Truly the most decadent hot pot you will ever have… it’s referred to as the “Hermes of hot pots” (I’m not even kidding). There are a few of these scattered throughout Shanghai, but the Xintiandi location is my favorite. This is a great spot for American visitors, because hot pot is such a unique and delicious way to eat, and it’s something that’s hard to come by back in the states. Basically, you choose a type of soup and what you’d like to cook in it. The waiter brings the soup in a pot with a special heater inside it to your table along with the ingredients you’ve chosen (meat, fish, veggies, etc). Then they cook inside the pot at your table.
