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!!!

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 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.

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

Being honest this Taiwan tour has been the best you've ever done.

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 💚💚

Love that the guy at the second place knows his English lingo 👌🏼

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.

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!

The fact that we get free food & travel videos from Mark Wien on KZread is truly priceless. 🙏🙏🙏

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

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

Your son is the luckiest kid in the world. One day he will understand the cultural experiences he is having.

I’m Taiwanese from Taichung city I can say the hot pots and barbecue restaurants are the features of Taichung. And the Chen satay hot pot is in the ancient area of Taichung I prefer Liu satay hot pot which is just next to this restaurant.

Amazingly delicious, especially when you get into that little Backstreet alley where it's authentic and not overhyped with modernistic complexities

We love watching you and learning how best to film and really show the amazing food.

Can't believe Mark is so close to 10M.. keep bringing the amazing videos..

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!

Wow, for me this is amazing, I've never seem it like this with the soups. Great idea.

Always a pleasure to watch your videos.

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

Great video! The boiling "hotpot" sound effect you added made for a more immersive experience as well. Great job.

I will be in Taichung in January and we will for sure check these places out. Cannot wait to meet the owner of the second place!

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.

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 🤣

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!

hitting like immediately even though I can’t watch the video right away 😂

Hope to meet you at Kaohsiung someday, where would be really satisfying , keep it up Mark！

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.
