There wasn’t as many people queuing up as I had imagined at Nanshan Zhu Guangyu! You must eat ice dumplings! 🌕

Address: 1st floor, No. 411, Hyde 2nd Road Environment/Facilities: Located next to Shanjie Hotpot, tickets can be picked up at around 9pm. Please refer to Figure 2. You will see that Shan Jie has to wait for more than 80 cars, while Zhu only has to wait for 6 cars. The whole shop is dominated by red and the lighting is bright. Because I was very hungry at that time, I chose the restaurant with less queue. Zhu Guangyu (hereinafter referred to as Zhu) went in, went up the stairs to the second floor and sat down. There was a friendly clerk who introduced us to Zhu's specialties with a smile, and told us that we could get free frozen glutinous rice balls after checking in. Attention! Your nose will be choked all the time, so be sure to prepare tissues. The ventilation system in the store is not very good. I've eaten other spicy hotpot restaurants, such as Shanjie and Nan Hotpot. They both made me want to sneeze at the beginning, but I usually get used to it within half an hour. But this time I left with a runny nose. Be patient and wait for the waiter, the service is not very enthusiastic. Quality of ingredients: The soup base is not bad. It's quite spicy, and the salty flavor is a little lacking, which complements the ingredients. "Beef tongue" It's thin, not refreshing, and has a soft texture. The beef tongue flavor is not strong. "Meat buns" There are 6 of them, not much filling inside, the wrapper is a little bit lacking in the sweetness of flour. I think the hot pot buns are worth a try if you are curious, but please estimate your appetite as the portion is quite large. "Goose intestines" The ice base was not covered, so the intestines themselves had no taste and were chewy and refreshing. 「Explosive Lemon Tea」 Put a big scoop of ice on the top of the cup, just right for checking in! But please note that if you order this cup of lemon tea, the store says the waiting time is long, so it is recommended to order it at the beginning! I waited about half an hour. "Iced Tangyuan" A must-order dish for Chongqing hotpot, the free ones are the best. The texture of the ice is very smooth, you won’t feel any crushed ice when biting into it, and the sweetness is moderate. If you feel it is too spicy, you can eat some ice glutinous rice balls, which can really relieve the spiciness. And ice doesn't melt easily, so you don't have to rush to eat it. Ice glutinous rice balls are not a dessert. Their main purpose is to relieve the spiciness. It is recommended to order them from the beginning. Summary: The price is above average, two people ordered three main dishes including the hot pot and the bill was $220. Normally at this price point in Shenzhen I would be 80% to 90% full, but this time I still felt a little hungry after eating, so I had to order more dishes! Price per person: $105 Rating 70/100 #Greater Bay Area Attractions
