Trivia
[For Adults] Named 'Sand Pot (Shaguo)' because sand mixed in clay makes it heat-resistant (hard to crack). Any dish named 'Sanbei~' at Taiwanese Re Chao is always served bubbling loudly in this black (or brown) clay pot. Just serving directly in this instead of a plate at home triples the visual/auditory 'deliciousness'.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] On a cold winter night, gather around 'Ma You Ji (Black sesame chicken pot)' simmered piping hot in this Shaguo, huffing and puffing to drink it all before the soup cools!
