狂一鍋 中和永貞店

Today is the first dining experience.
At the beginning, the staff will ask if you have been here before and provide an introduction.
The staff is friendly! They even came by to check if the dish's flavors were to our liking!

🔸 Guo Nong Milk Hot Pot, Beef Chuck Flap $489

• When the pot arrives at the table, it contains enoki mushrooms and cheese slices, and after ordering, they'll promptly pour in the milk. They'll remind you to cook it on medium heat and to remember to stir!
• The milk hot pot tastes fairly standard, and compared to other milk hot pots out there, it's already quite flavorful, but I still think that an enhanced milk hot pot is even better!
• The staff suggested cooking the beef chuck flap to 3-5 minutes, but I might have accidentally overcooked it a bit, making it a bit tough to chew.

• Each set meal comes with a Taiwanese-style stone pot, side dishes, desserts, and a vegetable buffet.

🔹 Vegetable Buffet

• Some main dishes are placed on top of the vegetables, but items like Prince noodles and Guanmiao noodles are next to the sauces, and there are quite a few main dish options, plus white rice and minced pork on the side!
• There are various vegetables; some cabbage leaves seemed a bit wilted from sitting too long, but since we’re going to cook them anyway, I think that’s acceptable.
• The pig's blood cake tastes more like rice pudding.
• The cod fish balls burst with juice and have a slight pepper flavor!
• I was surprisingly pleased to find bamboo shoots; as someone who loves eating them, I definitely had to grab some! Though the thickness varied, there was no strange bitterness!!

🔸 Drinks Machine

• The drinks for the all-you-can-eat deal include soda, juice, and tea, but there was also a half pitcher of water available for use nearby.

🔹 Ice Cream

• The flavor is pudding, but it tastes like cheap ice cream with insufficient creaminess.

🔅 The restrooms and checkout counters offer toothpicks and clothing freshener spray, which is quite thoughtful!

This isn’t the kind of place I'd specifically come to eat, but it’s not a one-time visit either. If you love vegetables, I think it’s a good deal! Originally, it seemed like you couldn’t make reservations and had to queue on-site, but I saw that reservations are now open!
