I went to the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum to see an exhibition, and since there were a lot of people inside at noon, we decided to go eat at the sugar factory. I initially searched Google reviews and found that they had a wide selection of fruits and vegetables, good parking, and friendly service. Since it's located in the sugar factory, parking is free and close by, just about a 5-minute walk.

The entire restaurant is decorated with dolls, so I felt very warm and cute as soon as I walked in. The space is planned with partitions, and we were seated at a table for six, where only one side had a walkway. After the table next to us was occupied, the space became a bit cramped, and we had to maneuver around each other to get to our seats.

Ordering was done by scanning the QR code on the table. Since it was a hot pot setup, we could choose either a yin-yang pot with two flavors or a single flavor. My friends and I chose to have two pots: one with a milk base and the other with a spicy tom yum flavor.

Aside from the pot base and meat, everything else — vegetables, mushrooms, staples (rice, noodles), hot pot ingredients, and drinks — was self-serve. They had a few cabinets filled with a generous selection, and the vegetables were really fresh and diverse. There were also eggs available for self-service, and the staff quickly replenished items that ran out.

Overall, it's easy to end up eating too much and find it hard to move, but I feel like this is a place I'd want to visit again. I recommend it (perhaps next time I should ride a bike to the sugar factory to exercise a bit).

Is the salary particularly generous because it’s in Chiayi? To be honest, the store doesn't seem particularly large at first, but just for the noodles, there are four options plus many hot pot ingredients that I can't even name; it really is quite extravagant (guessing what the ingredients are while eating).
The beverage bowl and plate area, where you can also directly get broth. The focus is on the rice! It's not regular white rice, but purple rice, because I honestly ate too much and didn't serve any.
On the other side of the smoothie ingredient area, there are also fried dough sticks that can be added to the spicy hot pot base. They really understand the customers' hearts ❤️
A lot of vegetables! In addition to the common ones like cabbage, bok choy, and king oyster mushrooms, there are also red amaranth and sweet peppers, among others. The tofu is very delicious, so it's taken really quickly. The best part is that you don't need to pay extra for the eggs; you can just take them freely. So happy about that!
The milk base for the hot pot tastes very fragrant, sweet, and rich. The boss directly took a can of milk to prepare soup for the friends, so the broth wouldn’t become lighter and lighter as they drank it. Great!
The seasoned chicken leg meat is quite large, so it takes longer to cook, but the texture is not bad, and it has a slight chicken flavor.
The added pork is not thin, and it tastes pretty good when cooked~
The Tom Yum soup pot after adding the ingredients— the broth really resembles what I miss from the Thai street vendors, and the spiciness is tear-inducing 😭. It tastes especially good with vegetables and mushrooms 😋.
Kumquat green tea tastes relatively astringent.
A smoothie is a must to relieve greasiness! I chose an apple smoothie, and there’s also a yogurt flavor.
At the checkout counter, you can see the entire wall decorated with cute cups, and suddenly I'm a bit worried about an earthquake.
The yard outside also has beautiful paintings, but we didn't stay too long because the weather was too hot.
There are also some statues in the courtyard at the entrance, and overall it is very suitable for a stroll.
