The earliest origin of Shu Qi's "Ning Kee Hot Pot" is in Taiwan - the origin of Ning Kee Spicy Hot Pot has been linked to big names from the beginning - Mr. Chiang Kai-shek's chef Jiang Lingning was eager to try creative cuisine , traveled to Chengdu and then to Chongqing, studied and pondered carefully, and finally created his own Ningji Hotpot - just taking the word "Ning" in the name. Mr. Jiang Lingning's hot pot is not as spicy as Sichuan hot pot, which is unacceptable to people who are afraid of spicy food, so they take a restrained and feminine route. The bottom of the pot is also unique. From the very beginning, tofu and duck blood have been used in it. The tofu is fragrant and waxy, and the duck blood is soft and greasy, which is different from conventional tofu and duck blood.

Hong Kong Ning Kee Hot Pot Restaurant, hot pot is a delicacy suitable for all ages. Family and friends sit around the fire, and the atmosphere is harmonious. As long as the taste is good, the business will naturally flourish. Ningji Hot Pot, originated from Sichuan, has mastered the four key points of Sichuan hot pot: "numbing", "spicy", "fresh" and "fragrant". The soup base has a thick butter aroma and a very pure taste.

More importantly, its investors are sexy movie star Shu Qi and famous director Wang Jing. There is a large display window at the entrance of Ningji Hot Pot Restaurant, which displays the signatures of the guests. When I walked up and took a closer look, I saw in the window the signatures of Wen Jun, Jordan Chan, Christine Yang, Chen Xiaodong and other celebrities. It is definitely a star store worthy of its name.

In order to highlight the "celebrity atmosphere" of the hot pot restaurant, the wall on the side of the store is covered with reports of many celebrities visiting the store. Stores opened by celebrities naturally appear in movies. The movie "Sexy City" starring Cecilia Cheung, Carina Lau, and Zhu Yin was shot in this hot pot restaurant, and the movie "Hong Jin Thirteen Sisters" was also shot here. It seems that Shu Qi really has a business mind.

Near Ning Kee, there was Tiantian Fishing Port in the 1980s, opened by Alan Tam and others; there was also a spiritual restaurant related to food - Lin Bo's Causeway Bay Bookstore.

Later, as the reputation of the restaurant grew, Ning Ji Spicy Hot Pot invested by Shu Qi in Hong Kong became popular throughout Hong Kong.
