Chongqing hot pot, also known as hairy tripe hot pot or spicy hot pot, is a traditional Chinese way of eating. It originated from the extensive dining style of boat trackers on the banks of the Jialing River and Chaotianmen in Chongqing in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The raw materials are mainly beef tripe and pig yellow throat.

, duck intestines, beef blood, etc.

As locals, we often eat at several hot pot restaurants that will definitely make you want to eat them a second time. After all, delicious hot pot is addictive.

They are all delicious and inexpensive restaurants, conscientious hot pot restaurants, and Amway can never be too many.

The first one is known to everyone in Chongqing as "eight tables have been set up for decades, and no more seats will be added no matter how many people there are." It is the eight-table old hot pot restaurant located in Jiaochangkou, Yuzhong District.

This store has been open for decades, and it only has eight tables, which is quite impressive.

The bottom of his pot is a bit dark in color and has a strong aroma, which is the authentic old hot pot flavor.

Although the location of his store is inconspicuous and a bit difficult to find, a quick search on Weibo revealed that most of Chongqing’s travel guides are recommended.

It can be seen that this store has not only captured the hearts of us locals, but also the stomachs of you from other places.

As for the second restaurant, although the traffic is extremely inconvenient, it still can't stop my delicious dog from missing him.

Address: No. 163-1, Huangni Village, Wulidian, Jiangbei District. It opens at 5 o'clock. Usually people start to reserve seats after 4 o'clock (both in the afternoon). If you go late, you may have to wait.

It's been two or three hours.

His store’s black pepper beef, pickled pepper beef, braised pork sausage, eel, and fish.

This is really my must-order menu every time I go there. I highly recommend it to you. I’m drooling just thinking about it.

Although there are really many delicious hotpot restaurants in Chongqing, these two restaurants are my true love.

Promise me, you must eat it!

Therefore, I can only talk about the hot pot that is worth recommending.

First of all, a certain internet celebrity is not recommended.

Even queuing for 5 hours is a short time. A hot pot restaurant like this will only make people hungrier. To add a personal complaint, the taste can only be said to be passable.

Now let’s get to the main topic: distinctive hot pot.

Dongting Fresh Hot Pot, located on Zhongshan 3rd Road, has two stores very close to each other. One is an ordinary hot pot restaurant, and the other is the focus of my talk, because this store is in a cave.

"Hot Pot Hero" brought Dongzi hot pot to people across the country, but for Chongqing people, the mountainous terrain destined Chongqing to have many large and small caves. Using caves to open hot pot restaurants is nothing new.

However, for foreigners who come to travel, this form is still relatively rare.

Therefore, Dongting Fresh Hotpot is now also a hotpot that requires queuing.

As for the taste, it doesn’t matter, it focuses on the mellow aroma and is not too spicy, making it more suitable for outsiders.

Lime City Old Hotpot: Located on Beibin Road, this hotpot is characterized by its decoration, cement stove, enamel tableware, green ceiling fans, and appliances and furniture from the 70s and 80s, which can easily take people back to the past era.

In terms of taste, it's still okay.

Santuoyi Hotpot, there really is no name, just called Santuoyi, located on the South Bank. If the old hotpot in Lime City brings people back to the 1970s and 1980s through decoration, then Santuoyi Hotpot uses price. Don’t doubt it.

The meaning of dragging one is: meat dishes are 3 yuan, vegetarian dishes are 1 yuan.” The above three hot pots are not particularly spicy, so what about those who want spicy food? There is Dalong Hotpot in Shapingba, and Dengji Mangzi Hotpot in Yuzhong District.

It belongs to the spicier group. The characteristics of the two hotpots are also very similar. They are old signs, old shops, and old decorations (in fact, there is almost no decoration, and the tables, chairs and benches have their own vicissitudes). It should be noted that the business of both stores is very good, and

Reservations are not accepted, so please queue up as early as possible. The friend next to me is here to answer! When I was in college in Chongqing, I went to Chongqing once with my dormitory friends!

There was a restaurant called Tiger Hotpot in a very inconspicuous alley with a lot of people in line. It was recommended to us by a local driver.

Spicy! There is no special decoration there, and it looks very inconspicuous. When we entered the store, it was full of people. I found that this store should have the most authentic Chongqing taste. Most of them are locals, and there are almost no food.

For tourists, the environment inside is average, but the taste is authentic and the dining atmosphere is very down-to-earth. I feel that when traveling to a city, you should try the most authentic local food, so I should go to a hot pot restaurant that is popular with locals when I have the opportunity.

, I walked all over the streets and alleys looking for this kind of hot pot restaurant hidden in the alleys.
