養心殿台式養生鍋 Taiwanese Hotpot - Jordan, Hong Kong

Anytime is a good time for hotpot.  This time, Taiwanese style hotpot. Love the interior design of this 養心殿台式養生鍋 at Jordan.  A little hidden but because of that, we were able to get a table.  Their other locations were fully booked.  A thing I don't like about the design of this place is that they use wooden benches for chairs.  The thin type of benches that I can still probably find at my grandma's house, but no where else.  That is super uncomfortable to sit on and nothing to rest your back on.  I guess it's the restaurant's tactic.  Force their customers to eat fast and leave asap, so a new set of customer can come in.

Even the pot looks authentic.  

We ordered 2 soup base.  One side is the spicy soup with duck blood and the other one is some healthy soup that I can't remember.  There is a herbal taste to it.

Ordered a bunch of food.  A little too much.  The 3 of us were not able to finish everything.  The soup itself came with a lot of chicken/duck blood to it.  Lots of flavour in the soup.  The food that gets cooked in it soaks up all the flavor.  So, even though there is a sauce bar, I didn't really need to dip my meat/food in the sauce.  The soup itself was enough.



Shrimp paste is always my favorite.

Hotpot would not be hotpot without beef!  I don't like hand cut beef slice.  I prefer these thinly slice beef a lot more and they are actually cheaper.

A whole bowl of duck blood that comes with the soup.

Nom nom nom....
