A Flavor‑Packed Hotpot Experience with Nine‑Grid Platters and Exceptional Service in Shenzhen

This was my first time seeing a hotpot restaurant offering such an incredibly rich variety of ingredients. We ordered the clear broth pot, which came with mushrooms, tomatoes, and cucumber. It looked so appetizing the moment it arrived. Although this restaurant is known for its traditional spicy hotpot, the clear broth turned out to be surprisingly delicious as well.

Braised Goose Hotpot in Chegongmiao — A Must‑Try Winter Comfort Food in Shenzhen

Hotpot is so famous in China that it expands wildly into different ingredients. It was my first time hearing that braised stock could be used as a hotpot base, so I came to try it immediately. Goose is already a fantastic choice for winter nourishment, but enjoying it in a hotpot made with rich braising sauce was truly next‑level.

Mr. Wildman Ice Cream in Dongmen: Smooth Pistachio Flavor & Holiday Deal Review

Cheryl Kong | 2026-05-08

I finally got to try Mr. Wildman’s ice cream ! The reason why it is 'famous', is the price. If you don't use any discount, one ice cream can cost you 38 RMB, which is wild because is about the same price as those luxury ice cream brand.

There was a special promotion during the May Day holiday, and you could get it for just 0.01 yuan, so of course I grabbed the deal right away 😜

There are so many brances in Shenzhen, so I visited the branch located inside Sun Department Store in Dongmen. They open at 10:00 AM, so make sure you don’t arrive too early.

There were several flavors to choose from: mango, rice, and pistachio. I tried the pistachio flavor in a cup. The staff sprinkled pistachio powder on top and even gave me a round paper pad to catch the crumbs.

The ice cream was incredibly smooth and creamy, and the nutty bits added a great texture. The sweetness was light and refreshing, not heavy at all.

No wonder this ice cream brand is so popular 🔥 I’m really curious about the rice flavor. I’ll definitely come back to try it next time.
