HotPot Story: Malatang Shop

A tiny malatang shop behind a single noren curtain. That's your shop.

Stock the shelves, and customers pick their favorite ingredients and dig in at their seats. Spend your earnings on tables and rooms until both floors are packed and the whole town is lining up.

Glass noodles, bok choy, tofu, mushrooms, fish balls, beef, napa cabbage, quail eggs, shrimp, lamb. As your shop grows, crab balls, tofu skin, snow fungus, and bunmoja join the shelves.
