It looked nothing like the one in Manhattan . It really felt like I was in Taiwan , Hong Kong or China , not that I ' ve been to those places , but it did n't feel like America . My friend took me to a hot pot place ( also known as steamboat in Singapore ) .

Question: Why did they go to a hot pot place ?
Answer: To feel like they were having an American meal in a strange country .None of the above choices .The wanted an experience similar to what is found in Manhattan .They wanted food like you can get in Singapore .
