Chongqing is one of the biggest cities in China, this city is a fascinating place for cultural heritage and natural wonders. Chongqing is unique city surrounded by the mountains and where confluence of Yangtze river and Jialing river are.
Things you should try when you are in Chongqing is The Chongqing Foods, One of the foods is Chongqing Hotpot, the tastes of the hot pot for me tremendously spicy, its mix of Sichuan pepper, chilies and herbs. The tasted of original Chongqing Hotpot broth is spicy with different levels of spiciness.
The hot pot items could be ducks intestines, chickens intestines, tripe, blood of ducks or chickens, vegetables, mushrooms, fish, seafood, noodles, etc. We can choose the hot pot items and the hot pot sauce as we like. In the traditional restaurant they normally provides sesame oils, copped garlic, copped coriander leafs, salt and chili flakes, msg (some people might be like it), pickles also vinegar. Mostly hot pot place also provides tea or water for free, and if you order a bowl of rice it will be additional charges.
I found out something interesting a way of how to eat Hotpot that need to have a bowl of rice. Tap the foods items up (such as vegetables, meet, etc.) on the rice before eating it. The purpose is to remove the excess oils on the foods, but if you like to eat the rice too, you can do so.
I'm pretty much like spicy foods but Chongqing spicy is different, the Sichuan pepper will leave numbness on the tongue once you bite it, and yet the smells of the spices uplifted my appetites and my moods too!. I just couldn’t get enough of Chongqing Hotpot, very delicious and spicy. If you are not a big fan of spicy foods, you can ask half pot of spicy broth and other half without spicy.
It's more fun to enjoy the Chongqing hot pot with friends or family, don't forget to invite your local friends that can explains you more. A good tips for those who doesn't like spicy but wanted to try hot pot, always have some sweet fruits or juice on the side, in case you bite some chili or Sichuan pepper. The more the merrier!
