Hot Pot / Walk through Xinyi District by night



Today I was invited by a coworker to have Hot Pot with his friends in one of the best Sichuan Restaurants in Taipei. On my way there I saw some interesting places in Xinyi district.

 Hot Pot

Hot Pot is describing a dish, where a pot of stew, spiced in various ways, is kept boiling and different types of ingredients are being cooked in it. We had fish, dumplings, vegetables and different kinds of beef.

Old Sichuan is a very beautifully decorated restaurant. The service was incredible. Every 10 min a waiter came to fill up the Hot Pot and bring new ingredients to cook.

Lovely people sharing this amazing dinner with me
