"It's cold and windy, so of course it's time for hot pot! There's a budget hot pot restaurant nearby, so let's try it out and see how it measures up in terms of value, freshness of ingredients, and taste," by Little Brother.

<Thoughts on the meal after dining🥣>
Conclusion: You can go there for a hearty meal at the end of the month!
I don't know why, but I've been to quite a few small hot pot places since childhood, and the seafood has always been disappointing, with very poor freshness.
However, this particular hot pot place has decent and quite fresh vegetables, aside from the seafood.
The spicy duck blood was super ordinary... it lacked flavor, although the portion was large and chunky. But seeing the braising sauce served with the spicy duck blood... it makes me wonder if the preparation method was a bit too careless.
The sauce station had very few condiments... it didn't even have basic scallions or garlic, just chili sauce and base ingredients, which felt a bit underwhelming.
On a positive note, the utensils are eco-friendly, and there is also a disinfection cabinet, which adds some points.
Plus, there were drinks (from a brand I had never seen before) available to enjoy, and for this price point, it's acceptable.
