 “Hot Pot” Austin, 2025

Last night, we tried a new all-you-can-eat hot pot restaurant, Happy Lamb. They offer two tiers of meat. The regular level looked good, but the higher level was only $5 more per person and included premium cuts like wagyu beef and ribeye, so we upgraded. The selection of vegetables and seafood was also impressive, and both broths we chose were delicious, though I especially enjoyed the spicy one.

I’d definitely recommend Happy Lamb. It’s delicious, and the all-you-can-eat dinner is reasonably priced at $29/$34 per person.

 “Chinese Dinner” Cedar Park, 2022

For the second night in a row, I have enjoyed some leftovers that Mariko brought home from a friend’s party. The Chinese dishes are from Bamboo House Austin 竹苑 and are so good! I love the cumin beef… it’s similar to toothpick cumin lamb, but many people don’t like lamb, so this is a good option.

I also recommend the spicy fish (not pictured), which has a good amount of heat and Sichuan pepper for that mala flavor. It’s great if you like spicy food!
