ShuDaXia Hogo

«ShuDaXia Hogo» is a Chinese cuisine café on Vasilyevsky Island, on Sredny Prospekt V.O. The establishment specializes in Asian cuisine and offers guests hotpot (hogo) — a dish that can be cooked by yourself right at your table. The idea of hotpot is simple: broth is served at the table, which needs to be brought to a boil, along with a separate set of ingredients for cooking. The menu features both spicy and non-spicy broths, so you can choose an option according to your taste preferences and spice tolerance. Available ingredients for hotpot include mushrooms, shrimp, and meat. Guests put together their own set of ingredients to cook in the broth — this allows everyone to customize the dish, adjusting the composition and quantity of components. The hotpot format turns lunch or dinner at the café into a small cooking process, where the guest controls what ends up on the table and in what form. This approach suits those who want to try a classic Chinese dish while also taking part in creating it, rather than simply ordering a ready-made dish from the menu.
