On Sunday, the Chinese New Year, CJ went on her first visit to the hinterlands of Brooklyn. We went to the home of Wendy, our Mandarin teacher, for a huo guo (hot pot) feast. Joining us at Wendy's table were her fellow social work students at Columbia. Wendy is in the front on the left; Li Zhu, one of our Mandarin conversation buddies, in in the middle on the far side of the table.
This is what huo guo looks like in action:
You basically boil water on a burner, which runs on a can of butane, and then drop all sorts of raw things in the water. We had shrimp, fish, squid, oysters, fish cakes, bok choy, watercress, noodles, and tofu. Quite tasty!
