Shoo Loong Kan Hotpot (小龙坎火锅), Lingnan Tiandi

Shoo Loong Kan Hotpot (小龙坎火锅), Lingnan Tiandi, is a branch of a Sichuan hotpot chain on the ground floor of Lingnan Tiandi Plaza, No. 2 Zumiao Street, in Chancheng District, Foshan, Guangdong Province. Sichuan hotpot is a spicy, numbing style built on a bubbling broth flavoured with chilli, Sichuan peppercorn and beef tallow, into which diners dip raw ingredients at the table. Although Foshan's own cooking is Cantonese and mild, hotpot chains from Sichuan and Chongqing are popular with local diners and visitors, especially for group meals. Listings show a cost of about CNY 94 per person. The signature offerings are spicy hotpot and beef and pork slices, cooked briefly in the broth. Typical additions include tripe, duck intestine, tofu, mushrooms, greens and noodles, and a divided pot lets diners pair a spicy side with a milder broth. As a chain, the restaurant follows a standardised format rather than a chef-led menu, so there is no Michelin recognition or lineage to report. The dining room is casual and lively, with tables of friends and families, and the scent of chilli and the noise level are high at peak times; dress is casual. Drinks include soft drinks, soy milk, sour plum juice and beer, and cold drinks help soften the heat. Guests can queue by taking a ticket through Dianping or Meituan, which is the standard way to manage waits at peak dinner hours, especially on weekends. Opening hours have not been verified. The location in Lingnan Tiandi, beside Zumiao Temple, makes it easy to combine with sightseeing in the heritage quarter. Travellers who dislike heat can request a mild or tomato broth or choose a divided pot, and ordering a few dishes at a time keeps the table manageable. Visitors with allergies should ask about broth ingredients, since tallow and peanut oil are common in Sichuan hotpot.
