Let’s Start With Lunch

Hot Pot, it’s a Chinese traditional, classic meal. Great on a cold day and it’s oddly popular all year round. Every region in China has their own style, seemingly suitable to their unique climate. The further south you go the more spicy it gets but not all hot pots are about how hot you can handle. This is why I love LiShui hot pot. Mushrooms are a specialty here so it’s fitting to have the best mushroom soup style hot pot options. We had two flavours, mushroom and tomatoe. At first I thought it looked super spicy, but as always I try everything, happy to have learned it was tomatoe and not killer death hotness.

The LiShui Mansion

My host for lunch offered to give us a tour of her company’s mansion reserved only for the most elite of her clients when they are in town. After she treated us to lunch she spoiled us to seeing what’s really going down here. She said it would be scary to stay there alone since it was so big but after the tour I beg to differ.

I will let the photos speak for me.

Well, this is LiShui today. Beautiful in every way, and many more yet to be discovered.

Let’s end this post with throw back image from a couple months ago of the place I live at now.

Merry Christmas,
