--By Douglas Habecker, translated by Jean Huang

This restaurant focuses on providing a more formal dinner and late-night dining experience for savoring some exquisitely prepared pot-style cuisine. Located in the attractive, two-floor building once home to Min Yue Hong Kong Restaurant, it can hold up to about 240 people, with tables seating four to six downstairs and up to 10 upstairs. As the restaurant's Chinese name makes very clear, the specialty here is traditional Shenzhen-Zhuhai (Cantonese) style pots, especially the "Hua Diao" Chicken Pot (NT$380 small/NT$680 large). Fresh, tender chicken legs and wings are marinated in various sauces and 10 ingredients before being deep fried with hua diao wine and mixed with fresh vegetables and red/green peppers. The covered pot is placed before diners for three to five minutes, before being uncovered to allow the fragrant aromas escape. Wait staff then mix ingredients further. After the main ingredients are consumed, noodles, tofu "skin", veggies and other items are added with a soup base for a final broth. A specialty from the same origins is the Macau Bone Pot (NT$480, NT$780), a hard-to-find dish that is reputedly very healthy. The strong-flavored Spicy Crab Hotpot (NT$880) is another draw, made with a large crab and 20 different ingredients, mostly imported from Sichuan. During the opening period, those purchasing NT$2,000 or NT$5,000 in dining coupons will respectively get an additional NT$1,000 and NT$3,000 in coupons free.
