5. Lucky Sheep Hot Pot
Started from humble beginnings, this restaurant has quickly grown to be one of the favourite Mongolian-inspired hot pot spots in Jakarta, that comes with five types of broth: House Special Original, House Special Spicy Mala, Half Half (Original and Spicy Mala), House Special Cooling and Half Half (Cooling and Spicy Mala). For the ‘not-so-spicy souls, we recommend going for a pot of half and half to neutralise the epic burst of heat. Little Sheep provides an array of fresh and quality meat and veggies to go into your shared pot, we recommend one of their top choices, the lamb shoulder, thinly sliced to perfection. You also get to choose a wide variety of condiments to make your pot of soup even more flavourful then it already is – think garlic, chilli oil, coriander leaves, sesame oil and much more.
