Feeling the cold and missing spring already? ❄️

It's that time of year again when hot pot is perfect! (Though I could eat it all year round, hehe) This place just opened near my house. It used to be a chain restaurant called 'Mala Storm' that had been around for over ten years. The owner closed it down recently due to personal reasons, and the new management took over, selling individual hot pots under the new name 'One Pot Spring'. The dining atmosphere inside is quite relaxing, and the space is really spacious without feeling cramped. I personally love it haha, it's so comfortable to just sit in an inconspicuous corner and quietly cook my hot pot 😁👍 The best part is that the food is genuinely fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The meat for the main course is sliced to order, and it's so tender and delicious when cooked! The vegetable platter is almost entirely fresh, healthy vegetables. After eating too much rich food the past few days, it was perfect for something light to cleanse the palate 😋 I ordered the pepper tonkotsu soup base that day. The tonkotsu flavor itself was pretty good, but it was a bit of a shame that the pepper flavor was a bit too overpowering, making it taste a little salty. Next time, I might try the original flavor or the pumpkin milk hot pot that others have recommended, which might suit my taste better. But overall, it was still great~ There are many kinds of drinks in the store. I seriously counted, and there are definitely over 20 types. You'll definitely get tired of drinking them all 🤣 Finally, I tried the 'cabbage-boiled-egg' technique that was super popular recently, and it was a huge success! A half-cooked poached egg paired with unlimited refills of braised pork rice from the self-serve bar was just heavenly 🥳 The cheapest individual hot pot here is only 268 NTD, which is quite affordable haha (even though I'm usually the one complaining if it's over 150 NTD 🫣) If you have the chance, you should definitely give it a try 👍
