Meat is usually cooked in plain water or softly seasoned stock, with ginger, scallions and berries. Basically, all old-fashioned Beijing hotpot cafés will offer the sesame-based hot sauce Zhīmajiàng, which tastes to some degree like the Tahini sauce. In the south of Hong Kong, Zhīmajiàng is fairly less normal. In spite of the fact that it usually depends upon one's personal tastes, what one regards the 'best' hotpot varies vastly. Some may find that the fish head hotpot or meat hotpot from Northeast is the best, others might be put off by it. When dining in Hong Kong, look to places like Dorsett Mongkok for the best local flavours in hotpots.
