Hong Kong hot pot, daa bin lou, puts a boiling pot of soup in the middle of the table, and everyone cooks their own beef, seafood, fish balls, tofu and vegetables in it.

In China the bronze pots of Zhou dynasty nobles may be the earliest prototypes of hot pot, and a copper pot of the Three Kingdoms period is generally held to be its origin. In Hong Kong it is called daa bin lou, and everyone at the table is a chef, boiling beef, pork, chicken, crab, prawns, clams, Chinese cabbage, fish balls, beef balls and tofu in a shared pot of soup. It is most common in the cold winter months, when people huddle around the fire, usually with a bottle of cold beer or soda.
