I was told that the sesame paste was freshly ground. Are you kidding me?!

Winter is the season for hotpot, especially mutton, which is warm and nourishing. 🔥 So I chose this Beijing hotpot restaurant to meet up with my friends. 🍲 The main reason is that it is close to Maikaile and Yan'erdao Road subway station. 🚇 It is convenient to get there. On the first floor, you can see the chef trimming the whole lamb, which doesn't look very fresh. The color is dark and light. 👨🏻‍🍳 I asked the chef and realized that I was ignorant: The mutton is directly transported from the place of origin, without any technology. The color of the oxidized part in the air will become darker. 🔴 When I ate it, I tasted it carefully. It was fresh and had a little milky taste unique to lamb. I ordered several kinds of mutton, including Ningxia Tan sheep, fresh mutton, classic mutton, and lamb sword... Although they are all mutton, each one tastes different, which is rare. 🐏 I was a little surprised when I was preparing the sauce. It's already 2024. The waiter said that the sesame paste should be freshly ground?! And it's not the 80/20 sauce I usually eat. There is no peanut butter, only pure sesame. 🥜 If you taste it carefully, there is a slight mustard flavor. Is this the Beijing hotpot I often eat? Another magical experience. 🪄
