Landmark Hotpot House
October 8, 2009
Healthy, warming, family-friendly hot pot cooking—diners poach ingredients in simmering broth—is incredibly popular throughout China. Given Chinese diners’ fixation on fresh ingredients, Landmark delivers quality at the highest level on meats, seafood, and vegetables. Choose the split pot, which allows you to sample both a hot and spicy broth and the simplicity of a clear stock. The well-marbled beef is an excellent starting point, with only a quick dip needed for perfect medium rare tenderness. The house-made seafood and meat dumplings are exemplary. Lobster, spot prawns, and thinly sliced fresh fish all emerge from the soup ringing with sweet freshness. A few fistfuls of napa cabbage or watercress and a bowl of noodles round out the meal. Beer is considered a healthy, “cooling” balance to hot pot dining, so indulge you inner Homer Simpson (as late as you like—they’re open until 2 a.m.).
