In line with the owner Zhao Guanheng's objective of making fresh seafood and premium ingredients affordable for the masses, Having Luck Hotpot's huajiao ji broth, which includes a whole chicken and 100 grams of fish maw, is priced at a modest 288 yuan ($41.5).

Apart from the popular broth and the standard hotpot accompaniments, the restaurant also offers innovative dishes such as house-made balls containing foie gras and beef, as well as crispy cheese sausage options, both of which pair well with their soup bases.

Another ideal accompaniment to the huajiao ji broth is the humble rice. Most diners like adding cooked rice to the soup at the end of the meal to create what is called "golden soaked rice", a mushy mixture that goes well with diced mushrooms and Cantonese-style cured sausages.
