WEITEE HERBAL HOT POT 255, TaiYuan Road, section1, 1F (near corner of NingXia Rd.)

--By Niang Chen, translated by Cara Steenstra

Weitee's interior decor is attractive, with a high ceiling and gorgeous tasseled drapes separating the tables. The restaurant exudes an air of quiet elegance the moment you step through the door and leave behind hustle of bustle of the city. Herbal hot pots here are prepared with selected herbs imported from Germany. The carefully calculated ratio of herbs creates a near-perfect blend of texture, health, nature and freshness, with a lasting floral and herbal aroma. The most popular choice here is the Rosemary and Tomato Pot. The rich tomato soup base contains the alluring fragrance of rosemary and a pleasingly light flavor. The Lemongrass and Milk Pot combines lemongrass, milk and a blend of herbs. After cooking your meat and vegetables in the soup, what is left over is a delicious concoction that you will drink one mouthful after another, so that even your breath is fragrantly herb-scented. There is a great choice of main dishes--such as top-grade beef, pork, lamb, seafood or combination--all priced between NT$220 and NT$480. Enjoy your meal with a selection of fruity sauces, sesame paste or Japanese-style mustard sauce, depending on your choice of meat. Each table gets free imported German herbal tea and Green Papaya and Apple Ice slushies.
