We got Hot Pot at home
I remember one summer me and my husband went to hotpot multiple times. Like a lot of times. And one day he said he wanted to buy a Hot Pot set instead. So he bought a double boiler Hot Pot set from the local Asian Mart. But if you want to do it the easy way, you can get stainless steel pot and boil it on the stove. This just makes date night fun for us. 🫶🏾
