Eating shabu-shabu in a copper pot 銅鍋涮肉 is Eating shabu-shabu in a copper pot 銅鍋涮肉 is a popular choice in Beijing when the season Fall is just around the corner! Besides, it’s quick and perfect for group gathering.🤗 The origin of hot pot is unclear. One of the most popular stories is related to Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty. According to folklore, Kublai Khan led his army southward. One day, he craved for a dish from his hometown - lamb stew, so ordered his chef to start making it. When the chef was still in the middle of cooking, the enemy started to approach. The chef improvised and cut off a few thin slices of meat, stirred them a few times in boiling water, sprinkled with salt, and served immediately. After having a few servings of the lamb slices, Kublai Khan went on to the battle field and won. 相傳，當年忽必烈統帥大軍南下。一日，人困馬乏飢腸轆轆，猛想起家鄉的菜餚——清燉羊肉，立即吩咐部下殺羊燒火。正當伙夫宰羊割肉時，發現有敵情。廚師知道他正想吃羊肉，於是急中生智，飛刀切下十多片薄肉，放在沸水里攪拌幾下，待肉色一變，馬上撈入碗中，撒下細鹽。忽必烈連吃幾碗，翻身上馬迎敵，獲得勝利。 在籌辦慶功酒宴時，忽必烈特意再點那道羊肉片，一高興就賜名為「涮羊肉」！ Donglaishun, founded in 1903, is one of the most famous copper pot shabu-shabu restaurants in Beijing. Their speciality, the traditional lamb shabu-shabu, was acknowledged as intangible cultural heritage in 2008. They are known for serving different cuts of lamb and all is tender, smooth and refreshing, with typical sesame dipping sauce. Their copper pots are all cloisonné pots using enamel filigree technology, which are particularly beautiful! 東來順是北京城最有名的銅鍋涮肉之一，始建於1903年，拿手的便是這傳統涮羊肉，嫩滑爽口，調料地道，京城一絕，並且現在的銅鍋都是用了琺瑯掐絲技術的景泰藍鍋子，特別好看！ . . . #travelgram #lategram #travellingwithfriends #beijing #hotpot #yum
