensation.
Does the snowy weather just make you want to cuddle up and sit around the fireplace all day? Us Chinese have another way to fight the cold weather — hotpot. While we usually have hotpot at home, we do go out for it sometimes. There are many hotpot places in Vancouver, with a mix of all-you-can-eat and a la carte options. Recently, I was invited to check out one of the a la carte hotpot places called Liuyishou Hotpot. It’s a worldwide chain, with a few locations in the Lower Mainland in Vancouver, Richmond and Burnaby.
With the Chinese New Year happening next month, one renowned hot pot chain is celebrating by offering special Chinese New Year menus for customers. In collaboration with Vancouver Gourmet Tours, Liuyishou Hot Pot is presenting Liuyishou Hot Pot Week 2018 from February 26 – March 2 at locations in Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Richmond Hill, Toronto, Ottawa, and Edmonton. Originating from Chongqing, China, Liuyishou Hot Pot specializes in Chongqing style (spicy) hot pot and has over 1,000 locations worldwide. I was recently invited to a media preview of the Chinese New Year menus. Here’s a look at what you can expect.
