    Wednesday 08th September, 2010 Travel The Island Page 5 FFeeleel SriSri Lanka...Lanka... Sizzling Shanghai Hot Pot Promotion at Cinnamon Grand Imagine a sizzling hot pot placed in front of you with the opportu- nity to create a feast of flavours from an assortment of imported items! The Cinnamon Grand brings you this one-of-a-kind experi- ence with its Shanghai Hot Pot Promotion held from the 9th to the 19th of September at The Courtyard. Toss in seasoned meats sliced to perfection and fresh seafood into a simmering broth brimming with aromatic herbs and exotic vegetables. At just Rs. 1250/-+++, this unique hands-on promotion gives patrons a taste of distant Shanghai, right here in Colombo. The hot pot cooking method is simple but results in an abundance of flavour and taste, according to the various spices, sauces, oils and condiments used. Frozen meat is sliced deli-thin to prepare it for hot pot cooking. Slicing frozen meat this way causes it to roll up during cooking, and it is often presented as such. Meat or vegetables are loaded individually into the hot cooking broth by chopsticks, and cooking time is brief. Meat often only takes 15 to 30 seconds to cook. Guests can place items into the hot pot at a relaxed, leisurely pace, enjoying the cooking process, or throw everything in at once and wait for the hotpot to return to a boil. The Chinese hot pot boasts a history of more than 1000 years. Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty.
