A Most Interesting Lunch

A couple of weeks ago I went to lunch with some friends at a hot pot restaurant! I believe the English translation was something like drain pot submarine!! It is a chain restaurant that has 4 different locations in Tianjin. Danny had been to a different location previously and he always raved about the customer service! He was definitely right about the customer service - they take it to the extreme!!

If you have to wait for your table, you can do it while you enjoy a manicure!

Then, I had my iphone sitting on the table beside me, so they came over and put it in a little baggie so it wouldn't get any food on it.

Next, they brought us all aprons to wear during the meal!!

The food came immediately. We chose one spicy broth and also a mushroom broth to put our veggies and meat in! I had the tiniest of tastes of the spicy hot pot and could hardly breathe, it was too hot! I stuck with the mushroom broth and the veggies!

Finally, towards the end of our meal we were entertained by the noodle man. He did a little kung fu movement while he made the noodles - it was very entertaining!!

I would definitely go back and eat here again! As you know, this is not always the case with many new restaurants I try here! I believe that the entertainment value of the whole meal was worth my burning mouth and throat!! Plus, it's always important to be surrounded by wonderful friends!!
