泰滾 Rolling Thai 泰式火鍋 崇德店

My first attempt at Thai-style hot pot 🇹🇭 seems quite rare in the market, but this place can be found in Taipei, Taoyuan, and Taichung ~ The atmosphere and decor inside the restaurant left a strong impression on me; I noticed the decor while passing by in a car and it caught my attention to come in for a meal, making me feel like I was in a vacation spot 🤣 However, the price per customer for this meal isn't low (especially compared to other Thai places). The flavors were pretty spot on; the coconut milk chicken had a strong creamy taste, and the Tom Yum was appetizing and paired well with any ingredients.

My favorite dish was the Thai style shrimp cake 👍🏻; this one is a must-order. The crispy outer layer contains a textured shrimp paste, and dipping it in the special sauce on the side is so tasty. I also tried their signature fish paste, where a professional staff member helps to serve it into the pot. Interestingly, they first drizzle the fish paste with the hot pot broth before adding it into the pot in batches. However, the texture isn't what we usually expect from fish paste; I personally think it's good to try once 😹. The meat was average; it was fresh but didn't leave a special impression.

The vegetable basket was arranged beautifully, and the quality of the vegetables seemed carefully selected. For our Thai milk tea, we ordered one iced and one hot. It can’t be adjusted for sweetness, but when having Thai cuisine, you need to have a cup! The hot tea is a bit sweeter than the iced one, so if you don’t want it too sweet, the iced option might be better ~

Here’s what we ordered this time (for two people; it's actually quite enough to eat):
In the end, we packed both soup bases to take home, which is really a deal (?). I highly recommend bringing someone celebrating their birthday; the restaurant's birthday promotion offers a number of shrimp equal to the age of the birthday person 🦐. On the day we dined, the other tables nearby had plates full of shrimp, so we might come back next time when we have a birthday to celebrate ˶ˊᜊˋ˶ᐝ
