West District, Taichung City｜麻角 鍋專門 西區五權店

Being one of the few "stand-alone" mini-hotpot restaurants, it is delivery oriented and the shop name literally means "spicy corner". Note that Szechuan pepper instead of the normal pepper is used in this shop so you will feel numb on your tongue after you taste it. There are five soups for you to choose, two of them are not spicy while three of them are. You may find dry noodle with Szechuan pepper included as well. Thank God a soup with no spice comes with the dry noodle to rescue your tongue from Szechuan pepper. So the price is 10% off if you eat on the spot on the two tables next to the sidewalk. The instrumental music from the portable speaker and the lighting are both nice but when a truck passes by the music is not clear enough. So maybe if you come later there would be fewer trucks on the road. It is not located in an area full of restaurants but the environment is neat with plants placed around.

So thick
