The garage lamb hot pot is located in an alley on Hejiang Street in the Zhongshan District, without any noticeable sign. It’s an old shop hidden in a residential garage.
It takes a bit of determination to order takeout; I made nearly fifty calls before I got through.
Want to dine in? That would almost qualify as a "life to-do list" item 😂.

This time, I ordered lamb hot pot, lamb slices, and garlic chive salted pork, totaling NT$2260.

Lamb Hot Pot:
In a medium pot, the broth and ingredients were packaged separately, with the ingredients overflowing to the edge of the pot as if there had been excess decoration. Luckily, I have a big enough pot at home.
But actually, the photo only shows half; I'll prepare the other half another day.
The broth has a subtle herbal aroma as a base, likely prepared using a red-stew method, but the flavor is warm and not stimulating, tasting sweet and not greasy.
The elastic lamb with skin is charmingly flavorful, with the right balance of collagen and fat, completely free of any mutton smell.

The side dishes are also quite plentiful, including frozen tofu, bean curd sheets, meatballs, and everything is in good order, with vegetables neatly processed and ready to be cooked directly, making it very user-friendly.

Lamb Slices:
These are thin slices of young lamb packaged separately, smooth and not tough, cooking very quickly with a strong lamb flavor.
I initially wanted to call and add some lamb chunks, but just half an hour had passed, and all the lamb chunks for the day were already sold out.

Garlic Chive Salted Pork:
One of the shop's signature side dishes, it has a salty aroma with a hint of spiciness from the garlic chives. The overall seasoning is just right, not the heavy saltiness typical of traditional salted pork.
The meat has a mix of fat and lean parts, which is great served hot with rice. I even think it could be served as a main dish.

Overall, it's a legendary lamb hot pot located in the prime area of Taipei City.
Operating for over twenty years, it started from a residential garage. The seating is limited, and the phone only accepts same-day reservations, so arranging for dine-in might require some effort.
Since it’s in a residential area, you need to be mindful of your conversation volume if it’s late.

On the day of takeout, they couldn’t provide other sides or noodle soup due to insufficient staff, so I had to heat up plain rice at home first.
On a good day, I'll try to make a few more calls and challenge myself again.

I highly recommend it to everyone!

On a side note, since this piece already falls into the category of reheating food (but if it’s not cooked after takeout, there’s no way to eat it), whether it counts as a pure food record is indeed up for discussion.
If there’s any controversy, I’ll leave it to the community to decide 😅.

The lamb hot pot located in a residential garage is called garage lamb hot pot. Reservations by phone start at 14:00 each day, and it's really a matter of luck, haha. There was one time when I got through easily, but another time a friend tried calling almost a hundred times and couldn’t get through. Later, I found out that takeout is also an option. After 2:30 or 3:00, it’s much easier to get through, and picking up at 18:15 is quite convenient.

Because photography is prohibited in the working area of the store and for some reason my camera couldn’t focus, I couldn’t take any pictures. I’m sorry for making my friends wait, and it smelled too good and I was too hungry to not start eating, so I didn’t get photos of the food. I hope to go back soon to take some pictures to make up for it.

The lamb hot pot is still delicious; the lamb with skin is tender and tasty. You must try the lamb oil noodles, and the salty pork is quite good. The vegetables are fresh, and the other hot pot ingredients are average, although I personally think the sliced meat is just okay.

Remember, especially when dining outdoors, to keep the volume down so as not to disturb the neighbors (I remember there was a time when it was too noisy and we kept getting reported, right?). Therefore, during meal times at 18:00 and 19:50, the rules are a bit stricter, so let’s be understanding with each other. The service is good, and the environment has been kept clean and hygienic since the renovations a few years ago. It's getting tougher to make reservations as it gets colder, so I hope to go back soon, or else takeout should also be a good option.
