- Allows spicy lovers and haters to enjoy meals together around the same pot.
- Flavors don't mix, so dipping meat in spicy and seafood in light broth depending on the ingredient is the connoisseur's way.

Trivia
[For Adults] 'Yuan Yang (Mandarin duck)' symbolizes 'two different things harmoniously together as one' as the male/female pair are always together. This pot shape is often default at Taiwanese hot pot shops. Just placing this S-divided pot in the center of the table instantly creates a Taiwanese restaurant vibe for home hot pot parties.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Deliberately 'shabu-shabu' meat simmered in super-spicy Mala broth into the adjacent light broth to wash off the heat making it milder—a rogue technique!
