Xizhi District, New Taipei City｜竹味亭精緻火鍋

Hot Pot restaurant. Offers standard variety of meat from seafood to beef, pork & lamb. There is no English menu. Each person is given a stove where they cook themselves but the servers are happy to help. If you come with someone on the month of their birthday you get 10% discount. They do not serve alcohol but you can byo with no charge. No WiFi. You are given an appetizer (fake crab meat)and each person is given a large bowl of vegetables, tofu and some fish balls and a shrimp. You get a choice of rice or noodles with your meal. I chose noodles. They offer a wide variety of sauces and slices from chili to garlic to black/white vinegars and Taiwanese dipping sauces. Prices are good and servings are large. The lamb was very nice, the beef was ok. The white vinegar sauce was a tad bitter but still good. It may have needed an additional sauce to tone it down. The black vinegar I mixed with one of the other sauces was very good. The vegetables were fresh and tasty, same with the shrimp. Overall it was very good meal and well worth the money, especially if you go on your birthday.
