Hotpot, also known as steamboat, is a cherished traditional Chinese dish celebrated for its communal dining experience. It involves simmering a flavorful broth or soup stock in a large pot at the center of the table. Diners then cook a variety of thinly sliced meats, vegetables, and other ingredients in the broth, dipping them into sauces before enjoying. Hotpot is a main course meant to be shared among family and friends, fostering a sense of togetherness.
Common hotpot ingredients include thinly sliced meats, mushrooms, tofu, seafood, and leafy vegetables. These ingredients are cooked in a simmering broth flavored with salt, spices, and herbs. Diners customize their experience by dipping cooked ingredients into sauces like soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, or chili oil.
Xiao Long Kan hotpot has restaurants in various Asian countries such as Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Japan. It also has a presence in Australia and New Zealand, as well as in Canada, the United States, and several European cities including Madrid, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, and Düsseldorf. Furthermore, it is planning to open a new establishment in Lisbon later this year.
Xiao Long Kan Málaga proudly holds the title of being Spain’s largest Chinese hotpot restaurant, offering a dining experience like no other on the Costa del Sol.
