Nine Dragon Steamboat (九龙小火锅)

When we were back to the Shilin Station(士林站) from National Palace Museum (国立故宫博物院), we were attracted by the banner in front of a steamboat shop.

The steamboat looks good, don't you think so?
and price is cheap too!!

This shop is situated just beside the entrance of the Shilin MRT station. It was only 1pm and we were not really hungry but the picture of the banner is luring us towards that shop. Besides the banner, the price also attracted us. Since it's lunch hour and I wanted to try the spicy 'ma lak' steamboat, we decided to have our lunch here.

Menu

It was lunch hour and the shop is full of ppl, there were only 2 empty tables left. As soon as we were brought to our seats, another couple took the other empty table. All the tables were fully occupied!

Hmm, what shall we eat? All looks nice and yummy! On the menu you can see they have pork, beef, mutton, seafood, kimchi + tofu, fish, vege and Taiwan style spicy 'ma lak' steamboat. Finally FL decided to try the pork steamboat(猪肉锅) where else for me, of cos I want something hot and spicy.. I took the 'ma lak'(台式麻辣锅) steamboat.

Besides ordering the steamboat, you can also add extra stuff to your steamboat such as pork, beef, fish ball, tofu, duck blood (yierrrr..), mushroom and many many more.

I told FL if the 'ma lak' steamboat is nice, then we shall go for the proper a.k.a more expensive steamboat shop to try their 'ma lak' steamboat..hehe... After they've taken our orders, they asked us to go get the sauce and drinks ourselves..

Rice

Between the two steamboat we tried, we both prefer the pork than the spicy 'ma lak' steamboat. Although I love spicy food, but I'm not really used to their chili. It has a weird taste..Don't get me wrong, it's quite spicy, but it's just not my type of 'hot'. hehe...

Winter eat steamboat.. syok lar!! I don't have much complaint about the food, well, I think it's consider quite ok with the price like this. Don't you think so?
