WHY VISIT

Why add it to your itinerary?

01
Meat aroma from searing before the pot

Pork jowl is flame-seared for aroma before cooking in broth. Its springy crispness and faint charcoal note echo the freshness of peeled-chili soup.

02
A bowl of family flavor beside the hot pot

Braised pork rice carries the owner's wife's family recipe, using hand-cut pork belly for savory gelatinous richness that gives a hot-pot side a home-style flavor worth savoring.

THE STORY

The story behind this place

Cooking retirement into a restaurant

After retiring, the couple decided to turn the first floor of their home into Bai Guo Hui because they loved cooking and good food. From renovating through the trial opening, they prepared hot pots while listening to customers, then moved into full operation. Hidden in a residential area near Fuxinggang, the shop grew from their retired life together.

✨ AI Quick Take

百鍋匯 (Bai Guo Hui) is an individual hot-pot shop with neighborhood warmth in a residential area near Fuxinggang, Beitou, about a three-minute walk from 復興崗站 · Fuxinggang Exit 1. A retired couple converted the first floor of their home into the restaurant, offering multiple broths, meats, seafood, and sides, plus a self-service area for rice, sauces, drinks, and ice cream. Bright and spacious, it suits solo hot pot as well as family or colleague gatherings.

Dining room and atmosphere:Warm wood tones define the shop, while large windows provide natural light. Gray marble tabletops and designed lighting keep the room clean and comfortable. Seating includes a counter for solo diners and long six-person tables for groups, with generous room on and around each table. As a residential-neighborhood shop, it often welcomes nearby residents, and the owner's wife's enthusiastic greeting adds the familiarity of regulars coming and going.
Location and dining notes:The address is 台北市北投區新興路158巷14號. From 復興崗站 · Fuxinggang Exit 1, walk into the residential area for about three minutes. Rice, sauces, drinks, and ice cream are gathered in the self-service area. Deep pots make vegetables and meat less likely to overflow, but add ingredients in batches so each retains suitable doneness and texture.
● Side: Braised Pork Rice

This braised pork rice slowly cooks finely hand-cut pork belly to a deep sheen. The cubes have a smooth gelatinous quality, with savoriness more pronounced than sweetness. Braising sauce and pork fat coat the plump rice evenly for clear richness without excessive salt or heaviness. Its old-fashioned profile works between cooked meat and broth and adds satisfaction to the whole hot-pot meal.

● Premium Flame-Seared Pork Jowl

Thin slices of marbled pork jowl are seared over direct flame, then lightly cooked through in the hot pot. They retain a springy crisp bite with faint charcoal aroma. Fatty portions are not greasy and lean sections are not dry, echoing the clean kick of peeled-chili broth. Eat with peeled chili or pea shoots from the platter to layer meat sweetness, broth fragrance, and vegetable crunch.

● Premium American Flat Iron Beef

Flat iron beef slices are red, evenly marbled, and cut with some thickness. Once cooked in the pot, they stay tender with a springy chew, preserving their beef flavor in the broth. With mildly spicy Korean kimchi-tofu soup, kimchi's tang and freshness cut through the fat while tofu absorbs the broth, connecting meat, soup, and accompaniments.

● Small Surf-and-Turf Pot

Small Surf-and-Turf Pot combines prawns, fish slices, clams, and pork so seafood and meat can alternate in the broth. Cooked fish is springy, tender, and fresh; clams are plump and juicy; pork stays soft rather than dry. In gently sweet, restorative herbal broth, a little rice wine served alongside concentrates the steam and aroma, delivering both sea and land in one pot.

Uncle's take: Neighborhood hot pot need not be fancy. Gentle broth, honestly cut meat, and a bowl of home-scented braised pork rice make a meal easy to return to.
💡 Ordering note
