Taiwan is undoubtedly obsessed with hot pot! Welcome to Taichung, Taiwan, and today we’re going on a Taiwanese hot pot tour, but two totally different styles – one that’s on the luxury modern trendy side, and the other is a street food legend. We’ll compare the atmosphere, the ingredients, and then of course the prices. Let’s go eat Taiwan hot pot!

King of Hot Pot (嗑肉石鍋-南屯豐樂店): https://goo.gl/maps/D2DfaEKhanHgiShW7 – The first place is a modern trendy hot pot with a hilarious bleacher platter of beef and meats. The flavor was honestly a little underwhelming, just not enough flavor in the broth. Ingredients were alright.
Total price – 1805 TWD ($59.70)

Taiwan Chen Hot Pot (台灣陳沙茶火鍋): https://goo.gl/maps/kAUhCZ8d4GiDNehf7 – This places is an alley street food legend in Taichung and their hot pot was outstanding, including the ingredients, and sauces. I especially loved their local Taiwan beef.
Total price – 2,000 TWD ($66.14)

Oddly enough, the street food hot pot turned out to be slightly more expensive than the trendy place!

And which place did I like better… you probably can tell Taiwan Chen Hot Pot (台灣陳沙茶火鍋)!

    Hi Mark, you should try salty, Shandong style, seafood hot pot. Plan on visiting Qingdao or Jinan?

    Street food and luxury hot pot are two different types of dining experiences that cater to different tastes and preferences.

    Street food is typically inexpensive, fast, and casual. It is often sold by vendors on the streets or in small stalls and is known for its unique flavors, authenticity, and convenience. Street food is usually easy to eat on the go, and it often reflects the local culture and cuisine of the area.

    Luxury hot pot, on the other hand, is a more upscale dining experience that is usually served in restaurants or high-end establishments. It involves cooking raw ingredients, such as meats, seafood, and vegetables, in a hot pot of broth at the table. The broth is often flavored with spices and herbs, and diners can customize their own hot pot by choosing from a variety of ingredients and dipping sauces.

    While street food is often associated with convenience and affordability, luxury hot pot is more about the experience and the quality of the food. Both options can be enjoyable, but they cater to different needs and preferences.

    “América”. Man, America is a continent. Stop generalizing it like there is just one country in the continent. You are from the USA, not “America”

    From his comments it was quite obvious that Mark had decided the second place was better before he even tried the food. It would be nice to discuss the food based on its merits and taste, rather than what "looks" more authentic.

    I'm surprised Mark likes the food in Taiwan… So many things are meant to be more subtle and mild like the first hot pot to bring out the original flavor (原味) of the ingredients instead of being drowned in chili.
