Best hotpot place in NYC🍲

#Hotpot is trending this season due to the cold weather and there are many different restaurants serving different type of hotpots. The question is: Which place is the best that can offer a unique experience with great food choices? Over the weekend, my cousin and I went to brunch at #99 Favor Taste for their amazing hotpot. 

Pros: Served both hotpot and BBQ, authentic food & soup base options, featured two sauce stations with a variety of dipping sauce, free desserts (2 choices of tong sui), spacious setting with 2 floors, offer individual hotpot (optional choice to get a small individual pot instead of sharing a big pot with your group), accept reservations, friendly service and tech-savvy (earn points for free drinks and birthday freebies through the QR Code reader app).

We ordered fuzhou #fish balls (fish balls with meats inside), beef, quail eggs, lamb, crabs, squids, fish tofu, straw mushrooms, and other veggies.
In terms of sauce, I would recommend trying the seafood pancake sauce and chive sauce.

Oscars Popcorn Party 🏆 🌽

We've been all waiting for the Oscars Award show tonight. Let's gear up some yummy popcorn and enjoy the show with your friends and family. If anyone looking for some exotic #popcorn flavors check out #Popkarma in the lower east side. I went there with a friend yesterday and they have some great popcorn flavors. Personally, I am not a big fan of popcorn but these popcorn totally took my breath away...amazingly good:p  We tried the #cajun, #kyoto mix and the #caramel. My favorite is the cajun one and it's not as spicy as I thought. The kyoto one tastes like seaweed and the caramel is the only sweet one we got. So yeah we got spicy, salty and sweet popcorn all together:)
