lmc2009I haven't eaten hotpot for more than a month, and I miss the taste of hotpot. I can only look at the photos to recall the taste. This is Chongqing Laoxuejiao Waiguan Hotpot. Because it is in an air-raid shelter, it is commonly known as Dongdong Hotpot. It is very popular because the hotpot hero was filmed here. Of course, the reason why this hotpot restaurant can be so popular in Chongqing, where people are picky about taste, is because of the real ingredients!

This is the filming location of "Hot Pot Heroes". It is said that it was on the verge of bankruptcy before the filming. After the movie was released, diners came in an endless stream and the business was very hot. However, in the eyes of picky Chongqing diners, the key is the taste, especially their yellow throat, fresh duck intestines, brain flower and tripe.
The filming location of "Hot Pot Heroes", coming here to eat was highly recommended by a friend, and it is said that it has now become a place for Internet celebrities to check in. The environment is average, but it is very distinctive, and the most important thing is that the taste is very authentic. This hot pot restaurant is near the tube building where "Better Days" was filmed. Eating hot pot here is about culture.
The Dongdong hotpot has Chongqing characteristics and tastes very Chongqing. Even I, who love spicy food, can't stand the spiciness, but it is really satisfying. Since the broadcast of Hot Pot Heroes, Chongqing's Dongdong hotpot has become popular all over the country. If you come to Chongqing, you must eat hotpot, and if you eat hotpot, you must eat Dongdong hotpot.
How could you come to Chongqing and miss out on Chongqing hot pot? My old classmate recommended this place, "Old Classmate Hot Pot," and the name is so fitting! However, to the embarrassment of us Chengdu people, we actually ordered a half-and-half pot (also called a compromise pot). The spicy broth was pure Chongqing flavor—very direct and spicy with a wonderful aftertaste. The mild broth was generously portioned and incredibly fresh. It's quite an achievement for the restaurant to find such delicious mild broth in Chongqing. The dishes were served in earthenware bowls, very down-to-earth, and the ingredients were incredibly fresh. Eating meat and drinking wine in this large building was a truly enjoyable experience. Definitely worth a second visit.
