OK. Your favorite. Whether it be the local 'hole in the wall' or the entire fourth floor of a building. A few details of why it is your favorite would be appreciated. |

i personally like the hot pot with big bone so my vote goes to three travelers. whatever the white soup option is, it's fantastic.
kuo bee pen da has great thai flavor hot pot.
dolar is good, i just dont go as much because its pricier.
stranger has all you can drink beer/soda so that's an automatic. |

Since they are so different, I was just wondering if you are making a distinction between Mongolian and Sichuan Hotpot restaurants. |

Another way - do Hot Pot in home. Buy an heater ~200 RMB and pot. All prepared meats and veggies, souses - selling in supermarket. Just do it and enjoy by.. silent. |

No I haven't. I'm a big fan of the Shabu Shabu Japanese style Hot Pot. Also a big fan of any style Sichuan food. (The fried rib bones are an acquired taste)
What are the differences between the two and where can I formulate an opinion? |

This is true. Can't ever have enough cooking gear to clutter the Kitchen. The Mission objective is to be able to recreate in my own Kitchen the best Hot Pot ever! Its a hobby. My Thai is . . . Thai, Mexican is puro chingaso!, my Chinese is countryside style, etc
On the flip side IMO, Hot Pot is a social thing, as all food should be. To enjoy good food and good company is to enjoy life. |

Wuji Spicy Hotpot 吴记老锅底, owned by a taiwanese is good, the spices are the real kick. Their condiments are interesting too -- Peanut sauce in lovely pink hue with parsley.  Do have more of their braised tofu. |

| Post subject: Best quality ingredient |
I could recommend this spot:
Plantain & Rain, 919, Tianshan Lu, 3rd floor. 919 天山路，919号，3层。021－56128777
The food quality was good (Australian meat). You can mix up your sauces and they have a great selection. |
