What to expect
Built for foreign travellers, this is hotpot made easy: your guide handles the menu, the spice and the etiquette so you can just enjoy the meal.
Choose your pot and set the spice
Before we eat, your guide explains the options and helps you pick: full-spice mala, a mild split-pot, or a clear broth. Allergies and non-spicy needs are settled first.
We order the right platters for you
Your guide orders fresh, hygiene-checked platters, explains what each one is, and paces the table so nothing is rushed or wasted.
Cook, dip and eat like a local
Learn how long each ingredient needs, how to mix your own dipping sauce, and the small table habits that make hotpot fun rather than confusing.
Best for
Food-focused travellers who want real Chongqing flavours without struggling through menus, spice levels and ordering etiquette alone.

- Dietary needs, allergies and non-spicy options are checked before the route is built.

Questions travellers ask
Absolutely. We can set up a mild split-pot or a clear broth so you still get the full hotpot experience without the heat. You choose your spice level before we order.
You do not need to. Your guide reads the menu, orders the right platters, explains each one and paces the meal, so you can relax and simply eat.
We only book tables our guides trust and make hygiene-aware choices on the raw platters, so you can enjoy authentic hotpot with confidence.
Yes, and it is half the fun. Chongqing hotpot is usually paired with a sesame-oil and garlic dip that cools the spice. Your guide shows you how locals mix theirs.
Both. It works as a standalone evening or can be woven into a multi-day private Chongqing itinerary alongside the night view, city sights or a day trip.
