the communal boiling pot of water as a dinner apparatus is ingrained in most asian genes as easy, quick, satisfying and fulfilling. it's basic concept has been developed, nuanced, modernized, sweetened, soured, thickened, curry-ized and chili-ized, yet through all it's bastardized adaptation, the most luxury of high end hot pots is clearly exhibited by the restaurant ORANGE 橘色. located on in the basement of da an road, the stairway entrace from the street gives the same indication to a restaurant as an underground casino. but after ur eyes adjust to the japanese sake bar ambience and take note to the food on the table, u realize that there's nothing awe dropping to the high priced menu. u look at the menu and it looks all complex and expensive with set dinners and promotions, the waitress guides you through it and u just end up with a copper pot of clear bland stock and ur orders arrive as the freshest of nature's edible raw bounty. seafood, meat, vegetables come unadulterated, clean, relatively large pieces and of the highest of quality. that's hot pot.
they did give us that was a little nouveau. chicken wing stuffed with cod roe.
