吳記麻辣鴛鴦火鍋

Braces Review: There's a washbasin that's quite convenient.

This is my first time dining here, and I can feel the owner's warm enthusiasm. She explains how to enjoy the soup base, sauces, and dishes, and occasionally comes by to refill the broth and offers to package leftovers.

This time, the two of us ordered:

• Duo flavor hot pot (for up to three people) $400
  Half spicy hot pot and half cabbage hot pot, unlimited duck blood tofu refill
  The cabbage pot has frozen tofu, cabbage, and taro.

• Braised chicken feet $160

• Local grass-fed beef (small) $480

• Pork loin (small) $280

• Original taste dumplings & snow vegetable dumplings half each $260

• Fresh bean curd skin $120

• Mixed fish balls (fresh shrimp ball + Sichuan ball + squid ball) $360

• Crispy pork ribs $320

• Beef offal (beef tripe + beef tendon) small $300

The spicy pot has a rich broth that's not overwhelmingly salty and has an herbal taste. Towards the end, they help add more white broth, and the duck blood tofu is quite tender. The meats are average. I prefer the snow vegetable dumplings. The fresh shrimp balls are full of real shrimp meat 👍. The beef offal is different from others; it’s not pre-braised as the owner mentioned, they only use blanched. The beef tendon is soft and tasty. I find the crispy pork ribs average, quite tough to chew. Overall, it's pretty good, and I would return. Next time, I want to try the seafood.
