A: how about some dumplings? I just can’t get enough of them.

R: dumplings again?! Oh, Amy, let’s try something new!

A: well, what do you have in mind?

R: how about the Mongolian hot pot?

A: oh, it’s too spicy for me. Don’t you remember last time when I tasted the lamb? It was so spicy my eyes teared up!

R: maybe we can try "Yuanyang pot" this time. You can choose the non-spicy soup base.

A: sounds great. Do they serve noodles? I am in the mood for some tasty noodles as well.

R: wait a minute. Let me throw on a sweater
