Peijie Old Hotpot
×Chongqing hotpot (tripe)
Why you must eat itA pot of beef tallow, chili and Sichuan pepper cooked scarlet arrives the moment you sit. The centre of the nine-grid runs hottest; hold the tripe with chopsticks, dip it about seven seconds, and lift it the instant it curls. A drop into the oil dish (sesame oil and garlic) takes the edge off the heat. This is a pot you eat sweating, and you set the spice level when you order.
A well-known Chongqing hotpot house with its flagship in a lane off Minsheng Road at Jiaochangkou. Unlike Chengdu's, Chongqing hotpot runs high on beef tallow — thick and fierce. You can eat alone, but ordering several offals and greens to share is the local way. Peak hours and weekends can mean a one-to-two-hour wait, and more shops now run a ticket queue.
