Questions about Yin Yang Hot Pot
What is a yin yang hot pot?
One pot divided down the middle by a metal partition, so two broths cook side by side without mixing — almost always a numbing, spicy 麻辣 broth on one side and a mild one on the other. It exists so that a table can share a pot even when not everyone eats chilli.
How do I order one?
Say 鴛鴦鍋 when you pick the broth, and the shop brings the divided pot instead of a single one; most hot pot restaurants charge the same as a normal pot or a little more. You then order plates of meat and vegetables for the table and cook them on whichever side you like. Expect NT$300–700 per person.
