(via) Qimin is a sleekly designed hot pot restaurant in Shanghai. The interior by Hot Dog Decor sees an open kitchen bar and partly enclosed dining/drinking area for more privacy. The beams in the facade are reclaimed, as are the hexagonal floor tiles. The table tops are fashioned from old floor boards, and the granite comes from a local quarry. To complete the picture, Qimin’s menu highlights locally-produced organic vegetables and meats, which is to say it would fit Vancouver snugly. We think it would gel especially well at the base of one of the new, breathtakingly inappropriate towers in Chinatown, partly as a means to further preserve and promote Chinese culture thereabouts (where it’s currently on the back foot), and partly because hot pot using locally sourced organic ingredients sounds awesome.
