Have you ever eaten Hot Pot ('Huo Guo')? Do you LOVE to eat hotpot? Does hotpot taste best when you're alone, do you prefer to go as a date, or do you love going with an entire team of friends? Whatever your preference, this is probably Taiwan's all-around favorite meal, and THIS mini hotpot shop in TaiChung accommodates any and every size of hotpot lover.
I would love to sit down with YOU for a combo hotpot meal right now!
I think this is one of the coolest smaller-scale hotpot restaurants that I've seen in a long time, Li and I felt like we had to share this meal experience in our new favorite food city (TaiChung). The menu selections here are pretty fun (wait til you hear the names :), and the serving style is totally unique!
Let's learn the quick and easy steps required to make a hot pot meal memory for yourself, and let's learn some of the reasons why this dish is so well loved in Taiwan.
I hope you enjoy this video, and I always want to thank you for taking time to write, to comment, to send your support. It IS a great and wonderful day to share today (sharing in the fact that WE are ALIVE!), so I hope this brightens your day even more.
Love Li and Joel, see you for the next (and final!) Taiwan adventure very soon.

Blessed to be alive Joel and Li. I love walking around you find hidden gems, sometimes you even make friends along the way. Hotpot is always good and fun, it is like drinking a bowl of hot soup especially on a cold day to warm you up or when you have a flu to make you feel better😊the sauce seem to be the seller for this dish. Safe travels guys

Think I like that partially prepared "mini" hot pot better than the traditional one, at least for smaller parties. There was an abundance of different ingredients and it all looked fresh and clean and 'stinky' ;-) Thanks Joel

Dear Joel - It’s so sweet of you to remind us of the most important thing in life “ Gratitude” for living yet another day . I just have a question for you ; why is that you and Mark both love Stinky food like the Stinky Tofu , Stinky beans etc .. is it something that both of you as kids were used to having and enjoying Stinky yet delicious food . I am genuinely so happy for you . Hats off to the fact that after riding your bike for 6 hours you look fresh and also wish us the best . I am very happy, as always for you and our dear Li ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for introducing us to such cuisines which might be a detriment to begin with , however life is full of exploring new things including cuisines . Thoroughly enjoyed this vlog . As usual your review of each dish was so candid and detailed 💯💯💯 Despite not visiting the place we have a sense of what’s in store for us at a particular restaurant and a place that you have visited and dined . Tons of love and hugs to you & Li for making my evening extra special 🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️

Rajesh man!!! haha you have given me ANOTHER great and excellent comment, which is usual, yours are always like an article on their own, but today you've given me a brain buster :) Finding Reason where there may be none? And yet, we as inquisitive minds still cannot stop but search, and discuss, most importantly laugh :) and continue the quest for some type of explanation... So!! Let me try.

I think in this case, the video includes something stinky, and so you ask about something of this sort, but I think its more along the lines of ANYTHING crazy, anything that is pushing the limits of what our world's cuisines have to offer, and it tends to be the case that MOST people find either very stinky, very bitter, or very sour things to be classed into a category of their own (in each culture/cuisine), and so these become a topic of focus. Therefore, when one visits a new culture, its kinda easy to figure out what these outlier foods are, and then go directly to try them!! And I guess, there's a sort of adventure in itself, but also yes, as you notice both I and my good friend, we DO enjoy these unexpected and wild flavors, truly, there's no faking it, but there's also an aspect of fun, doing something that is just totally unique!! And I guess others might enjoy new and unique experiences outside of food... for the most part, we just go for the ones that are related to food sensations :)

and as to the reason BEHIND it? I come back to the beginning and say, I cannot think of one single reason, because actually I do not come from a culture that has a very famous cuisine, or famously diverse array of foods. Its almost like my interest in various human experiences, and natural adventures, also extends into a curiousity about food :)

@@JoelsTastyRide Dear Joel - Thanks so much for your detailed reply. I understand where you come from. The biggest advantage of food lovers like you and Mark are that you are not scared in experimenting a new cuisine be it at your own bastion or different countries. A classic example, that I can think of is your recent visit to India where you really tried some unconventional chaat items and thoroughly relished . Could watch and feel the joy that you experienced. It’s the culinary adventure to try something new that clearly excites you and in that way you become a part of that community from an experience stand point . Kudos to you for taking efforts to dish out such experiences to us . Please don’t take it otherwise I love to watch every frame of a vlog that I like and hence my question. I have the answer and thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ Wishing you & Li a wonderful time in Turkey . Stay blessed dears 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️

Hi Joel and Li.... these hotpots look so good and the steamed and boiled stinky tofu is really an experience in Taiwan... normally a lot of eaters have it fried and you follow with your nose to the streetstall but in Taiwan stinky Tofu that is steamed or simmered in broth is truly one of their signatures!!!!❤hope to catch you in Chiangmai soon
