Taiwan is undoubtedly obsessed with hot pot! Welcome to Taichung, Taiwan, and today we’re going on a Taiwanese hot pot tour, but two totally different styles - one that’s on the luxury modern trendy side, and the other is a street food legend. We’ll compare the atmosphere, the ingredients, and then of course the prices. Let’s go eat Taiwan hot pot!
King of Hot Pot (嗑肉石鍋-南屯豐樂店): goo.gl/maps/D2... - The first place is a modern trendy hot pot with a hilarious bleacher platter of beef and meats. The flavor was honestly a little underwhelming, just not enough flavor in the broth. Ingredients were alright.
Total price - 1805 TWD ($59.70)
Taiwan Chen Hot Pot (台灣陳沙茶火鍋): goo.gl/maps/kA... - This places is an alley street food legend in Taichung and their hot pot was outstanding, including the ingredients, and sauces. I especially loved their local Taiwan beef.
Total price - 2,000 TWD ($66.14)
Oddly enough, the street food hot pot turned out to be slightly more expensive than the trendy place!
And which place did I like better… you probably can tell Taiwan Chen Hot Pot (台灣陳沙茶火鍋)!

This is not just a Food & Travel channel ....This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old man. 👍👍👍
Yes I agree very interesting show
Thank you very much!
Definitely... culture and food - what a great channel. :)
Unequivocally yes! Well said!
Are you sure about it?
Mark, I am a truck driver. I have watched all your videos and I love it. I am glad I get to travel at least visually and enjoy amazing food through your eyes.
Are you otr? If so, is it worth it? I was thinking of going otr to travel & make much more money but I think it'd be better with a girl.
You mean you are a an old stinky couch driver in your mom's basement?
@@Dave-nb1zz he possibly have less chance traveling and eating street food. but by watching the channel , he do not have to randomly eat street food which saves his money and time.
I f you are a truck driver then you get to travel not only visualy, probably you travel more than Mark?
You should get a little induction stove and get that hot pot rolling in your truck brother lol
Does anyone else eat while watching Mark? The guy at the end was funny and memorable 🌻
Yup I had me Wingstop: Cajun and Lemon pepper combo w/ fries. Watching him eat makes my food taste better😅.
Thank you Cindy!
Cooking and eating over there ! 🧅🌶️🧅🌶️🧅🌶️
I do. And i love it
Always save the videos till I eat
14:55 That’s shacha sauce, a common hot pot dipping sauce, made from soybean oil, garlic, shallots, brill fish and dried shrimp, can be mixed with any combination of sesame oil, soy sauce, black vinegar, green onion, sugar, crushed peanuts or peanut powder, hot peppers …etc.
Stop it. You're making me hungry.
U know shacha sauce too well
Shacha sauce is the Chinese version of satay sauce from Indonesia. Early Chinese immigrants went to Indonesia and learned it from Indonesia and brought their own version back to southern China.
It sounds like a heallthy Choice dinner I once had
stop pretending you are not the owner... you know all the secret ingredients 😒🙄👏👏👏
I stumbled on the second place late one night and it was so packed we had to try it. Best hot pot I’ve had in a long time. The owner chatted to us and every table and even made us his special sauce. Seriously Taiwanese are next level generous and kind.
To whom wants to visit Taiwan: If you like various types of food and good public transport, then Taipei is your best option. However, as long as you go to southern Taiwan (like Taichung or even Tainan) people there are more friendly, hospitable, and welcoming (just like the shopkeeper in the video.) You can have more street food choices. Mark’s trip arrangement is good because you can enjoy different local foods and customs from northern Taiwan to Southern Taiwan. I would suggest selecting Tainan as your next destination. Thanks for your video. Welcome to Taiwan!!!
I spend 6 months in Changhwa/Zhanghua/彰化 many years ago in my youth. That's the true Taiwan experience with such friendly people and delicious food.
I think you can tell it about most of countries.
@@deanzaZZR Great choice! Zhanghua is a fantastic city to enjoy Taiwanese street foods and local customs.
@@marcinzywy9444 Thanks for your comment. I agree with you. I think the difference might be that Taiwan is rather small, so you can experience different kinds of foods and local customs without spending too much time/cost on transportation.
Thanks for letting all of us know !!
The man actually loves street food style but still appreciates the luxury one ...anyone can tell how much down to earth Mark is.
Lots of love n respect from Pakistan 💚💚
Chen Shacha is one of my favorite hot pot restaurants. Tourists coming to Taichung are highly recommended to go to eat it. In the wintertime, the restaurant is truly packed and queued all the way down the alley.
Also the owner is a funny guy, always interacting with customers, like what he did in the video, even he’s not good at English, but he still tried to sing a bit national anthem.
Great to hear that Antony, I was impressed, really a fantastic place and great environment!
I don't skip even an advertisement he deserves so much love and support, best part is he is my eating partner,,,,, i watch his videos every time I eat, his first bite is always the most satisfying.
Gordon Ramsay: a little olive oil (pours in half a bottle). Mark Wiens: a little bit of that chilli oil (scoops up half of the cup)
Yeah l am surprise he can have big chunks of chili sauce and be ok. That stuff is strong. I eat it a lot though. I also like it (very) spicy.
😂😂😂😂 it wouldn't be Mark otherwise
NA TA INDIA H BEEF MILE NA PORKK
So nice..👍👍
gordon: a glug of olive oil
also gordon: *pours for 10 seconds*
Thank you Mark for coming to Taiwan, a small and beautiful country! ! Let the world see the great island of Taiwan!
Welcome everyone from all over the world to visit Taiwan
For those who said Mark likes EVERYTHING haha. Clearly, he thought the first place was just okay. If youve watched him long enough, you can tell when he doesn't like something. It's not just the body language or facial expressions, but he also doesn't talk as much
and for the price he paid... the place probably asked him not to film too much or rushed him, or even didn't felt authentic, he usually says something like the staff is so friendly but here not so much.
He gets paid for his reviews so I doubt he would be dissing the place.
Being honest this Taiwan tour has been the best you've ever done.
Love that the guy at the second place knows his English lingo 👌🏼
That 2nd hot pot spot would just melt my heart. Looks so homey, with so much variety! And the owner is a total jokester... love it 😂 You can tell Mark liked this place more!
I'm Taiwanese, this is the first video of your channel I've watched, really appreciate your introduction of street/ luxury hot pot in detail.
So happy how much time Mark is spending in Taiwan! And a good friend of mine raved about Taichung, so I'm especially pleased to see this!
So thankful too - thought he might just stick to Taipei like so many other food bloggers. Tainan is the heart of local Taiwanese dishes so hope he's going there too.
@kismet_ yes, would love to see some Tainan content! I'll take as many episodes in this country as I can get 😅
Amazingly delicious, especially when you get into that little Backstreet alley where it's authentic and not overhyped with modernistic complexities
The fact that we get free food & travel videos from Mark Wien on RUclips is truly priceless. 🙏🙏🙏
I love all kinds of HOT POT in Taiwan, Taichung have many famous HOT POT restaurants :) the street food Hot Pot 陳沙茶 is famous for "sacha 沙茶醬 sauce" , we will put garlic, soy sauce, green onion, sesame oil, and little chili to make our own sauce for every food. Normally we use two bowls of sacha sauce in one meal ^^
Wow thank you very much for the information!
Mark you got us through our quarantine days…every night during dinner your show is what we look forward to…now that pandemic is over, maybe we can finally visit those places in your video! Thank you! Keep doing what you’re doing!
Mark and family, that was fantastic. I so much want to try hot pot soon. Here in Tennessee I do not see many places but will find a dream hot pot location soon. The owner of the last place was awesome. No wonder people keep him busy. Your wife does such a fantastic job with the camera and your son seems to be so comfortable and well minded everywhere you go. I have been loving your videos for a couple of years now, keep up the great work.
Thank you very much Bill, really appreciate your incredible support over the years. Hope you can try hot pot soon!
Very interested to see all these Taiwanese hot pot dishes and compare with Korean hot pot, which I'm more familiar with. Makes me realize I really need to spend more time in Taiwan 😅 I was especially wowed by the duck hot pot from two episodes back!
臺灣火鍋種類超多😅
@Infiniti they really do! And we get to enjoy the benefits 🙂
Really enjoying the Taiwanese series. Hot pot looks fire. Once again great work.
This was a really good video. That owner was funny and how Mark rolled with it was awesome. He rolls with all the punches with joy on the videos. Hope he’s like that in real life!!!
Your son is the luckiest kid in the world. One day he will understand the cultural experiences he is having.
I’m from Thailand and we’re known for our food but I wanna try Taiwan food so much. The country got so much food culture.
Taiwan has all Chinese food all together！
@@原来是你-h8eTaiwan is part of China so they are Chinese.. which obviously makes them Chinese food
Taiwan & Thailand food/people are my favorite much better than japan
@@KissTheR1an Taiwan is NOT a part of China. And the better way to explain this is Chinese food culture is a part of Taiwanese food culture.
@@newclhe One China policy
hitting like immediately even though I can’t watch the video right away 😂
It's so amazingly friendly. And I love to see you never wasted a food in your dish. Btw, I am big fan of Michael!
I wouldn’t say I like following anyone, but Mark made something that made me follow this channel 😍 love it 😍
I wish this war in Ukraine is going to finish soon, and I will be able to travel again to taste those foods.
man, I am Taiwanese living abroad. Can't stand watching the video, it is so mouthwatering good and making me homesick instantly damnnn! little pro-tip, if the beef quality is good, make sure it is cooked only medium or medium-well max, never well-done :D
Mark, that sauce at the 2nd place is "sacha", which is a common base sauce for hot pot in Taiwan. You don't use it alone (I mean by all means do whatever you want but most people don't do that). You put it in your mixed sauce. It adds so much more flavors to the sauce.
@Commander Keen Not sure what you mean? Sacha and satay are two different sauces.
@Commander Keen no
it's totally different sauce
@Commander Keen No worries. I'm not certain about that origin but if it was modified, it was modified to suit Taiwanese taste. It's a Taiwanese sauce. Chinese don't eat hot pot with sacha, though I'm sure it's now available in some places in China, too.
@Commander Keen Just looked it up. You are correct. It was modified from satay!
@Commander Keen Just read a little more and you are actually correct again. It was originated in southern China. But the Taiwanese version has another twist to it. Ohhhhhh, how things evolve, modification after modification. 😂
He is so down to earth. I love seeing other countries and their food he let's me see both sides.
THANK YOU for going to Taiwan Bro!!! I used to live there studying mandarin many years ago, I MISS TAIWAN!!!!
Mark Wiens when he takes a bite out of anything edible:
🙂😃😖😮😯😳😄
i luv hot pot (shabu shabu): we do this at home with a fondu pot, friends have done this with portable plate and we have parties
some help shop, others help with chopping and prep other bring desserts.
try also chinese eggplant or butternut squash as well pumpkin
lotus root is good too.
the mushrooms: elephant ears, shihaki
other herbs cilantro
leafy : boc choy, boc sum and agrula and danileon
try the fish balls and fish like haddock/ sea bass diced good too
that fish sauce is good with sesame, soy sauce and rice wine vinegar.
at the end usually after eatng all the protient put in noodles and remainder of dipping sauces
Eating cup noodles while watching this hot pot 😂
Never forget that you can just add the options from the condiment bar into your hotpot broth. I love adding extra cilantro and chili oil in mine typically.
Everything that Mark tasted seems soooo yummy 😂😂😂😂
U interacting with the second restaurant owner was great. Do more of them. So funny he thought u guys are Japanese. Strange, this food practitioner never watched your videos. Hope he will be your next loyal subscriber.
I am so happy that you showed us the Fancy High end Hot Pot and the regular common Labouters Hot Pot in the same video.
I would treat a Girlfriend to the Fanct Hot Pot for a special occasion. But I love the cheaper alleyway food vendor alternative with authentic flavours.
Mark definitely liked the small shop over the big expensive $1k hot pot restaurant.
你來台灣ㄧ定要試試台灣的素食，種類多元又好吃，希望你在台灣期間可以吃的滿意又開心
Mark, out of kindness but do you ever feel like taking a break? Your content is always amazing, the food you show, the way you film it. Im def a fan of your stuff. But i wonder to myself, would Mark like a break from all this? kind of random i know, but just hope you are taking care of yourself with all the travel and eating in different countries. With love - Achoo
Really appreciate your kindness. Luckily lately I have been able to take some breaks. I'm able to film ahead and schedule videos (2 per week), which does allow me to have some time when I'm just spending time with my family. Thank you so much!
@@MarkWiens Thank you for the reply and glad to hear Mark! Cheers to more adventures!
Really, really great video. I love seeing new things thru your channel!
Mark eats as his son beats up grunts on Pokémon Go 😂 at 10:19
Welcome to Taichung. Currently staying here, but from LA.
TAIWAN is a very famous country for eating HOT POT
Mark, you are so amazing and surprise me to go to Taiwan Chen hot pot. That’s my favorite Taiwanese Traditional hot pot which has been open for at least 40 years!!
The best way to make sauce with raw eggs, garlic, soy sauce, green onions, sugar and chili in the sacha !
Glad to know you like this hot pot shop!
If you love street food, I think you will definitely love Tainan, the capital of food in Taiwan. Come to Tainan next time!
Mark, you are overcooking the beef, the perfect state would be still a little pink, and it's safe to eat it like that in Taiwan. Please try it again and you will experience another level.
The streetfood hot pot looks and tastes way better than the other one. And it's pocket-friendly. You can enjoy your food coz you'll not be thinking of your bill afterwards😅😂
I would love to try hot pot except here in the states it’s so expensive. Plus I’m in Ks and there’s not a lot of places here. This is why I love Marks videos because I can live vicariously through him. Great video. I always look forward to Marks videos and if there’s no new ones I get caught up on all the previous ones
Thank you very much Frannie!
In the states, my taiwanese friends will buy local groceries and make their own hotpot at home
So fresh beef, you overcook it, the boss will cry😭
We grew up doing the Taiwanese style hot pot at home. But in US, we just used a big slow cooker to keep the soup hot. At the end of the meal, the soup becomes very complicated in flavor and you are supposed to drink it.
Always smiling, travels the world, eats whatever he wants and still stays skinny…everything I ever wanted 😌😌😌
Haven't try both of that before. Will try it next time!
06:20 must be really spicy!
He was not too impressed with the first place, but you can tell he loved the second place he went to...
Yes I watch his body language and honestly his facial expressions.
Sign of the times…Bella my 13 year old daughter here in Chiang Mai said nothing during your vlog…then “wow check out those trainers” can’t wait for her to go back to school.
Because they brought the whole steak store... I wonder how much he had to pay just for a video... Lol
@@michaelnewme4567 He's got almost 10 mil subscribers, I'm pretty sure he can afford that meal.
But the second place cost more than the first place.
The place we go to here in Philly is $40 per person for all you can eat hotpot and BBQ. High quality meats and they have a huge variety of items. I don’t think I could ever go to a hotpot place where it’s not all you can eat 🤣
The owner of the 2nd restaurant is also very humorous...😀😃😄👏👏👏
I always click on the thumbs up on Mark's videos before watching - I know he'll never disappoint me (plus he's visiting my parents' homeland) 😍
your parents' homeland = your homeland lol, if you haven't been back to taiwan to try the foods there, you must
@@gryu325 My homeland is the country where I was born and grew up which is different to my parents. And yes, I have been fortunate to visit and try a lot of the dishes there.
Great to hear that, really appreciate it!
@@MarkWiens 😍
it was pretty obvious mark didn't like the first place all that much. then at the second place he was like OH WOW.
Hot Pot, Soup Dumplings, and Beef Noodle Soup are basically our versions of “Soul Food”.
Mark good to see you coming back to you roots 🙌🏿
I love hot pot. Mark's video makes Taiwanese style hot pot looks more delicious, the video shooting on the food, the voice from the boiling pot, leads every watcher craving on it.
Hope to meet you at Kaohsiung someday, where would be really satisfying , keep it up Mark！
a hot pot restaurant would be great in my country. again Mark loving your videos..
it's just boiling broth. your country doesn't have boiling broth?
You know the street hot pot won when Mark threw that yummy head tilt so hard!
The hotpot at the second place looked so good on its own…I’d be glad to eat it without the goodies being added to it!
Eating hotpot best start with Clear Soup Non Spicy (Pork Bones Soup, Chicken Carcass /Bones Herbal Soup / Light Watery Rice Porridge Soup). Seafood Dipping Sauce (best dip in fish fillet meat): Finely Chopped Parsley, Green Onion, Light Soy Sauce, Fried Garlic & Its Oil. General Chilli Dipping Sauce (My recepi): 1. Sambal Belacan Calamansi Chilli Paste (ready made in glass can sold in wet market or grocer mall) 2. Japanese Sukiyaki Chilli Sauce (Bottle available for sale in supermarket) 4. Tomato Ketchup 3. Fried Garlic & Its Oil 4. Light Soy Sauce 5. Finely Chopped Green Onion & Parsley
i'm a real big fan of this new production style you're doing mark, love the more technical analytical approach to your commentary.
It was the Gucci face mask for me!!! 😂
Wow, for me this is amazing, I've never seem it like this with the soups. Great idea.
love it. I think the fried beancurd only needs a few seconds for its optimal taste and texture😄
We love watching you and learning how best to film and really show the amazing food.
17:30 best people ever
WOW!! A lot of foods to offer!! Delicious chinese cuisine..Great adventure Mark and thanks for sharing
Mark, I am a pescatarian now, but I love to watch you enjoy! I live vicariously through your adventures. I miss traveling to Asia. The second restaurant is where I would want to be! Thanks for sharing!
and...SPICE RULES!😂
From his comments it was quite obvious that Mark had decided the second place was better before he even tried the food. It would be nice to discuss the food based on its merits and taste, rather than what "looks" more authentic.
the food is delicious, thank you for the very good introduction to asian cuisine👌🤩😋😋😋😋😋
the street hot pot looks so delicious !!
Hey Mark, if you love fresh Taiwanese beef with hotpot, A-Yu Beef Shabu Shabu in Tainan is the place you cannot miss. 😋
so excited to hear you trying out food in Taichung! I'm heading there in a week and was saw so much content for Taipei that I was thinking if Taichung was not covered!
These hot pots look delicious. Thanks for another great Video Mark🥳
Someone should educate Mark Wiens on how others eat hot pot. Add noodles at the end to soak in all the flavor. Don't overload the pot with ingredients because you can easily overcook some. That house sauce at the second place was meant for the meat. Have people make a variety of sauces to try. Suck the shrimp head for flavor. There is a much greater variety of vegetables to try: winter melon, fuzzy melon, etc... Same with meat and fish: fish slices, lamb, fish balls, etc...
Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
I swear Micha was a baby just a little bit ago... now he's serving himself hotpot.
thank you mark wiens for travelling Taiwen before I do :P
You know it's Mark Wiens if the reaction after having the first bite is "HMMMMMM! OH WOW!"
Are we all here just waiting for the: OH WOW... (description of texture and flavor) ?
I was surprised the second place was more expensive than the first..
I like the hot pot on the street, it is not only economical but also very relaxing to eat.
Epic historical episodes
10 million soon mark 🇯🇲👍🏾👍🏾
I think that is a Diamond level. Mark just might do it.
Great vid Mark. yeah, that Looks good. That beef looked very lean too.
Thanks for sharing 🙏. I’m drooling with all the scrumptious hot pots you are eating 👍🍲😬!
I love your video so much🥰
My lord, that meat rack at the fancy spot 😂 somebody could get hurt from all that beef! Not me though, I'd be fine 😅
Street food and luxury hot pot are two different types of dining experiences that cater to different tastes and preferences.
Street food is typically inexpensive, fast, and casual. It is often sold by vendors on the streets or in small stalls and is known for its unique flavors, authenticity, and convenience. Street food is usually easy to eat on the go, and it often reflects the local culture and cuisine of the area.
Luxury hot pot, on the other hand, is a more upscale dining experience that is usually served in restaurants or high-end establishments. It involves cooking raw ingredients, such as meats, seafood, and vegetables, in a hot pot of broth at the table. The broth is often flavored with spices and herbs, and diners can customize their own hot pot by choosing from a variety of ingredients and dipping sauces.
While street food is often associated with convenience and affordability, luxury hot pot is more about the experience and the quality of the food. Both options can be enjoyable, but they cater to different needs and preferences.
Now I regret not trying Taiwanese hotpot the last time I went there. 😅
