Wujie Township, Yilan County｜SHADOW影子市集火鍋

This is a mid-range hotpot with a unique concept providing all-you-can-eat vegetables and meat add-ons. Located in northeastern Taiwan in Yilan, this restaurant requires a car or scooter as it’s a bit far from the city center. Everything is all-you-can-eat besides the meat and seafood, which you need to order separately. The restaurant has a “vegetable bar” with pre-processed vegetables that you can choose and place in a container, where store employees will wash and prepare/cut the vegetables before they bring the hotpot-ready vegetables to your table. The vegetable bar has an excellent selection of fresh vegetables, including corn, baby corn, broccoli, tomatoes, purple potatoes, winter melon, eggplant, lettuce, cabbage, all types of mushrooms, water spinach, bok choy, and “A” vegetable. Of note, the corn was exceptionally sweet. Not only were the vegetables all very fresh, the meat and seafood also did not disappoint. Wanting to try an assortment of their beef, we ordered the beef combo platter, which featured 20 oz of different cuts of beef. Besides beef, we ordered clams and squid. The clams were incredibly fresh and tasted ridiculously good. The broth was light and paired well with the vegetables, meat, and seafood. There were self-serve stations set-up to make your own dipping sauce and, if you preferred, to change their original light broth to a spicy, sichuan style broth. There was a varied selection of drinks, and we highly recommend the Luodong farmers’ association soymilk that they had available. Overall, a great experience, definitely recommend going if you’re in the area and are looking for a casual dinner!
