CHAN CHI HOT POTS LAB

Hotpot is a must in summer. It's not that exaggerated. But I still want to eat it again after eating it. It's really enjoyable to sweat a lot. The taste of this Zhanji's yuanyang hotpot is really great, and there are so many hotpot dishes, which is really enjoyable.

Yan dumplings, with lots of fillings, good taste, and tender meat

The dishes are fresh, the duck blood tofu in the pot is delicious, the wing beef is of good quality, and the Matsusaka pork and plum pig are ordinary in comparison. Duck blood and squid shrimp paste should be ordered again later. The duck blood is full of Chinese medicine flavor and very tender. The mushroom egg dumplings are very fresh and sweet. Other items can be ordered according to personal preferences. The seats are spacious and the service is very good. The garlic in the sauce is of good quality. The shacha should be homemade and tastes very good. There is a playlist and you can order songs. It is difficult to park nearby, but you can take the MRT.

I went to the legendary Zhan Ji Hotpot Dunnan store with my friends on the weekend, and finally succeeded in the pilgrimage! The overall experience is really worthy of its reputation, from the environment to the food, it is impressive. 🥘 Food We ordered the signature spicy hotpot + sour cabbage shuangyang hotpot. The soup base is rich in aroma and not too spicy. It is spicy but not irritating. The sour cabbage soup is appetizing and smooth, and it goes very well with the meat slices. 🥩 Must-order recommendations • Braised large intestine: Super flavorful and not greasy, it is a complete rice killer (although I didn’t order rice 😂) • Pork belly & beef shoulder ribs: Beautiful oil distribution, super tender after a few seconds of light rinsing • Handmade meatballs: Fish balls and egg dumplings are very sincere, and they are real when you bite them • Old fried dough sticks: One of the souls of spicy hotpot, remember not to soak it for too long! 🍺 Other highlights The interior decoration is retro Taiwanese style, the red brick wall + neon sign is very distinctive, and it looks great for taking pictures. The service staff is also very considerate, and they come to help add soup and collect empty plates from time to time. 💰 Price Although the price is medium to high, it is a hot pot restaurant worth visiting again for the freshness of the ingredients and the overall experience!
