鍋HoMe即享鍋 — Restaurant in Datong District

as i'm re-watching Matrix Resurrections for the 5th or 6th time (just playing in the background or on a phone on HBO Go) & every time it has had the magical power to put me to sleep

& as NPH talks modal to Keanu i feel the same about hot pot places in taiwan -- how does one differentiate ?

aren't they all the same -- tw ice cream none too creamy a tea or a juice on tap unlimited rice 🍚 that ox 🐂 brand oyster sauce & chilies & garlic & scallions & occasionally soup

so what did i like about this place other than it was close to my stop ?

well i liked the stocky twins running front of house & back till mom showed up -- da boys had a jolly devil may care vibe & as i riced up i overhead : (mom or manager to chef -- but this seems a role any of 3 takes on)

so you like sitting outside huh ? -- to check out girls, right ?

& the chef admitted so & the other boy (man, friend or sibling) cracked up

the whole place warmed by their joviality

i had the kimchi pig 🐖 with egg 🥚 plenty of veggies per any hot pot place soup base ain't spicy just stock stock rice was stock turn the knob to middle for max heat then single flame very bottom of dial then off when you're down to dregs

a dad & son (from gym next door) buff & buffer came in & got plates of extra meat -- maybe that Paleo diet

couples came in -- seemingly at least 1 always orders same as i kimchi rules as Kpop rules

warm & happy welcome to all

ya know how Hemingway wrote of a clean well-lighted place ?

i think that's all a hot pot place needs be :

a clean well-lighted place warmed by a happy crew of people who like to have people dunk meat into soup & sauced in oyster

ice cream was better than average too

its location (& really it's all about convenience) recommends itself :

if you're close to beimen mrt or coming out of the Y underground shops from taipei main mrt then HoMe gets the job done all the way till near midnight -- nightly

& that gym next door is new & alright

i had my fill didn't have room for more ice cream the Ponytail tucked in hat fella watching gaming & variety show on his phone got up to pay round the same time

& one of the boys came round to cash -- mom had gone & when not serving or cooking the boys seem content to chill & chat

Good Buds Good Vibes

天氣逐漸轉涼轉冷，此時若來上一鍋熱呼呼的鍋🥰那真的就是超幸福的(哈哈哈)~這家是先前租屋在附近所偶然看到的，販售的是比一般小火鍋再小份量的鍋物，其實就是像市面看到的"大呼×癮"或是"×媽臭臭鍋"這類，以前在它剛開時人潮並不多，後來幾次後跟室友決定去試試，意外覺得還滿不錯吃，環境也相當乾淨，服務也都滿不錯，有提供冰飲但只有兩種，一種冬瓜茶一種則就是冰茶這類，另外這也有冰淇淋提供，是四種口味，不外乎基本就草莓、巧克力、瑞士巧克力、優格，雖不是大品牌但我覺得口感味道也不差，重點是150的費用能有這樣選擇算滿好的，不過我也必須說最近去消費發現有漲五元了😅但味道還是沒變，有維持著👍只是這次去用餐有不好感受，就是跟店家場外阿姨說用餐兩人後，阿姨回覆說好我就跟朋友便外面等，豈料等了15分鐘左右有對情侶進店裡便也跟她說兩人就隨即看到位子就坐，阿姨也沒阻止或是其他動作，反而直接幫對方點餐，這讓我看了十分疑惑跟不高興，便直接詢問阿姨，得到回覆竟是說我沒有跟她說要用餐😑我超級傻眼，那為何回我好？就算真的如此客人站在門口一直看都不主動詢問？頓時我本來相當開心回來附近時想專程來用餐的心情整個變得超差😤我覺得適度道歉我可以接受忘記，只是沒想到當下是被直指我的錯，這真的讓我氣到；一家店能夠撐起來並且有所穩定實屬不容易，尤其疫情期間，我很清楚也懂這樣的辛苦畢竟我以前也有過這樣經驗，所以，我認為要更謹慎小心去經營每個細節，我還是會去消費用餐的，只是希望既然產生問題就改善問題解決問題，希望再次到訪不會再有這般不...

Loveeee the hotpot! We paid NT 170 for the shacha pot and an additional NT 90 for extra veggies (there’s a minimum spend), staff are very friendly, and the price includes rice sauces, ice cream and...
