Why hot pot fits Taipei so well
Hot pot is both food and pacing. It slows you down, gives you a long, warm dinner window, and turns a day’s worth of walking into a satisfying finale.
If your trip has been snack-heavy, hot pot is a great ‘sit down and reset’ meal.
How to plan a hot pot night
Schedule it as your main dinner. Do a light afternoon café and maybe one dessert, then go into hot pot hungry but not starving. The best experience is unhurried.
