The Melting Pot +1

Kiy Kat has been wanting to go to this restaurant The Melting Pot for a few years. This year we planned to make that happen for her birthday. We agreed to allow Kit Kat to invite her two best friends along for the ride. Momoko and I decided to foot the bill for the extravaganza. Now I told Kit Kat to find out where the place was located, their hours, and make sure they were still in business.

On the day of the event, Kit Kat had got directions to the place. But she did not make contact with them. Momoko then found out at the last minute that we needed reservations! Kit Kat was at an event at her friend's college. Momoko got through and told Kit Kat to make reservations. Turns out they only had really early or really late openings. We opted for really early since Kit Kat was having a party at our house at night.

We got to the place and met Kit Kat there. There was not that much parking. It was difficult to find the entrance to the building. We got a large booth in the back and decided on our orders. We started out with two kinds of chesse fondue. I found that I liked dipping raw broccoli in it. Kit Kat liked this dark bread. Little Kat seemed to eat the most. Momoko was concerned that she could only reach one of the fondue pots from her seat.

The real deal happened during the entree portion of dinner. We each ordered our meats and seafood. It arrived raw. We then used skewers to put the food in the boiling oil. We dumped all the raw veggies in the oil. I loved the mushrooms. My big steaks took a while to cook through.

Just when I thought the best part of the meal was over, we got dessert. There was warm dark and white chocolate to dip things into. These things were cheesecake, rice crispy treats, marshmellows, strawberries, and other small treats. We had to ask for more treats as there was a lot of chocolate. Everyone was stuffed by the time we got out of there.

Back at home, Kit Kat and friends brought some snacks from the store. Then the boys started to arrive. I took a nap. Normally I kick the boys out at midnight. However they got a late start due to the lengthy dinner at The Melting Pot. So I let the boys stay until a little after 1 am. Then it was time for all to sleep. The girls spent the night in Kit Kat's room.
