Taoyuan District, Taoyuan City｜鼎王麻辣鍋(桃園南平店)

Nice hotpot place for rainy day. The mala hotpot is not that peppery as I thought which is very good for me as I can’t really fancy super peppery taste. But if you enjoy spicy food, they will adjust the spiciness according to your preference. What I enjoyed was the free flow of duck blood for mala soup base. We ordered both of the soup base, but would prefer the mala only if I were to come back again. They provide two type of free(maybe I should say included) dipping sauces one is vinegar for mala pot, another one is kinda like peanut paste for clear soup base. They also provide rice for free of charge as well as tea. Nice restaurant interior, clean and spacious. Good service, the staff are friendly and helpful. For the price wise, it’s above average price. They have a minimum spending requirements which is understandable, you can check it out at one of my picture. We paid around 1600TWD for two of us ladies. To be honest, you can find a much more cheaper hotpot with the same standard around the area. But it’s really worth to try and we truly enjoy the hotpot.

We came as a party of eight and ordered a mix soup, one with sour cabbage and one Mala hot pot. I thought the sour cabbage hot pot was delicious - the sour cabbage itself was well cooked and the quality of meat at this hot pot place is also very good. It definitely was on the pricier end of hot pot - ended up being roughly 800 per person

The staff are nice and polite. Food portion is generous and food selection is favorable! Highly recommending the 花枝丸&干貝滑!
