Anyone familiar with Hu Hot?



Recommended Posts

There's a new Mongolian grill in town called Hu Hot. Anyone familiar with it? I glanced at their menu online and it seems ok. I was just wondering if anyone had been there. If so, what ingredients do you choose?

I don't even consider eating out. For no other reason than I have a hard time just sitting with nothing to do while others want to eat and drink without someone already to go. Now, if I could contain myself with wine I'd be a happy camper!

Love it!!! I haven't eaten there since I got my sleeve, but I am only 2 weeks out. It is really good stuff and there are plenty of healthy options. You can go very low carb, by excluding the noodles from your bowl. :) You of course won't get what you pay for, because you can't eat enough. Ha ha.

I would find it challenging to eat at a Mongolian grill because of the noodles. I would think you would want enough solid food experience behind you before attempting sans noodle. The reason is because if you do not use noodles then you are going to need to substitute veggies. And veggies are challenging to eat until quite a few months out, at least that is the way it was for me. I would stick to Orkney, chicken and seafood and skip the beef. Beef is hard to eat unless you have experience with it for a while. It was 6 months before I could eat beef comfortable. Now the other thing to consider is quantity as you are going to be able to only eat 3-4 ounces where normally one would fill up 1-2 bowls for a heaping plate some Mongolian food places make you eat everything in the dining area. If this is the case, it wouldn't be cost effective at all in my opinion. You should be able to add veggies into the mix if you are comfortable with eating them. Be sure to load up on the Protein though because you want to eat that before the veggies. Be very conservative with the sauces you use because most of them are high calorie,except perhaps garlic Water or sauces like that. Good luck!

Actually at Hu Hot it isn't challenging at all. You decide what you want, and the amount you want. Just use more meat and veggies. I went there a few times eating low carb, and you just skip the noodles! Once upon a time, I even knew what sauces were the healthiest and lowest in carbs, but I have forgotten. I vaguely remember that their teriyaki was low carb.

Thanks for the input y'all! I think I'm gonna give it a try. My NUT is ok with carbs and calories as long as I stay under 20 grams of fat per day and get my necessary Protein. The awesome thing about their online menu is that you can build a bowl of the ingredients you want and it gives you the nutrition info. The one I built was14 grams of protein, 4 grams of fat, 11 carbs, 194 calories, and 4 grams of sugar...and that's including noodles. Not too shabby I guess.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
