This classy-looking restaurant helps introduce Taichung diners to yet another variation on the popular hot pot theme. Featuring Hong Kong-style hot pot, Cheng Teh Hsin provides built-in table cooking stations, divided into two halves for two different types of cooking broths, one mild and other with a stronger, Southeast Asian satay flavor. Unlike conventional hot pot places which simply start with boiling water, these stews are brewed for hours and prepared with all kinds of medicinal herbs and spices. The other cooking items (red meats, seafood, vegetables, tofu, etc.) are similar to elsewhere and may be ordered off the menu individually or through set-menu group specials (for two to six people, averaging NT$400/500 per person) or 'business meals', available all hours of the day and costing between NT$220 and NT$340 per person. The restaurant is located in a basement resembling a fancy wine cellar--on Ying Tsai Road opposite the SoftChina software store at the Kung Yi/Ying Tsai intersection--and serves food until 4 a.m.
