"On the left is the non-spicy seafood sauce section: the aroma of freshness hits your nose as soon as it's served. The fish is soaked in the sweet fragrance of seafood sauce, so tender it trembles when you pick it up with chopsticks. My child immediately started gnawing on the fish belly, even chewing the lotus root slices soaked in the sauce with a satisfying crunch, exclaiming, 'Mom, this is even better than what you get at restaurants!'—the seafood sauce gives the vegetables a subtle sweetness, light yet not bland at all. My child even ate rice faster than usual. On the right is our spicy dry pot section: the aroma of the dry pot ingredients fills the kitchen as soon as the sauce is poured on. The fish skin is grilled until slightly crispy, bursting with juice with every bite when coated in spicy oil. Even the celery stalks are infused with the spicy fragrance, becoming more flavorful the longer they cook. In the end, even the last bit of sauce at the bottom of the pot..." It had to be poured over rice and polished clean. The moment this pot of fish was served, the kids on the left exclaimed, "Mmm, this is so tender!" while we on the right were shouting, "Wow, this is so spicy and delicious!" The divider clearly separated the flavors; some were tender, some were fragrant. Even the usually picky kid devoured the lotus root slices. We used a special grill pan for fish that can be heated directly. It bubbled and steamed as soon as the flame was turned on, making it incredibly satisfying to eat and cook at the same time—the kids on the left were plucking at the tender, seafood-flavored fish, while we on the right were enjoying the juicy, spicy pieces of fish, taking a sip of wine, the spicy aroma mingling with the wine's fragrance, enveloped in the warmth—it was so addictive! If you don't have this special pan, a small alcohol stove with a regular grill pan works just as well, filling the air with a smoky, hearty atmosphere. Life is just too good!
