Reviews
- hyper_beechWent to a hotpot place inside a shopping mall and honestly had a really solid time. We got the Taiwanese-style spicy hotpot and the broth was so flavorful — nice and spicy but not over the top. The duck blood and tofu were a refillable situation which was awesome. Duck blood was super tender and silky, and the tofu had soaked up all that broth so every bite was packed with flavor. Also tried these penguin-shaped meatballs which were honestly the cutest things ever, super bouncy and chewy. Got a Calpis shaved ice drink to go with it and it was the perfect thing to cut through all that richness. The place itself was pretty spacious with nice soft lighting, great for hanging out with friends. Staff was friendly and the food came out at a decent pace too. I'd come back for sure.
