Cheng argues, "Our customers have got a lot younger over the past two years and hot chili sales are soaring in the wholesale market. People are turning to spicier food, and with the revival of authentic Szechwanese cuisine I expect sesame-oil chili hotpot to catch on too."
他表示，「兩年來從店顧客年齡層明顯降低，及批發市場的辣椒，越辣越好賣的趨勢看來，國人口味已經越來越重，再配合近來流行的大陸熱，標榜正宗四川口味，從調味料到裝潢氣氛都講求『原味』重現的麻辣火鍋，流行可期。」
