Tripod Pot
Posted in Chinese on November 22nd, 2007 by mei| | 4 Comments.
So, apparently I just had dinner at the it hot pot stop in town.
Tripod King (鼎王麻辣é‹) is a hot pot chain that started out in Taichung and has just recently made its way to Taipei. And oh, there’s a three hour wait to get a table for dinner.
I’m not going to wax lyrical about the joint but allow me to highlight in bullet points.
-order the yin yang pot (鴛鴦é‹) [half spicy and half basic broth (pictured above)].
-get the handmade seafood dumplings (pictured below)!
-try the two dipping sauces (pictured bottom right)
-wash everything down with Taiwan Beer (why, of course).
Yah. Best hot pot I’ve had in a damn long time.
(Kudos out to Pei Pei, my high school classmate, for passive-aggressively coercing my lazy ass into joining arranging this din din ;-> Congratulations once again on your engagement!)
To the rest of my (hopefully) loyal readers: Yes, Mei’s back. Sorta.
