.ch3rieberry*.: Day & Night Angus Beef Hot Pot *.

😻 Happy 35th Anniversary to M&D!! 😻

My sis and I treated M&D to Day & Night Angus Beef Hot Pot for dinner, for their 35th anniversary!! It was all a surprise event and we even got P and V into it haha. The surprise element was worthyyy ;)

We heard a lot of good things about this place, the quality of food and service, so we decided to give it a try!

Service was excellent. Our server was very friendly and did a great job portioning the amount of food. We came at around 6:30 pm and was very surprised to see a lot of empty tables, only one or two tables were taken. There is a sauce-bar close to the front of the restaurant for you to create your own dipping sauce. I chose a few items but I didn't really use the sauce throughout the night because the original seafood items were fresh and didn't need any additional flavour, or else it would've cover the freshness of the taste!

We ordered Combo B ($96 or $75 per person depending on if you're paying in cash or on card).

How it works:

It is similar to your traditional hot pot except everything is steamed. Your assigned server will cook the meal for you. Each item of your meal has a set timer. Once the food is cooked, the steamer would beep and your server would distribute the food for you.

BROTH BASE

😻 They cook the broth and foods for you 😻

* CONGEE (5/5)

I'd highly recommend choosing "Congee / Porridge" as the broth base. This broth is an additional $10 but I thought this was the best part of the meal! The congee absorbs everything that has been cooking in your steamer throughout the night so it becomes super flavourful. I usually haaate congee and I'm giving this a 5/5..!! I associate congee as to being sick lol "childhood memories".

APPETIZERS

* Grilled U.S. Certified Angus Beef kebab (4/5)
The beef was delicious! Very tender :)

* Grilled Spain Iberico Pork kebab (5/5)
What is thisss!? SO yummy! Its texture tasted like the meat from the pork's neck area. It's chewy and delicious.

SEAFOOD

* Canadian PEI Lobster

* Vancouver Jumbo Clam

(They weren't kidding about "jumbo" because the clam meat was actually pretty big haha).

* Canadian Fresh Oyster

* Saltspring Mussel

* Vietnamese Cuttlefish

* Chicken

SEAFOOD HIGHLIGHTS

My favourites from the seafood choices were the lobster, clams and oysters. They were all very fresh and delicious! Steamed oysters tastes exactly like raw oysters (or maybe it's because they didn't cook it for that long, but my dad insisted they were fully cooked haha). Mussels were mediocre and the cuttlefishes were fresh, but had barely any taste. The cuttlefishes were the only seafood item that we needed to dip extra sauce for.
