Chengdu Sichuan Hotpot.

Huo Guo, also known as Sichuan Hotpot, was on today's lunch menu. Du Xin, Ren and I went to the source, a hotpot restaurant in downtown Chengdu known for it's extremely spicy food. We ordered the extra spicy and proceeded to eat a wide variety of exceptional food.  Beef, pork, vegetables, some things from the inside of an animal (umm, ok) – really fantastic, but not very spicy. While we had ordered the extra spicy, Du Xin described it as "not so spicy". In any case, it was a great lunch for around 106RMB (15USD).

PS: tipping is NOT acceptable here. Found out the hard way.
