Spicy Hotpot - Mawaleh South - Pretty Delicious!
Just a heads up about this restaurant that serves hotpot in Mawaleh South in the new strip mall behind Al Ain Gift Market and on the 2nd floor. I went a few days back and was pleasantly surprised, but wish it were more like the hot pot restaurants in the far east - you don't have the at table pots to cook it on.
So you select your veg / noodles / meats (mostly seafood options and chicken, I didn't see beef the day I went). You place them in a big bowl, tell them the degree of spiciness and if you want to add peanut / sesame sauce to the broth. It's charged by the KG (I think about 6 OMR per kg). They take the bowl and boil in the broth in the back and bring it to your table for you. Ambiance of the place is bright white so didn't suit me in that aspect but overall it was a delicious pot nonetheless. For two, we had a kg of soup fillings, ate and had half of it left to take home. I recommend if you're in a party of 2+ to just make your own selection in a separate bowl each!
