Dinner was at "Little Sheep" a chain restaurant originating in Inner Mongolia and specializing in what they call hot pot and pretty popular all over China. You basically have a heated pot of boiling water and aromatics (garlic, onions, and other weird unidentifiable things). Ours happened to be split in two, a mild side and a hot side. And yes, the red on the left side is all chili peppers. You then order a variety of raw foods, then cook them yourselves in the boiling soup. Our featured dish was pig brain, which wasn't half bad!
