    Mongolian Hot Pot virginity

    September 24, 2019 in Mongolia ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    Sorry for the many posts today but we had a busy and fabulously random day as always.
    The highlight for K was our first Mongolian Hot Pot lunch. This occurred in a restaurant across the road from our friend Alice Mcgrath’s old “Save the Children” work office - Small world!!
    Our table came with built in halogen hot plates.
    We were then advised to go for the set lunch - 2 broths that would be placed on the hot plates and then fresh vegetables and slices of meat that we would “cook” in the pots of broth. This would be accompanied with dumplings, rice, cook ur own noodles, a side of vegetables, 2 x sauces, fresh herbs, fresh garlic and chillies and a pot of green tea!! Blimey - K was in ecstasy!
    What was even funnier was that as we were trying to work out the etiquette/ ritual of this lunch a full film crew and ? Celebrities came in and proceeded to film whilst the glam anchorwoman interviewed one of the men!!
    We probably broke every rule however we rolled out an hour later totally full and v happy!!
