Taiwan has its fair share of hot pot eateries. Taipei is home to the bulk of them, but there are quite a few in the city of Taipei.
Hot pot is akin to fondue: ingredients are placed in a boiling pot served tableside. The pots are commonly brought out for special occasions and served family-style, but a lot of restaurants have modified them so each person gets their own individual pot.
Here’s a guide to the best of hot pot in Taipei:
1. Tripod King 鼎王麻辣鍋
Tripod King or Ding Wang is one of the more famous joints in town. Fine meats and handmade dumplings are stewed at your table in classic, spicy broth on a three-legged metal pot.
