 I went to Mongolia Hot Pot which locates at Union City. It is a big restaurant and famous place to eat. Ever time when I go to this restaurant always can see lots of people eating and some people seat on the long sofa to wait to eat it. Before I go to Mongolia Hot Pot, I am a little bit confused about why this restaurant has lots of people to eat? Does the taste is really good? So I went to here and eat. Also, I was making an appointment before I go, so I didn’t need to wait. My confused is resolved after I ate. You can smell the deliciousness even before walking in the door. Yes, it is that strong. I would suggest making reservations for this place if you plan on coming for dinner.This is a nice, comfortable place and the service is good. They are fast and nice to ask you what your order is, and walk around inside restaurant and see what customer need. I was got the half and half soup base just in case someone in your group can't eat the spice. We ordered two dishes of beef and one dish of shrimp, chicken balls, chicken breast, udon noodles, and veggie assortment platter. It is enough to eat for two and three people. I like to eat spicy side and feel so good to eat hot pot. Their soup base was awesome and flavorful.  After this time, every time I go to eat hot Pot is like a pig feels so hungry. The restaurant introduction paper put on the table and it teach you how to eat hot pot in right way. To put all meat first and put fish ball, beef ball second, at end of your eating, put vegetable, it can keep the soup taste becoming great. If you want eat some soup first, just drink it at beginning, because it will not grow lots of weight.  People always afraid to eat hot pot because some of they think about hot pot is really oil and easy to get unhealthy body. However, in Mongolia Hot Pot, the restaurant use nature raw material in the soup, and make people healthier. I like to eat Hot Pot, I always eat many vegetable when I eat Hot Pot, and for my suggestion, put vegetable in the un-spicy side pot, and it will keep vegetable fresh. After eating, I know why this restaurant has good evaluate as everybody said. I also understand why the people who seat nearby our table and take the leave over food back home, because they want eat it again in second day. In that time, I had a only one bad experience is I put too many chili in my Hot Pot, and I feel uncomfortable with my belly after I go back to home.
From the restaurant, I can tell Mongolia Hot Pot is from Mongolia province. Mongolia is located in North part of China, it is a nomad city and people who live here like to eat meat every day. They have strong body and good healthy. In recently years, People can eat Hot Pot in many cities in China, for example, in Shanghai, Beijing, etc. One thing is interest is each city’s Hot Pot has difference taste, some cities is spicier, some cities only has sweet pot.
Cooking Hot Pot is not really easy, but also not really difficult. I was bought some Mongolia Hot Pot raw material in the supermarket and put noodles, beef, pork, vegetables together. After 10 minutes, the great Hot Pot well done.
Go to Union City eat Mongolia Hot Pot when you hungry, it is really delicious.
