Sizzling Pot King Revisited

Thank goodness for the recent cool weather. The Missus wanted something "a bit" spicy. She chose Sizzling Pot King. And we ended up going back two more times!

There's something comforting about the simple, just spicy and numbing enough dry pot that SPK makes.

It's pretty much the same thing all the time; the Large Dry Pot ($30.99); we've found that stuff like chicken, beef, and pork just don't hold up well after a while and the portion size here makes for three meals! The tendon had gone downhill over the course of several meals last year. So, we just stick with tripe and pork intestine....oh, gotta have that frozen tofu ($2.99) to suck up all the nice spice as well.

Nice and numbing. Someone mentioned to me once, that cauliflower and potatoes had no place in Chinese cuisine. I told the young man that the Missus grew up eating stir fried potato and cauliflower with tomato....in China! We both wish there was a bit more mung bean sprouts; but I think the majority of "give me more meat" folks would disagree. Anyway, fragrant, generous portions, nice spice, decent flavor, you'll definitely need some rice.

In the course of a week we revisited Village North, Village Kitchen (posts upcoming), and SPK....... this is where the Missus wanted to return to. Go figure.

I personally haven't seen cauliflower in a Chinese restaurant but who's to say it has no place? That's a pretty blunt statement. I'm enjoying the cooler weather in general. Pretty soon it'll be hot pot making time!

Interesting comment from the young man. My MIL makes stir fried potatoes and cauliflower all the time. "Shrugs"

Sounds good Kat!

Hi Nicole - Yes, totally....China is a huge country, there's a lot of different styles of cuisine going on.

Hey TFD - I thought it was funny. The guy is Chinese.....
