Before the lockdown days, most of us had a monthly or weekly or maybe for the bolui ones, every two months tradition of going and enjoying some hotpot with friends or family.
But, with the lockdown, so many things have changed, and you can no longer sit around a boiling hot pot of spicy soup with your family and after filling your tummy, going home with your hair, clothes and even sweat smelling like the hotpot soup!
While it might be sad, it is also necessary la, so let’s try and keep the tradition going by ordering some of these self-heating hotpots for your whole family to enjoy:
1. MAMAVEGE Vegetarian Self-Heating Tomato Hotpot
This hotpot set is suitable for vegetarians as it is a plant-based products with a selection of high-quality ingredients, no meat is added in the product. Non vege also can eat la, but if you really need meat then just buy some and mix it in when eating.
The hotpot is suitable for one person only and it includes some noodles, vegetarian Lamb, vegetarian meatball, sweet corn, potato slices and of course some soup base. Wow, how yummy does that sound!
2. XIAOLONGKAN Self-Heating HotPot
If you miss enjoying a nice steaming hotpot with your family at the nearest XIAOLONGKAN, then just order up a bunch of these and eat them together with your family. Tadaa, hotpot family dinner LOL!
This hotpot flavours include Wide Vermicelli, Tomato Beef, Classic Beef Tallow and Mala Steamboat. So, if you are craving for some spicy hotpot, you know which one to pick.
3. Mo Xiao Xian Self Heating Hot Pot Mala
Spicy food lovers are definitely going crazy without their monthly or weekly mala hotpot visits. This hotpot brand will satisfy your need for heat.
It is available in three flavours, Mao Xue Wang (which is related to duck blood), Mala Tender Beef (which sound crazily tempting) and Tomato Beef Brisket (okay, that’s it, I think I’ll have the tender beef and the beef brisket thanks!).
4. HAIDILAO Self-Heating Hot Pot
I know one thing for sure, the really hardcore hotpot fans all love Haidilao, so I am going to bet that it tastes good. Wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy some Haidilao at home while watching the latest K-drama?
Well, choose from 3 flavours: spicy vegetarian, tomato flavoured vegetarian or tomato flavoured chicken hotpot and now your dreams can become reality.
5. YANG GUO FU Self-Heating Hot Pot
By this point in the article, I don’t think I need to explain more about how much you are going to love these self-heating hotpots because gurl you already know it!
This one is probably the most tempting because one of the flavours is tomato luncheon meat sausage slices which contains all my favourite hotpot items, and the other flavours is creamy coconut seafood flavoured self-heating pot that sounds super delicious!
6. Zihaiguo Self-Heating Hotpot
Apparently, this is some famous hotpot brand that celebs seem to love. Whether it is a marketing tactic or if they really love it, the advertising works because I’m adding this to my cart now!
This hotpot brand has so many flavours too. They have Taiwanese Braised Pork, Chicken with Mushroom, Yuxiang Pork Shredded, Twice-cooked pork, Naoha Hot and Sour Noodle, Night Market Mala Tang, Beef Hot and Sour Noodle and Sultry Braised Beef Noodle.
7. Bashu Lazy Steamboat Mala Vegetable
This brand is the first even hotpot brand to venture into the whole self-heating business. Looks like I saved the best for last. This is another vegetarian flavour which will win the heart on non-vegetarians also so go ahead, place your order!
