"Round up the group chat, slide into a leather booth, and pile the table high at party-ready Hotto Potto, a Sichuan restaurant in Aldgate. Kick things off with grilled cumin lamb, steamed dumplings and the signature special mix platter. The must-order hot pot? Try black beef tripe, beef aorta, and braised chitterlings in a fiery beef tallow broth. Afterwards, head downstairs to the high-tech KTV disco." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
