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 ( - ): - 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 ( ): - 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 (!

Chen Shacha is one of my favorite hot pot restaurants. Tourists coming to Taichung are highly recommended to go to eat it. In the wintertime, the restaurant is truly packed and queued all the way down the alley.
Also the owner is a funny guy, always interacting with customers, like what he did in the video, even he s not good at English, but he still tried to sing a bit national anthem.

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

I am so happy that you showed us the Fancy High end Hot Pot and the regular common Labouters Hot Pot in the same video.
I would treat a Girlfriend to the Fanct Hot Pot for a special occasion. But I love the cheaper alleyway food vendor alternative with authentic flavours.

14: 55 That s shacha sauce, a common hot pot dipping sauce, made from soybean oil, garlic, shallots, brill fish and dried shrimp, can be mixed with any combination of sesame oil, soy sauce, black vinegar, green onion, sugar, crushed peanuts or peanut powder, hot peppers etc.
reply

Mark, that sauce at the 2nd place is sacha, which is a common base sauce for hot pot in Taiwan. You don't use it alone (I mean by all means do whatever you want but most people don't do that. You put it in your mixed sauce. It adds so much more flavors to the sauce.

Very interested to see all these Taiwanese hot pot dishes and compare with Korean hot pot, which I'm more familiar with. Makes me realize I really need to spend more time in Taiwan I was especially wowed by the duck hot pot from two episodes back!

I m Taiwanese from Taichung city
I can say the hot pots and barbecue restaurants are the features of Taichung.
And the Chen satay hot pot is in the ancient area of Taichung
I prefer Liu satay hot pot which is just next to this restaurant.

reply

Yeah that first one looks pretty boring. just your regular trendy hotpot place.
Lots of them do that meat mountain thing so it's really not that special. A lot of even better choices.
The second one though, looks great!

I am surprised that Mark didn't stop eating when he heard the US National Anthem. But again, with such rich flavors of hot pot in front, most would ignore to stand up and place the right hand over the heart.
reply

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!
reply

Wow on the first place King of Hotpot I saw the price on menu of the thing was 999 NO Way. then i thought ok this is how the rich people live etc. However all that for on 60 (US) then yeah. bargain!
reply

Love how he references King Arthur and therefore ritual cult murder. I'm just waiting for U Tubers to reference their whole Funnel Spider thing soon. Dinner & a show. hey guys? #StopHumanTrafficking
reply

Mark, you are overcooking the beef, the perfect state would be still a little pink, and it's safe to eat it like that in Taiwan. Please try it again and you will experience another level.
reply

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!
reply

With the first place I don't think it was a great choice for him to pick the Sichuan soup base. Probably pick that if he's having hotpot in Sichuan, would be more authentic there.
