Hotpot 火锅
Hotpot (or huǒ guō) is a pot full of boiling water in which you throw pieces of vegetables, meat and fish and will eat served with different sauces. You will find hotpot in all China with, of course, some regional variations (e.g. Sichuan hotpot is probably more spicy). When in Shanghai I would recommend Plantain & Rain Hotpot restaurant, which serve Australian beef.
