Tastebud : Chong Qing

7 February 2024

Hotpot for dinner! Good to have hotpot when it is winter. I had my first hotpot in April 2022 at Lotus House. It is nice to have hotpot again at another restaurant - Chong Qing. Lucky me that I have some company to enjoy hotpot with as hotpot is best eaten with a group of people. There were 3 of us and it costs SEK279 per person. My friends ordered a 640ml Tsingtao beer that costs SEK99. Before we got our hotpot, we were served 8 pieces of warm dumpling (4 filled with meat and 4 vegetarian). What a lovely surprise! The menu states that 4 dumplings cost SEK75. 

Everything was really good! Happy that I managed to find this place. There are many Chinese restaurants in Stockholm!


These are the condiments to eat with the hotpot. A small bowl of cucumbers and carrots dipped in soya sauce. The big bowl consists of spring onions, garlic dipped in sesame oil.


Our vegetable plate. After we have finished the first plate, we ordered another plate of vegetables with lesser variety - pak choy, napa cabbage (in Sweden, this is known as Chinese cabbage) and glass noodles. 


Our hotpot is set up! Pot filled with two types of broth - vegetable broth and spicy broth filled with Sichuan pepper. The waitress informed us that she will top up the servings when we are done if we need more. We did not order more for the meat and seafood.

For the meat - a bowl of chicken and beef strips. 
For the seafood - fishballs, prawns, squid, fish cakes. 
We were satisfied with the portions.
