About
Who I am, in my own words.
Cheng grew up two doors down from the oldest hot-pot house in Jiangbei. He spent four years apprenticing in three different kitchens before hosting. He'll get you to the spice your palate actually wants — not the spice the menu shows.
What I'll show you
Three things,
no filler.
01
Four hot-pot houses in one paced night
02
Dawn at the wholesalers' floating market
03
Bang Bang noodle pickup pre-dawn
