At the hot pot restaurant next to Wushi Harbor, if you drive, you can park in the curbside parking spaces. On Saturday evening, it was quite crowded when we arrived; you need to leave your personal details to queue for a table. The staff mentioned there is a resting area on the second floor, so we went upstairs to wait for our seats. The upstairs is a simple space with a slide and some small toys for kids to play with, but there isn't much.
Once seated, the staff provided a paper menu, and after a brief introduction, we started ordering by scanning the QR code. Besides hot pot, they surprisingly offer crispy whole chicken and Hong Kong-style snacks, which I thought was quite special. However, since it was our first visit, we decided to try the hot pot first. We ordered a couple's sea and land combo; my friend chose black garlic chicken soup, and I opted for the spicy milk broth, which was rich and not too spicy. The seafood felt pretty fresh, with the clams still moving. There were six types of seafood; although the portions weren't huge, the variety was rich. Their vegetable platter can be exchanged for a meat platter, allowing everyone to choose according to their preferences. The vegetable platter didn't include hot pot ingredients, but it contained 4-5 types of vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, and good starches like sweet potatoes and corn, which felt quite nice. Additionally, the most impressive item was their chicken breast, which remained tender even after cooking for a long time. It was amazing.
The combo we ordered allowed unlimited drinks from the fridge, including cola, Sprite, juice, and green tea, along with a self-serve ice cream option. Personally, I felt that the portion for the couple's combo was quite sufficient, and I left feeling very full.
Overall, the restaurant space is clean and comfortable (except it was a bit stuffy on the second floor). The staff's attitude was also good. They have bar seating, making it suitable for solo diners as well, and there’s a television broadcasting baseball games. Next time, I would like to try their Hong Kong-style dishes if I have the chance.
