Hot pot in old Hong Kong

Paying homage to old Hong Kong, the vintage interiors of @city.of.darkness take inspiration from its name (referring to Kowloon Walled City) and instantly transport you back in time 🕰️ You can even drink beer out of chilled ‘battle bowls’, super reminiscence of the past 🍻 Everything we ordered was super fresh, in particular the beef cut was meaty with just the right thickness and marbling 🥩 We didn’t have any seafood, but here’s some unique items that we highly recommend: [𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞] Only the medium and large broths can be split in two for an additional fee of HKD20. We got the tomato 🍅 sirloin one (very flavorful and packed full of ingredients) and the spicy mala one (the numbing sensation was heightened with every mouthful) [𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐩 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞] Although the fried dough sticks got a little soggy while waiting for the shrimp paste to be thoroughly cooked, the two ingredients complemented each other perfectly 🦐 Such a great idea to mix these popular hot pot ingredients together 👏🏻 [𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐭/𝐅𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬] Out of the 5 flavours, my personal faves were the shrimp and pork (over beef, cuttlefish and dace fish), but all were super chewy and compact 👍🏻 P.S. take note that they charge HKD18 per person for their homemade sauces and HKD20 pp for appetisers (peanuts and seasoned cucumbers) ✨ 𝙁𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 @𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚.𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨.𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬𝙨 📍 City of Darkness 7/F, Golden Wheel Plaza, 68 Electric Road, Tin Hau (MTR exit A2) #foodie #hong Kong #本地遊
