Pingtung City, Pingtung County｜鼎馥秘藏鍋物

Amazing traditional hot pot with a home atmosphere. The staff and the owner are very kind, and the food is the best!

I passed by Minhe Road in the city a while ago, and there were several restaurants along the way, including flavor pots, canteens, barbecues, seafood, and fire grills... Among them, this one, "Dingfu Secret Pot Store", is quite attractive because of its name, coupled with the window design and interior decoration, it makes people take a few more glances; Even though we had a two-day holiday yesterday, I still had to go back to the factory with my wife to make some trivial preparations. The heavy rain continued in the afternoon⛈️. On a whim, I searched the Internet for #dingfusecret pot food. It was rare to find such high-quality pot food in Pingtung. There are very few hot pot restaurants that are only open in the evening, and the business hours are from 5:30 pm to 1:30 am. I simply messaged FB to make a reservation to see if there are still seats during the holidays. I waited and waited but still didn’t get it. In response, go to work first; Until five o'clock in the afternoon, there was a ding⋯⋯ message from FB. The store replied that for a table of 6 guests, the seven o'clock time slot has been postponed to 10:30 p.m., so we can dine at seven o'clock🍴, so we made the reservation ~! Due to the influence of the front, it was still raining when I left the factory at 6:30 in the evening. The slightly cool night was perfect for warming up with some pot food; If you drive here on Minhe Road, it may not be easy to park (no parking spaces), so you can go home first and change your car to go there; before entering the store, there is a pot of flower art and paintings at the door. Open the wooden door and look to the right. At the back is a small counter and a collection of various iron kettles (probably collected by the boss). There are antique seats on the left in front of the door, and many antique displays on the right. The walls of the seating area inside are wallpapered with ancient characters, which is very antique. The atmosphere is great, and there is also a guzheng performance area planned inside (with performances from time to time). It just so happened that there was a performance tonight. I was really lucky...; There are about nine seating areas in the store (each table can seat up to 6 people) and a private room for 8 to 10 people. The waitress was kind enough to bring the seating area and ordered a few special classic secret pot dishes, a comprehensive beef platter, and Spanish Ibi. Li Sheep Pig, handmade scallop paste, Bubu Gaosheng's comprehensive signature handmade balls (kimchi handmade balls, octopus balls, taro handmade balls, handmade quinoa and sweet potato health balls, scallop balls, beef balls, pesto caviar balls), icing on the cake vegetable platter, For the soup base, choose Yuanyang Hotpot (Hongguan Sipin Spicy Hotpot, Small Spicy Hotpot, Hibiscus Beauty and Ginseng Hotpot); Before waiting for the food to be served, the waitress brought a pot of tea and a large wooden box, which contained a variety of melon seeds, biscuits and snacks. They were served free of charge before the meal. It may take time to prepare the meal, but you can chat and drink while waiting. Have tea and snacks, quite considerate service concept; About 15 to 20 minutes later, the soup from the pot was served, wow⋯⋯⋯⋯ The mandarin duck pot with double faucets is very textured. The aroma of the spicy soup slowly spreads, with a light Chinese herbal aroma and a slight peppery spicy smell without choking. The other soup is a ginseng pot, with a hint of ginseng and red dates. The aroma, coupled with the special milk tofu as the bottom of the pot, is sweet but not greasy; Step by step handmade meatballs are also served one after another (step by step design utensils with gradient design, it is very healing to see), Iberian sheep and pig (there are two styles to choose from: Swan Lake surface is decorated with meat slices and Barbie doll The hem of the skirt is decorated with slices of meat), and dry ice is poured in the middle of the plate, making everyone gasp in surprise; When this plate of utensils was brought to the table, the table seemed a little too small and crowded. Without saying anything, the vegetable plate, handmade meatballs, and handmade scallop paste were put into the pot in order. The meat slices were lightly rinsed in the hot soup, fresh and delicious. The meat is sweet, tender, juicy, and of excellent meat quality. Whether it is beef or pork, they are all delicious. Moreover, the base ingredients (duck blood, braised dried beans) are all you can eat. The waitress will come to ask if you want to add the base ingredients at any time. Everyone who ate there was very happy and satisfied. This is a restaurant that I really recommend. Although there are not many service staff, everyone’s service attitude is good and fast. If you can’t eat more, their seafood is also very unique. Look at it. The next few tables have ordered Momofuku shrimp and volcanic eruption shrimp. The decorations are also very eye-catching. I will come back next time and change the seafood flavor. It is really a textured and delicious dinner. , like👍⋯⋯⋯⋯
