Sichuan "Ma La" steamboat.
If you don't know what steamboat is, its typically a pot of broth, simmering in the middle of the dining table, that you cook while you eat. Kinda like fondue.
Now, substitute the simmering yummy chicken/meat broth, with tongue numbing (actually... "Ma La" means "Numb Spicy") hot sauce.
boil all your food in this....mmmm...
They do have this wonderful herb tea at these restaurants though, that cool the fire thats burning in your mouth. Thats good business, if you ask me. First they sell you the poison, then they sell you the antidote....
