The influence of the Chongqing hotpot in the Chinese food circles is unquestionable. However, the villainously oily and spicy flavor of Chongqing hotpot, as well as the dominant Chinese guests, means it faces great difficulty in entering local catering markets. LaMei Hot Pot refuses to play by the old rules. Instead, it has successfully incorporated the healthy dining concept into traditional hotpot in a disruptive way while retaining the authentic flavors of Chongqing hotpot. The move not only represents a breakthrough to the embarrassment that the Chongqing hotpot is “limited to Chinese” and hugely boosts its popularity among local diners, but it also facilitates more diners to try and truly love Chongqing hotpot.

A Perfect Combination of Healthiness and Authenticity

Preferences for different flavors vary greatly among modern people, not to mention their exceptional pickiness towards the flavors of hotpot. Spicy food lovers may refuse to tolerate a hot stomach and instead seek healthier options. To meet the varied needs, the operators of LaMei Hot Pot have racked their brains to make disruptive reforms over everything of the restaurant from decoration, ingredients to flavor.

As a restaurant touting the offering of authentic Chongqing mala spicy hotpot, the flavor is, by all means, the most important issue. The most eye-catching sight at LaMei Hot Pot is, of course, the irresistible multi-flavor base soups and a great variety of fresh ingredients. Differing significantly from the majority of hotpot restaurants in the market, the base soups of the restaurant are freshly prepared on a daily basis using top-grade ingredients and freshest chili to ensure a uniquely rich taste. Ingredients used by the restaurants are known for their abundance and high quality, which include the Kobe Beef air-freighted from Japan, the abundant Seafood Combo and officially certified Beef Omasum Slices and High Choice Beef. Apart from that, all types of Sichuan and Chongqing snacks and desserts are also offered above ordinary quality.

Healthiness has always been a top priority for LaMei Hot Pot. Ever since the first day when the restaurant was opened, it has upheld the principle of healthy dining and maximized its efforts to ensure the nutrition and healthiness of hotpot. All base soups are prepared manually without any additives. Apart from traditional Jiugongge Chinese butter, the soups also include Wild Mushrooms broth made out of dozens of fresh mushrooms, the sweet and fresh bones broth, as well as mini pots designed for individual diners. All these efforts are meant to satisfy the flavor preferences of the majority of guests to the highest extent.

Such perseverance eventually helps the restaurant to be recognized by a large number of local diners. The concept of popular taste and healthiness is also in line with the trend and requirements of modern catering. It must be admitted that the restaurant has taken a clever and insightful move.

“Extraordinary Competitiveness” Cultivated by Constant Learning

The competition in today’s catering industry has never been more fierce. Instead of feeling content about their success, operators at LaMei Hot Pot maintain proper awareness of the potential crisis and engage themselves in constant learning. It is also such a rare mindset towards learning that has helped the restaurant to constantly elevate its strength in a noisy environment and stand its feet amid fierce competition.
