🇹🇼 Ultimate Taiwan Street Food Tour: • Taiwan Street Food - B...

Taiwan is undoubtedly obsessed with hot pot! Welcome to Taichung, Taiwan, and today we’re going on a Taiwanese hot pot tour, but two totally different styles - one that’s on the luxury modern trendy side, and the other is a street food legend. We’ll compare the atmosphere, the ingredients, and then of course the prices. Let’s go eat Taiwan hot pot!
King of Hot Pot (嗑肉石鍋-南屯豐樂店): goo.gl/maps/D2DfaEKhanHgiShW7 - The first place is a modern trendy hot pot with a hilarious bleacher platter of beef and meats. The flavor was honestly a little underwhelming, just not enough flavor in the broth. Ingredients were alright.
Total price - 1805 TWD ($59.70)
Taiwan Chen Hot Pot (台灣陳沙茶火鍋): goo.gl/maps/kAUhCZ8d4GiDNehf7 - This places is an alley street food legend in Taichung and their hot pot was outstanding, including the ingredients, and sauces. I especially loved their local Taiwan beef.
Total price - 2,000 TWD ($66.14)
Oddly enough, the street food hot pot turned out to be slightly more expensive than the trendy place!
And which place did I like better… you probably can tell Taiwan Chen Hot Pot (台灣陳沙茶火鍋)!

To whom wants to visit Taiwan: If you like various types of food and good public transport, then Taipei is your best option. However, as long as you go to southern Taiwan (like Taichung or even Tainan) people there are more friendly, hospitable, and welcoming (just like the shopkeeper in the video.) You can have more street food choices. Mark’s trip arrangement is good because you can enjoy different local foods and customs from northern Taiwan to Southern Taiwan. I would suggest selecting Tainan as your next destination. Thanks for your video. Welcome to Taiwan!!!

Chen Shacha is one of my favorite hot pot restaurants. Tourists coming to Taichung are highly recommended to go to eat it. In the wintertime, the restaurant is truly packed and queued all the way down the alley. Also the owner is a funny guy, always interacting with customers, like what he did in the video, even he’s not good at English, but he still tried to sing a bit national anthem.

For those who said Mark likes EVERYTHING haha. Clearly, he thought the first place was just okay. If youve watched him long enough, you can tell when he doesn't like something. It's not just the body language or facial expressions, but he also doesn't talk as much

@KhaosAtom Жыл бұрын

and for the price he paid... the place probably asked him not to film too much or rushed him, or even didn't felt authentic, he usually says something like the staff is so friendly but here not so much.
