Chongqing: the capital of the hot pot and pretty girls

Chongqing: the capital of the hot pot and pretty girls

Chongqing is one of the largest cities in China and its metropolitan population according to different sources is 5 to 7.5 million people (2010).

If I had to choose just one word to describe Chongqing, it would be “spicy”. This is due to the fact that Chongqing is famous for its culinary specialty – hotpot … and spicy, beautiful girls!

Many believe that Chinese stew originates from this area where it was popular with boatmen working on the Yangtze River. From here it spread to Sichuan and other neighboring districts and then made its way to the rest of China.

Today you can find many restaurants in China and around the world that serve this dish with an unforgettable spicy flavor. Generally speaking, it consists of a broth filled with chili and other spices and many different complementary dishes (meat, poultry, vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, etc.) that are dipped in the hot soup and kept in it for a while before take them out and consummate.

Because of the way the hot pot is eaten, it is more than just food, it is the social event: the pot with the broth is placed in the middle of the table with coals (or electric unit under its bottom) constantly heating its content. and diners are seated from time to time grabbing a piece of meat or vegetables from the pot with their chopsticks.

And I don’t know of a better place to enjoy the authentic flavor of the stew than Chongqing, which has thousands of places ready to serve you this wonderful dish. But it is not just a specialty for tourists. Chongqing residents themselves are crazy about stews. Although you may find streets with few hot pot restaurants side by side, they will never be empty.

I remember how a friend of mine returned home after spending time in another province. He immediately called me and other mutual friends and arranged a meeting at the hot pot restaurant. As she sat there, she shared that on her way back there was only one thought in her head: what kind of dishes would she order for her stew …

But there is one more thing that makes Chongqing famous: its beautiful girls. Many people (both Chinese and foreign) are willing to attest that the most beautiful Chinese girls come from Chongqing. There is a joke that married men who come to Chongqing start to regret getting married.

Perhaps the reason for a high concentration of beauties here is the high humidity and characteristic mist that prevents girls’ skin from being exposed to the sun and dry air. Or maybe it’s the spicy food that “burns” fat and improves blood circulation. Whatever the reason, Chongqing girls boast that they can eat a lot of stew without any danger to their slim figures.

Also, the temperament of Chongqing girls is often compared to the spiciness of the hot pot. Funny and outspoken, they are easy to show their temperament, but they are also known to be loyal to family and friends. If you fall in love with a Chongqing girl, it is as incurable as falling in love with a stew.

If you visit Chongqing, head to its central boulevard. We guarantee that you will have a delicious experience, whether it is eating stew or watching the beautiful girls go by.
