THAT’S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION. I’ve only ever had hot pot three times in my life: once in the Philippines, once in the basement of a Chinese church and once camping. The reason my reply comes so late is because I did a little research for you p:
However, by research, I mean asking my one of my too many Chinese friends, Stanley, that goes out to eat a lot and pretty much knows every Chinese restaurant in the city. Oh and some very quick google searches. I also asked my dad but it’s pretty much what Stanley said but less.
I’ve concluded that there’s Forbidden City inside T&T in the South but that place only has hot pot on certain days so you have to call in and ask when they have it. There’s Regecy Palace on the top floor of Dragon City mall in Chinatown. I’ve read a lot about Regency’s hot pot and it’s either hit or miss. Some think it’s a great place to get together with friends and eat with and some think the food is below par.
Lastly, there’s The Cultural Centre Restaurant. I distinctly remember there being the words “hot pot” in the title somewhere when I last passed by though. It’s got a really good review on Urbanspoon (90%) so I assume it’s worth a try. I remember having a field trip to the Cultural Centre in grade 2 or 4 or something a really long time ago and we ate lunch at this restaurant.
Anywho, if I find any more restaurants or end up going to one myself, I will definitely update you on whether or not it was worthy (:
