One day we were in the Shilin District of Taipei and ready to have lunch. After doing a search on Foursquare, I found a shabu shabu hot pot restaurant nearby and we decided to check it out. Hot pot is one of the most popular meals in Taiwan, and I especially like it because it’s fun to cook, and it’s a good way to eat - plus you get to eat delicious sauce!
Here’s the restaurant: foursquare.com/v/%E5%AF%8C%E6...
The restaurant was pretty local Taiwanese style, and the menu was all in Chinese, so I just ordered a plate of pork for my wife, and a plate of beef for me. The plate of vegetables came complimentary, and the beef came in thin rolls. The soup was plain, but boiling hot and we each had our own hot pot.
One of the things I really liked about 富樂台式涮涮鍋 is that they had an all you can eat sauce bar - so you could get a bowl and then pile in as many things as you wanted into your sauce - I chose garlic and chilies, and some kind of dark sauce.
Overall, my wife and I both really enjoyed out meal at this hot pot shabu shabu restaurant in Taipei, and I’d recommend it to you if you’re in the area.

[@swissfoodie3542]

I love every kind of Hot Pot, and Shabu Shabu is really great

[@riahsunga6804]

amazingly good i love shabu-shabu

[@JL-qf3hq]

Love to see it! This is on the pricier side, typical everyday meals range from $2-5 USD, but it’s something we would eat casually no matter the weather. For $10-15 you’ll eat like a king 😎

[@FurryKing19]

I envy him so much... not just the fact that he travels so much but also what he eats and that he enjoys it all... I hate seafood... and a few other things he eats.. I do not think I could enjoy those... but I envy him so much....

[@algindelacruz4656]

This was amazing mark :)

[@vacationboyvideos]

really neat! reminds me of places u can grill your own food.

[@cw00000]

Mark, I really enjoy your videos! I was pleasantly surprised to discover that you have traveled to Taiwan! Native Taiwanese here. I feel obligated to write a comment for this video because I just feel like you should’ve used the Taiwanese satay sauce that was sitting at the condiments table. I hope it wasn’t a deliberate choice to leave it out because from other videos you have always been willing to try everything! The Taiwanese style satay sauce is really good. I believe it would’ve made your hot pot experience 100x better!!!

[@user-yo3oz9db5w]

I go to Taiwan tomorrow!!!!Your videos very interesting:)thank you!!!!

[@MarkWiens]

+まりたけ cool, have a great trip!

[@Beadacut_]

I love your videos sir. :"> I definitely visit taiwan . Watching your videos makes me wanna go in taiwan right now haha.

I love your love for spice, I love spicy foods too, its too bad my stomach can't handle it.

[@alexgyqTVx]

Looks like a hearty meal. :D Really good for its price too!

[@watchAirwave]

Mr. Mark : ur videos r very informational n tasty (esp. thai food in details, learned alot here. tks ! Im a big fan now fr. Taiwan ^^v. btw 'shabu shabu' does mean the hotpot in japanese (meaning dipping slices of meat into hotpot few secs. eating this way to keep the fresh meat taste.) Yes, the cold fried pork ribs u ate by accident r meant to be into hot soup rt in the beginning till at least 5 mins to enrich flavors of hotpot as well as many other ingridients. The sauce for tradi. taiwanese r the sacha sauce (in the silver can)as main addins + white minced raddish + soysauce + touch of sesame oil + pnut powder + spring onion + ur fav choices then mixed well. Sacha is the main key ingrid. for sauce. tks again. will stay tune n thumb up for ur vdos.

[@mobilelegenddllancerous1463]

Malaysia call steamboat or in chinese word is 火锅,but i like it the style u eat make me hungry and i love travel to taiwan too plus love your every video you post..

[@goonerp.7131]

Great video Mark! Your reaction when you ate that pork was hilarious hahaha

[@MarkWiens]

+Erron P. Thank you Erron

[@jcastro91235]

Gooner P. It was 😂

[@barrelrolldog]

dude your sauce was insane hahahaa but i think you forgot the 'sha cha' sauce! thats the best one!!

[@Applutree]

The tin can on the right side of the screen @1:04 is Bull's BBQ sauce. Essential to any Taiwanese hotpot! Next time you get a chance, you should definitely give it a try.

[@vm11882]

Looks good!

[@danielgrace7887]

The sauce looked awesome!

[@tchiang3491]

+Wen Kai Wu, 1. Hot pot is originated in northern China thousands year ago. 2. Following the Sino-Japan war (1894) for Korea, Taiwan was ceded to Japan by Manchurian government till the end of WWII.

[@nijokongapally4791]

Taipei dishes very delicious😋💯👍 good video👍💖😍

[@janine729118]

Mark, when I saw you put the cold pork chop in your mouth, I scream "NO~~~" in front of the screen. lol

[@E.Valley]

Hi Mark, the cold Fried Pork Chops shuold be put into the boiled soup for adding more flavor.

[@SewnathGreedharry]

That's amazing.

[@pnoyride]

Hi Mark and Ying!! I love hotpot!! That beef is so tender it really melts in your mouth..The vegetable looks really fresh..I think that what we gonna eat tonight since its Friday..hehehe..I just ate my lunch but now I'm hungry again..lol..Thanks Mark and Ying for sharing! Elwyn

[@MarkWiens]

+pnoyride Thank you Elwyn, have a good Friday night!

[@buddhikaj4011]

Woooow this hot pot thing is superb.....

[@PrinceofSaiyans]

haha Mark, you supposed to cook the fried pork chop thing too!!

[@MarkWiens]

+CHballer1 Yes!

[@ladycarolynb2450]

I really like hot pot they are very fresh and the broth from it is really good especially if it's a cold day.🍲

[@MarkWiens]

+Lady Carolyn “Catta” B Definitely, I fully agree

[@jojielaredo2066]

I love it! You really like chili sauce!

[@a727940]

That cold deep fried pork is 排骨酥(pai gu su) it should be cooked in the hot pot again But, you can find them freshly deep fried in the night market as well

[@a727940]

There's two way to have them 1) deep fried and put in soup or hot pot 2) eat them after deep fried

[@a727940]

Taiwan was colonized by Japan during WW I to WW II. So Taiwanese food is kind of a combination of Chinese, Japanese and aboriginal food.

[@mirkomueller3412]

Strange - this video caught me so intense that i was sure i could smell the food. Thumbs Up !

[@davcama4540]

That beef looks soooo GOOOD!!

[@MarkWiens]

+Dav Cama Thanks!

[@Obelixlxxvi]

I love the sauce...gimme fresh garlic and green/ red chillies any day!

[@chiyeh]

quick tips: next time add the satay sauce to your sauce mix. also, veggies go in first to flavor to soup.

[@jasonthaddeus5925]

Not really agreed with your 1st opinion but I'll add one the tofu should be the last coz tofu is fast to be cooked

[@chiyeh]

+Jason Thaddeus I'm sure everyone does it differently, but many in Taiwan do the soy sauce+satay+green onion+raw egg yolk (optional). Also, tofu is supposed to be cooked longer than you think because it needs to absorb the flavors of the soup. It's not just about how quickly it's cooked.

[@denisebryant613]

+Chi Yeh u

[@charliechang7186]

Funny ! Mark! even you made a few errors in this ShabuShabu place (my favourite hangout in Taipei), but still very nicely put. Excellent videos, and best regards to u and Ying. Hope to bump into u on Bangkok streets.

[@justjacqueline2004]

So yummy!

[@greatgaurav2001]

See you on the next food video .... Yes we will !!

[@ipaapi]

looking at you eat is making my stomach growl.. i am hungry!

[@kulupingerzi]

Never had shabu shabu. But it looks good! 👌

[@user-ty1ed7jk1t]

那真的很辣 厲害

[@inlovewiththerepublicoftai4929]

I can't wait to come back in Taiwan 🇹🇼😀

[@phil_boev]

great video, as always! I wonder how spicy and how garlicy you eat in comparison to standard european spicy and garlicy. keep the good work up, greetings from germany!

[@MarkWiens]

+phil boe Thank you Phil!

[@seijoscha]

Hello Mark and Ying great video as always. I love shabu shabu, or China Hot Pot. For me the most important is a very good meat quality, and the self-mixed sauces. Sauces are important for the taste. The difference between China Hot Pot, and Taiwan Shabu Shabu is big . The chili broth in China Hot Pot is much hotter ,than the Shabu Shabu! But both taste delicious. Great video. Keep it up. From me always thumbs up.

[@MarkWiens]

+joschi starke Thank you Joschi, you're right about the meat, the quality of the meat really makes all the difference.

[@E.Valley]

Hi Mark, you made me homesick though. The secrets of the hot pot base of the soup is "sugar cane juice". One of the Best hot pots in Taipei. BTW, the soft long thing is fish cake, and the dark brown thing are fried pork rib should be cooked into the hot pot, you can't just chew then directly.

[@MsKpopmania]

Mark only u can make eating veggies look soo goood .! :-P M sure they taste good too though .! Lov ur videos

[@jaysonlabayani8061]

im happy for mark Wien,😊😊😊

[@puspalmondal654]

[@takehikomori4559]

Ah, shabu shabu is so popular in Japan too, but Taiwanese one looks so tasty & exciting! Hooray!

[@MarkWiens]

+Takehiko Mori Thanks!

[@VernasKitchen73]

[@fuzzynyan]

@3:38 I've never laughed so hard at a Wiens face OMG 😂

[@BAdventures]

I love hot pot, great fun and you end up with a tasty soup. Wow you like your chilli =)

[@MarkWiens]

+B Adventures Thanks, good to hear you like it too!

[@marcocheng1226]

B Adventures Travel Vlogs ii

[@jcastro91235]

B Adventures Vlogs never had that but love love to go to one here in California

[@ginchieng]

on 0:51 when you are taking shots of the sauces, you should add the one on the corner left called sacha (沙茶）which is an iconic sauce for hotpot in taiwan. when i was little when we ate hotpot at home, we may not have all the garlic, vinegar sauce, or hot sauce, but we will always have sacha. its a chinese bbq sauce that has a very distinct taste! hope you have an opportunity to try it one day :) it is game changing ;)

[@terrypalmore7314]

That looked delicious! and $7.30 is so reasonable to feed two. Did Ying get some of the beef? I love boiled cabbage and with hot chillies and garlic...SUPER YUM! Thanks for the good video. Made me hungry for hot pot!

[@MarkWiens]

+terry palmore Thanks Terry, Ying had a plate of pork, but also had some of my beef.

[@tersliify]

Would you please explaine more about the vege in thailand. I hear you talking about morning glory and I want to know what that is. and: thai-herbes and veggies and so on. LOVE youre channel! Sorry about the spelling..

[@aodflash]

omg, the sauce dipping... so deep

[@allentlee1]

Lolz, Mark's facial expression with the fried pork

[@mackztynne]

Haha

[@iamraki4346]

how can somebody unlike this video. lol i cant imagine.. food is everything ya know.

[@pako_nam]

I need such a pot like that so I can eat shabu shabu every day at home (or at least twice a month)! :3

[@nancyfinlayson689]

Just found out from another site, that "Shabu-shabu, is Japanese for 'hot pot'. On your video of it, I was waiting to hear and see this new ingredient!! Lol

[@donnacopas9621]

Mark, Everything looks great. That sauce looked so so hot. Your mouth must be on fire!

[@BChen0923]

You should come to visit South part of TW, I will show your around the real Food in South part of Taiwan. It tastes Yammy......

[@leavemealoneok1970]

I LOVE hot pot...I am diabetic so I can make mine with all veggies, meats and seafood...with extra spicy broth of course

[@cristinarzon6682]

[@joelitros22]

Hi mark, u should try the "mole" its rice chicken and a delicious sauce(mexican food) I recommend u try it, it's delicious

[@MarkWiens]

+JOJO LOPEZ Hey Jojo, I've had it a few times with some friends in the US, but I would love to go to Mexico to eat it!

[@jcastro91235]

🤣love Marks expressions lol

[@308_Negra_Arroyo_Lane]

This isn't the same quality as the other hot pots, you can tell from the price, the food, the broth, and most importantly, the expression on his face.

[@MarkWiens]

+Walter Black Yup, i think this was more of an everyday hot pot

[@yilinlai2037]

My friend in Taiwan told me you can have a wide variety of hotpots in Taiwan, ranging from like cheap normal ones to better, fancier and more flavourful ones. So it's really about how much money you want to spend for the hotpot apparently.

[@laurscrayz1]

Great video once again, Mark! Did you ever figure out what that cold fried pork thing was? Was it better after you boiled it in the hot pot?

[@MarkWiens]

+Laura Schmidt Hey Laura, I believe it was fried pork, and it was definitely supposed to be cooked in the soup.
