Tripod King (鼎王麻辣鍋) 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 (鴛鴦鍋) [half spicy and half basic broth (pictured above)].
-get the handmade seafood dumplings (pictured below)!
-try the two dipping sauces (pictured bottom right)saucy_sauces.jpgtwo_bit_dumplings.jpg
-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.
