It's a small store, neat and very tidy, with limited, but well balanced stock. If you crave hot pot you can find everything you need for it here. HaiDiLao and Little Sheep soup bases. Authentic hot pot sauces (they don't have the HaiDiLao sauces though). Tofu skin, fresh tofu, Enoki mushrooms (see you tomorrow ????), some fresh veggies. The only thing I missed are fresh hot pot noodles, but they are easy enough to make at home.
One thing they have, which I haven't found at any other Asian market in Europe so far, are frozen 灌湯小笼包 (soup inside xiaolongbao). They aren't as good as homemade ones, but if you want them quick you can't beat them. I am certainly too lazy to make them fresh, so... Oh, how I miss good fresh 小笼包 here in Europe. Sichuan food everywhere, Shanghai food on the other hand is so rare.
