It is so so so awesome to have hot pot during winter with extreme cold weather. Try out this authentic Macau hot pot restaurant – Dolar shop. Personally I love the atmosphere in the restaurant; the environment here is quiet, and comfortable. One thing I like about this restaurant is each of the diner has a small pot and self-help sauce, for hygiene purpose as I don’t have to share with others on a big like most of hot pot restaurant did. The vegetables, meat, shrimps, and many other materials are all served in delicate vessels. Average cost per person: CNY 80 – 140
