I chose a restaurant I had never been to for a birthday dinner, and it was absolutely amazing! My friends said we should plan to go once a month 😂. This restaurant is located in an alley, not directly on a main road, so parking is a bit inconvenient. You might have to wait for a parking spot on Henan Road or Lidong Road, and it's easier for motorcycles.
However, because of its location, it doesn’t feel crowded like roadside eateries. It's like the artistic version of a hot pot restaurant. The overall environment and service were very good. When the broth was served, the staff introduced the ingredients. When I drank the broth, I really felt my pores opening up. I was originally worried it would be too hot and greasy to eat during the summer, but the broth made with Job's tears is said to help with dampness, so I ate with peace of mind 😂.
That day we ordered about 4-5 additional plates of ingredients. Whether it was shrimp balls or vegetables, everything was delicious. A friend who normally doesn’t drink soup ended up drinking so much that they couldn’t save room for the porridge we wanted to make with the broth, so we had to leave with regrets until next time.
As I keep writing, I feel like we should plan to go with friends again! 😋
