Simply put, there’s nothing like hot pot in Taiwan. In this episode of Taiwan Top 5, Canadian YouTuber Luke Martin tastes the top five hot pots in one of the most LGBTQ-friendly parts of Taipei — Ximending. With a series of hot pots including Taiwanese Mala hot pot, northeastern Chinese hot pot (sour cabbage-infused), Japanese-style beef sukiyaki and a fusion buffet hot pot (just to name a few), Luke is in awe of how much meat he can devour in one day. Luke is joined by Jenny Luo, host and producer of a brand-new show on TaiwanPlus called “Anything Goes with JL.” Jenny shares her experience going all around the island meeting new people, tasting new food, and attending events like never before. But most importantly, just as the name “Anything Goes” suggests, Jenny is up for the challenge of eating five hot pots in a day with foodie Luke Martin. As a fan of hot pot all year round, Jenny not only leads the way, but she even demonstrates how she elevates the hot pot experience with her secret sauce!
