Bee Pen Da's unique Curry Hot Pot uses a soup base
of old hen, JinHua ham, lean meat and other ingredients.
These are slowly stewed for eight hours. More than
20 Chinese medicinal herbs are then added before being
fried to make the curry powder. As you drink it, you
will not only discover a simple curry flavor, but also
a gentle, spicy taste. The basic hot pot costs NT$400;
beneath it there is dried ducks' blood and jellied
tofu. Customers can order items to add to the pot:
selections include beef (NT$330), sliced fish (NT$250),
and pig intestines (NT$250). Shrimp and egg balls (NT$250)
and yan dumplings are available. The chrysanthemum
honey tea is highly recommended (one pot for NT$160);
drunk with the curry pot, it helps to reduce internal
body heat. This restaurant has simple, yet fashionable
decorations, with a touch of Chinese style. On one
pane of frosted glass are the autographs of several
famous visitors. --By Selena Huang |
