Xianlongjing focuses on hot pot parks, while Ba Bao hot is hot pot villas. The whole hot pot restaurant is like a private villa hidden in the depths of Nanshan, pushing open the heavy wooden door, you will see several antique mansions, wooden buildings with gray tiles, flying eaves and corners, quite the style of a large family in ancient times.

The red soup pot is fried with Guizhou pepper, Hebei pepper and Maowen pepper, and is divided into three kinds according to the amount of butter, including 68 yuan small pot, 88 yuan large pot and 128 yuan gold medal pot. Hebei pepper is bright red in color, which is used to brighten the color of the soup at the bottom of the pot; Guizhou pepper is not as spicy as Chaotian pepper, and the soup base is fragrant but not spicy. The slight disadvantage is that the spiciness cannot hide the saltiness after the spiciness is reduced, and the soup base will become salty after boiling for a long time on high heat, so it is best to slow cook it over low heat or remind the waiter to add the soup in time. In addition to butter red pot, the store also serves a rare clear oil pot in Chongqing, which is based on vegetable oil, which is softer than butter pot and less mellow than the former.

Although the variety of ingredients is not as rich as that of Xianlongjing hot pot, the quality is also not bad. Lupai buffalo tripe is made of fresh buffalo tripe, with thick leaves, rough surface, and full of toughness in the mouth.

The secret crispy meat is also a representative dish of Ba Bao hot, using the white fascia part connected to the back meat of the pig, that is, the "plate tendon meat" often said in the southwest region, because the white fascia contains many thick tendons, so the taste of the plate tendon meat is quite crispy.

The staff in the store are warm and attentive, and they know the dishes in detail, and customers' questions can be answered. At present, there are many branches in Chongqing, and the level of dishes between the branches is uneven, if you want to experience the style of hot pot villa, it is best to go to the Nanshan main store to eat. The origin of Chongqing hot pot is still full of controversy, and the two widely circulated theories are that they came from Jiangbei retail sellers and Chaotianmen dock workers, while Ba Bao Hot is unique and calls itself "Lu Pai hot pot". However, the origin of Lupai hot pot has not been verified, and there is a slight suspicion of business momentum, and diners abandon the story and simply taste the food.
