Uncle Fong Hot Pot Restaurant is a popular hotpot chain hailing from Hong Kong, famous for their authentic Chongqing hotpot that’s made from scratch from 5 premium spices and ingredients: Chongqing Shizhuhong Chilli, Sichuan Hanyuan Pepper, Beef Tallow, Sichuan Pixian Bean Paste and Yellow Ginger for a super fragrant and punchy broth. The only downside? Smelling like all those spices once you walk out of the restaurant.

But don’t worry: what’s special about Uncle Fong is that they’ve got a unique “shower” machine stationed at the entrance of the restaurant, so you can “wash” away the mala smell before you leave! No, you won’t be taking an actual shower with soap and water—the machine lets you take an “air shower” instead. Simply wave your hand over the sensor, stand in front of the machine and make a full 360-degree turn as the mist is released to get rid of the mala smell completely!
