For dinner, you can have the Famous Sichuan Hotpot. Hotpot is the famous and favorite dish in Sichuan. It is noted for its peppery and hot taste. Customers gather around a small pot heated with charcoal, electricity, or gas. Each pot is filled with a nutritious soup. Around the wok are placed a dozen plates of paper-thin slice of raw meat and other ingredients. The customers pick up the raw ingredients and boil them in the soup.
