I’ve never got it, it started out many years ago as a ‘it’s winter, you need to eat hotpot’ to like now they’ve a zillion hotpot chains serving all year, cheap, low quality fare.
I still have a dream, a dream deeply rooted in the Taiwanese tradition – one day this island nation will rise up and live up to its hot pot eating creed, “We hold these truths to be self evident: that foreigners (and SEA part time workers) are created equal and should have access to pots that are hot.” I have a dream
In Taiwan they don’t let us eat. In America we kick their asses and tell them to leave the country even though they were born there…this is mild but I know…for a fact…Asians are in a lot more danger in western counties now than we are here in taiwan.
