Does anyone know his face???

On one of his videos you can kinda see his face through a reflection. 😂​@omgitsmatt3mdm117

@@omgitsmatt3mdm117 There are times the videographer is pretty clear in reflections of things like vending machines, but I don't think it's important :) They don't give their names/identities for a reason.

Nice Hotpot ending to 2024, as we look forward to more of the "Dancing Bacons" food adventures throughout Asia. All the best in 2025 from Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

[@NagappanaUsopp]

I light up with joy every time DancingBacons drops a new video. I've actually had hotpot before and it was pretty good. A friend of my mom's invited myself, my mom's friends, and my mom over to a Chinese restaurant that served hotpot, and that was the first time I tried it.

[@klippitykloppity]

Yet another great video. I appreciate your POV so much. The food you and your companion try, always looks so delicious and you make an effort to try as many different things on a menu as possible. Happy Holidays from New Zealand.

[@user-tl4wz9to2w]

I have waited all week for a new DB video. Worth it!

[@laifamily7804]

$76 is a steal....lobster, australian wagyu, a variety of mushrooms, so much food

[@SkiggsMoDiggs]

ikr, i wonder if the money translation is accurate. i feel like in the US, that whole thing would cost at LEAST $200

[@uzx151]

@@laifamily7804 if I got "Australian Wagyu" that looked like that I'd feel like something had been stolen from me.

[@MortemDeum]

@SkiggsMoDiggs No, it's about right. Exchange rate is ~8:1 CNY:USD, so Y550 should be around $80.

[@superlynnie]

​@SkiggsMoDiggs It's in China.

[@bigcritique1925]

nah, literally know a expensive hotpot buffet for $70+ USD(per person) that is all you can eat. though you still have to tip 15-20% cuz culture

[@ash-vn3el]

thank you Dancing Bacons for feeding us with these amazing videos its always lovely to see when you have posted a new video, have a lovely new year cant wait to see what new videos you have prepared for us

[@achilles8940]

Wow, such a lovely ending to 2024! Thank you so much for making content like this; it's super relaxing, and has definitely made my life lovely. This year with you both brought so much fun stuff! Stay happy and healthy through 2025.

I love these! And the smile on Ms. DancingBacon’s face is always the best. You can tell when she really likes something. I think she is the cutest.

[@SelmaWhite-s8q]

I really enjoy watching your videos, they always make me hungry.

🇨🇦 DancingBacons ... A culinary tour of Asia that this small town Canadian boy would never see otherwise ! Not just a KZbin video , an eye on the world from the comfort of my home . Thank you so very much and keep up the excellent work . Love these folks . ❤

[@Lukey-Dukey-AUS]

Thank you for the video.Happy New Year to everyone.🎉🎉

[@SecretAsianMan2222]

It's nice to see a new video from you! It's too bad about the audio changing constantly from wide and clear to muffled. Do you use the newest iphone that messes with the sound as you zoom in and out? If so, there's a setting to get it to stop doing that.

[@oBuLLzEyEo1013]

I love these two I am always on the look out for them...

Thought DB was gonna add every sauce to the bowl 😁 but everything looked yummy happy yall enjoyed y’all meal ❤

More DancingBacons yesssss. Good timing, about to eat

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Happy New Year to you and the lovely Mrs. Bacons! I don't know if y'all celebrate Christmas in Singapore, but I hope y'all had a very Merry Christmas anyway, and I look forward to seeing more food escapades from you and your darling other half in 2025!

[@elfodelputoinfierno]

DB really is out there eating everything I wish I had like, rn (in my bed, 2 am) Good for you two! Hope 2025 brings y'all to even more delicious adventures

[@AnniekinsMyshkamouse-r4j]

For once, I am eating something yummy while watching. I really enjoy that they like the premium items, yet savor the modest ones too. And shows you can dine very well on just the posts and a few extras. With the spicy hot pot, along with the dipping sauce I am curious if things end up tasting the same.

[@wdvd6822]

Yes, (for the spicy soup base) the added ingredients end up pretty much only distinguishable by color and in-mouth texture, the flavor is quite similar.

[@AnniekinsMyshkamouse-r4j]

@wdvd6822 Thank you. I would not have to worry because I cannot do hot spices like DancingBacons.. lol May you have a happy and prosperous New Year.

[@wdvd6822]

@@AnniekinsMyshkamouse-r4j Thanks. Happy New Year to you as well.

[@sandyquinn491]

I really enjoy your videos when you go hotpot and conveyor sushi and through the night markets. Thank you.

[@azanterose6526]

What a fantastic video ❤. I really want a hot pot now 😋. When I was younger, we ordered a hot pot from our local Chinese takeaway shop, we would get a clay hot pot with the food in it, then we would keep it, clean it & take it next time to get another hotpot from them to put more food in it. ❤ Hotpots are one of my favourite Asian foods.

[@EequalsMC2ed]

This is the perfect time for hot soups. Watching this made me so super hungry

[@williamwhite2113]

Hotpots are always interesting viewing in a Dancing Bacons video. Happy New Year!

[@TastySchu4]

You 2 are the cutest foodie couple out there 😉🫶.

[@michellevonsenden1306]

Happy New Year DancingBacons .... Hope we all will get to see new adventures

[@silverdragon7952]

Actually I like yam or potato inside hotpot. Stewed with broth just tastes really good.

[@valerieselau7384]

Awesome video and I really knew that was very premium is so expensive. I hope you have a wonderful New Year. 😊

[@SurgicFrag]

You cook the meal, they serve the raw ingredients - really good strategy at keeping costs down, you’re there for the service at the end of the day when you go to HaiDiLao

[@breadyegg]

Pro tip: instead of one bowl for the sauces with everything in it, use several and then you can have variety of flavours vs one blended mush!

[@tylers4854]

Thank you, DancingBacons, for giving us such great content each year. Happy holidays & new year from me and my wife ❤

[@enzoitgoes8335]

Simple is often better. A thing like a gnarly iron pot makes everything taste better. I’m in.

[@jmchau]

The presentation of the lobster was beautiful.

[@neptune3161]

i'm so used to all you can eat hotpot places that only charge for meat and drinks, so this premium pay-per-item stuff is really interesting!

[@Mikethemang]

are hot pots safe?

[@Dawn-he1rx]

You are so polite in what you take from the extra food bar. Small portions so everyone gets some. In some other countries they would have wiped it out in a second.

[@mom42boys]

I don't know where you live in the US but that's certainly not true where I am.

[@superlynnie]

This is an expensive place, so the clients are probably more accustomed to having things.

[@SpikoDreams]

This hotpot is to die for!

I love how Bacons is like "It is not a lot" while I'm thinking "This would feed me for a week".

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

I had lobster for Xmas dinner the other day. It was great. I love China.

[@xr6lad]

We had lobster tails and scallops for Christmas lunch. Cooked them ourselves at home.

[@michellevonsenden1306]

I wouldnt be wasting my gastric juices on any cheery tomato 😅 I definitely dont fill up on vegetables or carbs when theres lobster steak in the house

[@JanhaviPhadke-x1x]

Well...if u kept that mango slushy so near to the hotpot it wud bcm a mango drink😂.....loved ur videos ❤

[@Adonna2424]

I saw you mixing sauces and every time you added another one I thought surely he won't add more but I was wrong. 😅 I also love the idea of a split hot pot!

[@JWellsville]

So does a fermented tea contain alcohol

[@MurakamiTenshi]

Looks delicious, but I would be worried if the meat was fake

[@pkmnan00bis]

*Average Foodie:* Lobster and Wagyu is the best! *Bacons:* ... it's fine I guess. - munches on fish balls and ramen - Always appreciate your honesty

[@cassie.m.0723]

Everything looks so nice, except you get served instant noodles? For that price I would have wanted fresh noodles. The dried ones seem out of place with everything else

[@xazz]

$80 is a great value for all that food. That's $40 a person which is way less than you'd pay at other high end places here in the States!

[@cela-ho2hy]

Yes, it is. And it is also true that in China the salary is much less than yours. So just because this food is cheap for you doesn't mean it is cheap for the locals.

[@xazz]

@@cela-ho2hy I don't know why you're arguing with me? I'm saying its a great value

[@matthewsykes4814]

I am very curious and puzzled as the dining experience is very different to what I am used to. Hmmm I should ask my local takeaway if they could cook me something traditional rather than the usual just to find out.....

[@melissahoward8038]
