🐟Seafood lovers will be thrilled. The hotpot stall offers a variety of ingredients to choose from. It's like being in a seafood market. There are many types of seafood, all of which are cleaned and placed on plates. Some are even still alive and kicking~ The abalone is very large, and the crabs, squid, scallops, and conpoy are all very fresh. You must be steady, accurate, and fast when putting them in the pot, otherwise they will splash all over you🤣Don't ask me how I know this. 🍲There are 10 types of soup bases. Each person gets a small pot. You can choose the soup base first and then the plate. The price is calculated based on the plates after you finish eating.
