Hong Jiujiu is the most delicious, recommended by experienced foodies. Several hot pot base ingredients are used to cook a pot of soup at the same time. By comparing them, you can see who is better and who is worse.

What Haidilao is really famous for is the attentive service provided by physical stores. If we only talk about hot pot base ingredients and taste, Haidilao and Hong Jiujiu are not on the same level. Hong Jiujiu does not have a physical store and only sells base ingredients. Famous for taste and quality. The best-selling hot pot base is Hong Jiujiu, with more than 100 million bags a year. It can also be used as bean paste and chili sauce for cooking.

My experience, whether it is better than the hot pot base, depends on whether the hot pot tastes good after it is boiled, and whether there is a butter aroma (not a spice aroma). Authentic Chongqing hot pot then After eating, you will have the smell of hot pot, but it will dissipate quickly. If the smell cannot be removed even in the sun, it is a new style hot pot with a lot of spices, which I personally do not recommend. There are also some hot pot base ingredients that are just okay before cooking, but will lose flavor after eating for a while. When you pour out the soup base after eating, you will feel that the soup is a little watery (no oil).

Having tasted almost all the famous hot pot bases on the market, only Hong Jiujiu is a must-have, and the others are just alternatives if Hong Jiujiu is not available.
