今年是閏月，所以秋天來得比較晚。最近不用開冷氣睡覺，終於有一點點冬天的感覺囉。天一冷相信大家就會想吃鍋，但吃火鍋總得呼朋引伴一大堆人才能開鍋好麻煩，這時候像我這種沒朋友的人，迷你小火鍋就是我的最佳良伴！

Because it's a leap month this year, autumn arrived late. Recently, I haven't needed the AC to sleep, finally feeling a hint of winter. When it gets cold, everyone craves hot pot. But organizing a big group for hot pot is troublesome. For someone like me with "no friends," a mini personal hot pot is the best companion!

每天路過的排隊名店
這家阿里郎迷你火鍋位於我每天到胖肉爺上班的必經之路上，在民權派出所跟中區國稅局之間這段梅川西路上。
說真的很不顯眼的地段，但每次用餐時間經過時看他們外頭都一大堆人排隊，心想一定有他厲害的地方。這天趁店裡比較沒事出門買東西的空檔，因為過了用餐時間不用排隊，於是就進去了解一下！

"Arirang Mini Hotpot" is located on my daily commute to work at Pang Rou Ye, specifically on the section of Meichuan West Road between the Minquan Police Station and the National Taxation Bureau. It's an inconspicuous spot, but every time I pass by during meal hours, there's a huge queue outside. I thought there must be something special about it. One day, taking advantage of a lull at work while running errands, and since it was past peak hours with no queue, I decided to go in and check it out!
傳統 U 型吧檯的石頭火鍋
這家店基本上跟一些傳統的迷你火鍋店沒啥兩樣，U 型吧檯配上高腳椅「一個蘿蔔一個坑」是標配。店裡以石頭鍋為主，他們也有賣火烤兩吃（可能是店名「阿里郎」的由來？），但有趣的是來這邊大部分的客人，都是吃台味超重的燒酒雞說~（後來我才知道這家店是以燒酒雞出名的啦！！！！真是有眼不識泰山！）

The shop looks like a traditional mini hotpot place, featuring a U-shaped bar counter with high chairs—classic personal seating. They mainly serve stone hotpot, and also offer a hotpot-grill combo (maybe that's why it's named "Arirang"?). Interestingly, most customers here order the very Taiwanese "Sesame Oil Chicken with Alcohol" (Shao Jiu Ji). I later found out that this place is famous for its Shao Jiu Ji! I was so ignorant!
價目表在牆上可參考，點餐還有菜單可畫，品項會比牆上詳細。雖然過了用餐時間，其實店裡還是很多人，然後冷氣超冷，連我都覺得應該要穿外套來，哈哈哈哈，真的會冷！

The price list is on the wall for reference, and there's a paper menu for ordering with more detailed items. Even past meal hours, the shop was still crowded. The air conditioning was super cold; I felt I should have worn a jacket. Hahaha, it really was cold!
調味料跟小園一樣，入座點完餐後，會拿到面前讓你自己加。第一次來就試試他們的沙茶，不然我吃火鍋是不太沾沙茶醬的。後來發現他們家的辣粉，還滿香滿好吃的唷。

Like at "Xiao Yuan," condiments are brought to you after ordering for self-service. Since it was my first time, I tried their satay sauce, even though I usually don't use it for hot pot. I later discovered their chili powder is quite fragrant and delicious.
牛肉火鍋 $250 的開箱體驗
牛肉火鍋 (250元)。第一次來消費，按照慣例先從牛肉吃起，250 元算是行情價。

Beef Hotpot ($250). As a first-timer, I followed my routine and started with beef. 250 NTD is a standard market price.
菜盤沒有另外出，而是炒完肉之後直接放進鍋裡再注入高湯，跟吃涮涮鍋不太一樣。也因為這樣，所以這家店沒有美美的菜盤可以拍。不過裡面的料還是挺豐富的，但要吃肉之前必須先把鍋裡的菜吃光，對於不太愛吃菜的人來說，是一種修行的表現！！！

There isn't a separate vegetable plate. After stir-frying the meat, they put the vegetables directly into the pot and add soup stock, which is different from Shabu-Shabu. That's why there are no pretty photos of a vegetable platter. However, the ingredients inside are quite rich. But you have to finish the vegetables before you can get to the meat—for those who dislike veggies, it's a form of spiritual practice!
丸類、餃類、凍豆腐等等元素一應俱全。這蛋餃應該是手工做的，內餡紮實還挺好吃；芋頭口感有綿，在湯裡煮久也沒散掉。

It has all the essentials: meatballs, dumplings, frozen tofu, etc. The egg dumplings seem handmade with solid filling and taste good. The taro is creamy and doesn't fall apart after long cooking.
因為是石頭鍋所以肉片會先幫大家爆香炒過，其實我過去不太喜歡店家幫忙炒肉，因為往往都炒太過頭肉質變很硬。不過阿里郎的肉其實沒有炒得很熟，顛覆我以往對店家炒肉的經驗。

Since it's a stone hotpot, the staff stir-fries the meat first to release the aroma. I used to dislike this because the meat often gets overcooked and tough. However, Arirang doesn't cook the meat too thoroughly during the stir-fry, which overturned my previous bad experiences.
吃完蔬菜下鍋輕涮幾下，牛肉肉質柔軟不老，對於檔次不是很高的牛肉火鍋片來說，這個水準真的棒，肉量也多！

After eating the vegetables, I lightly poached the meat. The beef was soft and not tough. For standard beef slices, this quality is excellent, and the portion is generous!
加點蛤蜊與美味結尾
蛤蜊 (50元)。雖然是很小顆，但是數量不少，拿來煉湯剛剛好。本來店家湯頭就還不錯，再經過蛤蜊加持過，整個味道又更鮮美。

Clams ($50). Although small, there were plenty of them, perfect for enriching the soup base. The shop's broth was already good, but with the clams added, the flavor became even more savory.
最後喝剩的湯頭拿來煮蔬菜跟粉絲，然後把那顆蛋打散打個蛋花來個 HAPPY ENDING~~~~
真的還挺好吃的一家店，每天排隊真的不是浪得虛名。然後再強調一次，他們家的招牌是.....燒....酒....雞...................... 🐔

Finally, I used the remaining broth to cook vegetables and glass noodles, then beat an egg into it for a "Happy Ending." It's truly a delicious shop; the daily queues are well-deserved. And let me emphasize again, their signature dish is... Sesame Oil Chicken (Shao Jiu Ji)...... 🐔
