Part of Qiao Lin Hotpot

First location is Located adjacent to 88 Marketplace, this contemporary, China-based chain is one of the best places to get your Chongqing-style hot pot fix. Choose from six broths—you can try up to three flavors in one pot—along with ingredients like Kobe beef, pork belly, lamb shoulder, jumbo scallops, prawns and more. A sauce bar lets you create the perfect dipping sauce for the meats and veggies, while matcha cake helps take the heat off at the end of the meal.
