You’ve eaten hot pot at a restaurant, or at the very least seen it offered at restaurants near you. But did you know that thanks to the minimal prep required, it’s actually the perfect dinner party meal to have with friends at home? 



Melanie Xu, a lifelong fan and staunch advocate of Chongqing Ma La hot pot, makes the case.

Thank you to Mel and Andrew for their hot pot hospitality!
