Winter in Taipei
In our Boston experience, many people were interested what Taiwan, especially Taipei, is like. Letb s start with this festive season. Winter is a time for warm friendly gatherings. While Taiwanese take pride in their local street food, friends and family usually get together over a nice meal. In the chilly winter, nothing is better than a soul warming hot pot!
Influenced by Chinese cuisine, Taiwanese hot pot infused the traditional recipe with many varieties. There are spicy hot pot of different degrees of spiciness, hot pot of chicken soup with rich broth, and shabu-shabu personal hot pot for those who like to share meal time while enjoying their own style of food. There are also all kinds of ingredients to the dinersb liking: seafood, vegetables, select meat slices, egg dumplings, or cheese balls prepped ready to be cooked in the broth.
Watching the boiling soup as flavorful aroma fills the room gives the simplest joy. As hot pot gourmet warms the body, a nice catch-up with friends warms the heart. When you are in Taipei, this is a nice experience you donb t want to miss*.
*Donb t worry about the heat in June. The restaurants in Taiwan keep room temperatures just right for you to enjoy it.
