One of my favourite things there however, was not the hot pot but their deep fried mantou that you can dunk in condensed milk. Fried fluffy dough pillows that you can greedily dredge in a pool of liquid heaven. In the spirit of all things communal at a hotpot joint, double dipping is greatly encouraged.
