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)!

  1. Why does he never slurp when eating all those boiling hot soupy food? Isn’t he Asian? I find it weird he’d rather scald and burn his tongue/mouth.🙄 Just not worth the etiquette.

  2. I give up on restaurant hot pot, it's just too bland.
    Sometimes they have a good broth, but it's not exactly loaded with flavor for hot pot, or more importantly, heat from peppers.
    Our hot pot broth is spicy and flavorful enough that you don't have to add any condiments individually.
    And we always have eggs in ours, a few meats, baby potatoes, baby carrots, onions, those rice cake things (don't know what they're called, have some in the freezer but can't read what it says), different mushrooms, assorted green leafy vegetables, seasonal vegetables, you name it.
    Always some kind of peppers floating off in there.
    But we like to add some noodles off in there, they're really good cooked in the broth with all them spices.
    We usually serve rice on the side.
    Some folks will dump the broth the minute the meal is over, but I save it to eat with rice for a snack or a meal by itself.
    Now I'm hungry.

  3. I love the contrast between the two first places. It didn't seem like the luxury/dry ice-shenanigans could hold up against the authenticity and more pungent tastes of the second.

  4. Not sure how you can eat a really hot food, we tried this once and our mouth was really numb because of heat and spice

  5. Taipei means north of taiwan.. taichong means middle of taiwan.. so.. after this should at tainan.. south.. south of Taiwan got incredible foods😅😅

  6. I would love to try hot pot except here in the states it’s so expensive. Plus I’m in Ks and there’s not a lot of places here. This is why I love Marks videos because I can live vicariously through him. Great video. I always look forward to Marks videos and if there’s no new ones I get caught up on all the previous ones

  7. This was a really good video. That owner was funny and how Mark rolled with it was awesome. He rolls with all the punches with joy on the videos. Hope he’s like that in real life!!!

  8. Mark, I am a pescatarian now, but I love to watch you enjoy! I live vicariously through your adventures. I miss traveling to Asia. The second restaurant is where I would want to be! Thanks for sharing!
