  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is Round Table.

  • You're listening to Round Table.

  • I'm Nian Honglin, joined by Ding Heng and Brendan Yeats.

  • Coming up, who knew hot pot could go on a diet?

  • Welcome to the world of mini hot pots, where the pots are small, but the flavors are as bold as ever.

  • Think of it as hot Pot's younger 20th sibling, who's obsessed with efficiency, loves conveyor belts, and has an eye for the Instagrammable.

  • But are these mini meals a game changer or just a passing fad?

  • Grab your chopsticks and let's find out.

  • And emerging research suggests that prolonged sitting poses significant health risks, risks from cardiovascular disease to increased stress.

  • Today, we will examine the scientific findings on the dangers of sitting too long and explore practical interventions to mitigate these risks.

  • But now, hotpot has always been about bringing people together.

  • But what happens when you take that communal experience and tailor it to the individual?

  • Enter the mini pot, a symbol of how innovation can breathe new life into tradition.

  • Yeah, because as the name suggests, I guess the core value, let's put it this way, the core value of mini hotspots really lies in its small size.

  • Because compared to those traditional hot pot restaurants where everybody shares a large pot, small or mini hot pot features smaller pots catering to individual use.

  • Basically, you're catering people who are willing to having hot pot alone.

  • Somebody like me, like me personally, is a big fan of eating hot pot alone at home.

  • But, you know, if you use a very big traditional pot, that's really a waste of energy, a waste of soup and a water.

  • So, yeah, a smaller sized pot is more economical.
