Veggie Market Hot Pot (Minsheng North Road) Introduction
A down-to-earth Taiwanese retro new dining trend. The newly opened Shuying Market Hot Pot on Minsheng North Road offers an all-you-can-eat vegetarian hot pot experience, incorporating the atmosphere of a traditional market into the dining environment. With a focus on "health," it features an all-you-can-eat vegetarian menu for 300 TWD, providing around 40 types of fresh vegetables, eggs, tofu products, and rice noodles. Guests can pick ingredients from a self-service counter, creating the illusion of shopping at a market, which makes the vegetarian culture more accessible. The interior decor embraces a retro Taiwanese style, with familiar old-fashioned plastic bowls on the tables, and boldly declares, "The outcome of vegetables and meat is up to you." There are six types of refreshing soup bases available, including some rare options like black pearl corn, sweet bell peppers, and water chestnuts. Open daily from the evening until midnight, with lunch service added on weekends, it has become a new option for late-night snacks in Chiayi. Meat lovers need not worry, as a variety of meats and seafood are available for a la carte selection. If two people dine together after 10 PM, they receive an additional serving of meat or clams. The owner mentioned that when customers express surprise at how satisfying vegetables can be, it makes all his efforts worthwhile.
