We were here for huo guo or hot pot and whilst the tick-sheet is in Chinese only, they do kindly provide an English translation on a separate sheet of A4. It was hard to keep track of the 44 dishes we ordered for our feast. Suffice to say, there was a mix of meat, fish, seafood, meatballs, fishballs, mushrooms, bean curd, vegetables, and of course noodles. The hot pot is £20/head(min 2 persons) and like Little Lamb, this deal allows each diner to select 5 hotpot items. As we were a large party, we were allowed to choose an additional four dishes(like we needed these) and as we paid cash, we also received a 10% discount on the food(but not the drinks). Service was good and my only grumble was that it was difficult to cook with a single hot pot for a party of eight. With hindsight, we may have been better served with two separate pots although that may have resulted in a less convivial atmosphere. I heartily recommend Royal Palace for hotpot. I’d also like to return here and check out some of their regional Chinese specialities.
