Nine Spices Hot Pot

Hot pot is action-oriented and the AYCE option at Nine Spices – where a food conveyor moves ingredients out among the hungry diners for grabbing – ups the ante considerably. Choose your broth base, from the veggie-forward turnip radish to bone or herbal or a nice chicken-beef mix (and more), then go to town cooking up the 50 or so ingredient options on hand for simmering. Fish balls and pumpkin, tofu and watercress, taro and clams, and of course don't miss the bar where sauces and condiments help complete the culinary picture. There are a la carte options for those whose eyes don't go pie-plate-wide when the lure of the conveyor belt kicks in.
