A Flavor‑Packed Hotpot Experience with Nine‑Grid Platters and Exceptional Service in Shenzhen

Recently, more and more hotpot restaurants in Shenzhen have started serving ingredients in these eye-catching nine-grid platters.

Yeah Gelato in Dongmen: Smooth Pistachio Flavor & Holiday Deal Review

I finally got to try Yeah Gelato! To be honest, I’d been seeing this ice cream brand advertised all over Shenzhen for quite a while.

Without any discounts, a single serving can cost around ¥38 , which is pretty wild considering that it’s already getting close to the price of some luxury ice cream brands.So I never really got around to trying it.
