Woman In China Gets Trapped In Hot Pot Restaurant For 3 Days, Eats Unlimited Hot Pot For Free

The Covid-19 infection is still going strong all over the world.

China’s approach has always been quite strict and when a new case is detected, they would immediately close down places that the infected person have visited before, even if there are people inside.

Here is an account of a person who stayed in a Shanghai mall for 2 days. 

On 18 March, a woman named Wang was having dinner with 4 other friends at a hotpot restaurant after their work at about 10.30pm, according to Wu Tong video.

3 of those friends left when they finished their meal while Wang stayed back with another friend as she did not meet them for a long time and wanted to catch up.

After chatting for more than 20 minutes, they paid the bill and went downstairs to exit the building.

However, they were stopped from doing so as a new case was just detected and the positive person had visited the hotpot restaurant before.

Including Wang and her friend, there were more than 10 staff members and 30-40 customers who were stuck in the hotpot restaurant.

Fortunately, the owner of the restaurant was very accommodating and kind-hearted as he allowed all the customers in the store to order the hotpot for free!

In addition to that, they also gave out free suppers at 3am in the morning and free lunches as well.

Although it is certainly a very nice experience (minus the Covid-19 scare), Wang says,

“I’ve been eating hot pot for 3 days now and I don’t think we can eat it anymore. This is a very surreal experience.”

It definitely sounds like one on our side too! What do you think of this experience? Let us know in the comments.
