The restaurant chain Little Sheep looks set to float an IPO in Hong Kong later this year that could be worth as much as about US$250 million, according to the business section of the Sunday Times. The hotpot restaurant started in inner Mongolia
and now has over 700 outlets. Guests select raw ingredients and cook them themselves in a pot of broth at their table.
