The mandarin duck pot with the soup base has the red and white soup base tumbling and looks exceptionally beautiful.
Megan doesn't know how to use chopsticks. The store also gave her a set of knives and forks. She watched Lisko skillfully using two wooden sticks to rinse her up and down quickly, and wanted to try it.
"Oh, no, this is so difficult." Megan pouted. She had never used this kind of tableware before, feeling that her fingers could not separate the two chopsticks.
"Come on, you taste it, I'll help you get it." Lisko put the cooked meat into her bowl.
"Stop it with a fork and dip some sauce." Lisko looked at Megan's awkward look dozingly.
"Um~ it's delicious, but there is still this way to eat it?" Just as Megan put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up.
"The meat is boiled in the hot soup, and it won’t be left in it for long. Basically, it will come out in less than 1 minute. At that time, the nutrition of the ingredients is not destroyed and the taste is very unique. Dip with special sauce, winter This is the best."

The dessert after meal is tortoise shell jelly. The hot pot restaurant makes this slightly bitter health care product together with other things to make a very delicious dessert.
"This is a kind of dessert. It is mainly made from eagle-billed turtles and Smilax glabra as raw materials, and then refined with herbs such as rehmannia. Because the hot pot we just ate is very hot, this kind of food can remove heat, clear dampness, and refresh the skin. This is the combination of yin and yang in Chinese culture.” Liske introduced to Megan that she would not refuse anything with a beauty function, and the refreshing taste made her amazed.
