9. Hotpot, Chongqing

　　火锅，重庆

　　It’s tasty because there's a layer of rendered beef fat in the kitchen-sink sized hotpot at the center of the table. Dried and fresh red chili peppers and 20 other herbs and spices go into the hotpot soup ensuring that whatever meat, vegetable, noodle or tofu you dip into the hotpot you will be rewarded with a spicy euphoria that will linger long after the meal is over.

　　在桌子中央，摆上一口厨房水槽大小的火锅，浮着一层牛油，美味极了。火锅汤底包含干辣椒、鲜辣椒以及其他20种草药和香料，不管你往火锅里头丢什么，肉、蔬菜、面条或是豆腐，都能给你一种热辣的快感，经久不绝。
