As you might know, my favorite bakery on the planet is right here in New Taipei: Bake Code! And right across the alley from Bake Code is a cool place: Hot Pot City! There are other places with hot pots, but HPC looks so cool because their hot posts are, well, larger! And you can sit out on the patio by the fountain. And the hot pots are divided into mild and spicy by a cool yin yang symbol.
Every time I visit Bake Code, I remind myself to go try Hot Pot City, and today Joey, Kevin, Ada, Samuel & I finally did! 😀
