Da’an District, Taipei City｜忻殿堂火鍋 Xin HOT POT

Walking into the store, it reminds me of nights in Singapore. The foliage decorating the outside is soothing. We ordered the laksa hotpot with a three person set surf and turf meal. We added 600 to get the large portion of short ribs and sirloin because I love to eat beef. I was very impressed with the hotpot which included dried curry leaves and lemon grass pieces. It was very savory and spicy: enough to keep you eating. Yumm! Make sure to keep the fire low and slow to avoid any coconut graininess. The amount of food was more than enough to make us full… the beef was tender and sweet without getting any unpleasant fatty aftertaste. The chili sauce that accompanied the beef, recommended by the server, was tart and garlicky. Five stars alone for the sauce. You can ask for more if needed. If you order the seafood platter, they will cook up an amazing bowl of seafood porridge for you! I will be coming back with friends for sure!

The ingredients from the dishes to the staple food are fresh, the menu selection is diversified, the service is in place, and the characteristics and sources of each ingredient are kindly introduced. The price is more reasonable considering the rent of the shop here. From the perspective of a solid but not too high dish, the heroic and sweet alpine cabbage is the base, the organic fungus surrounds the enoki mushrooms to maintain the appearance, the purple onion that is not choking is rich in color, and there are organic baby corns with skins, not to mention Japanese The chestnut pumpkin is as amazing as a dessert in a hot pot, so that the pumpkin is no longer just a chicken rib for filling. Healthy low-fat beef is unexpectedly not dry because of the lack of fat. The thick-cut tender shoulder is not only soft and tender, but also has just the right amount of fat to add flavor. There is not too much powder added to the added shrimp paste and squid paste. After cooking, you can tell whether it is crisp squid paste or slightly elastic shrimp paste by the mouthfeel and aroma. I thought the love-shaped angel red shrimp was too much, but I didn't expect that the A-grade clams were not inferior because they were only sold. They were all plump and must be opened, and then there was only a full flavor of the sea, which was comparable in size and deliciousness to a single clam. Barbecued big clams with a price of one hundred yuan. After eating here, continue the tradition of orange hot pot-cook porridge, put freshly cooked Japanese sushi rice with good water content into the pot, and cook it with the fresh and sweet soup rich in ingredients, Samsung green onions, seaweed, shiitake mushrooms, eggs, etc. Join in, facing the essence in front of you, a thought flashed through you that you should bring an insulated box to pack and take away!

▎Store: Xin Diantang ▎ Meal time: 8/17 (Fri) ▎ Queuing status: reservations are available I used eztable to book a table and bought a 999 sea and land package for two people (original price 1,450). It is really a good deal to book a table using ez. For 999, two people can eat delicious meat, fresh seafood, and full of vegetables. The seafood is very fresh, the meat is generous, but I still can’t eat enough, and the size of the plate is OK Finally, the shrimp heads and soup base were used to cook the porridge. It was delicious! It was very filling. Eating this restaurant on Chinese Valentine's Day really saves face :) I give 9 out of 10
