初殿鍋物 永春店

Near the MRT Yongchun Station, Chudian Hot Pot is always packed during lunchtime on weekdays. It specializes in exquisite individual hot pots, humorously claiming to be "braised pork rice that was delayed by hot pot."

"Weekday Set Menu $299"
At this price point in Taipei City, both the portion and quality are quite impressive. I ordered the milk pot, which has a rich and smooth broth with a light milky aroma that isn't overwhelming. The fresh ingredients provided were just the right amount; you could tell that the restaurant put a lot of effort into preparing everything, from the vegetable platter to the meats.

The self-service bar is also a bonus, offering three to four kinds of drinks for guests to enjoy freely. The hot pot ingredients are designed very thoughtfully, including items like rice blood cake, taro, and other hot pot ingredients. If you don't like hot pot ingredients, you can easily skip them, providing flexibility and choices for customers.

The braised pork rice is packed with a high proportion of fatty meat that is tender and flavorful, with a rich gelatinous texture. Paired with the aromatic braising sauce, it truly makes you want to take bite after bite. If you love fatty meat, this dish will certainly keep you coming back for more.

Overall, Chudian Hot Pot excels in terms of hot pot offerings, side dish selections, and the braised pork rice. You can eat well and have the freedom of choice, which explains the constant crowd even on weekdays. I recommend that friends who want to visit remember to avoid peak times or make a reservation in advance to not miss out on this satisfying and affordable hot pot feast.
