in chinese, this place is called “old sichuan” it’s ma-la hot pot.
on their sign outside, the english says ” Kingdom of Pa and Shu. Hot and Spcy Tofu with Beef”
a little misleading.. anyhow.
we went with a group of 10 and had 2 of the mixed pots. half ma-la spicy (with tons of duck blood. so good.) and half non spicy. for the pots, we ordered 2 different kinds of beef, which came in huge portions, enoki mushrooms, 2 green veggies. intestine, fishcake balls, large mushrooms.. i forget what else, but that was what I ate at least!
the pots with the base soups before we started cooking and adding ingredients.
the spicy side was a bit oily/greasy.. mostly spicy oils, but once you cook the beef, it was… FAT.
like i said. HUGE portions of meat. good for big groups.
i’m really starting to enjoy chinese ma-la hot pot… guess this means i’m finally assimilating to taiwan! i used to only love shabu shabu.. X) which i still do of course.
