Winter is Coming. Eat Something Warm.

    Does everyone feel the weather getting cold? I cannot forget that I was shocked by the temperature at the moment I got up on 10/10. (Because it was so cold that I remembered the date clearly.) I even thought it was already in November then. (XD) Winters in Taipei are very cold during the evening and very windy during the daytime. Winter is also a season that people easily get "calories." Give you some advice. If you are hungry now, have something first before you read this post.

Warm up your winter with mutton hot pot(羊肉爐)

    Gangshan(岡山) is famous for three things: mutton, honey and Broad Bean Paste(豆瓣醬).

    Gangshan has the great condition to keep mutton sheep. Therefore, the mutton is fresh, sweet and free from gaminess. The texture of the mutton is chewy and thus making it highly palatable.
    So, you can see many restaurant offering mutton food in Gangshan. (If you want to eat all the mutton hot pot restaurant in Gangshan, you have to eat it everyday for one year.) When the winter comes, you can always see happy friends and cozy couples, laughing around their hotpots as steam wreaths up and fogs up the windows like frost.

    Mutton hot pot has become a cold-season favorite for its hearty taste and warming properties. I think most of you usually have the mutton hot pot in this way(涮肉): scalding thin slices of meat in boiling water, and then take them out to be eaten after dipping in seasoning. But, there is a different way in Gangshan hot pot. It's  usually to see in the hot pot are cube mutton and mutton with bone or skin. And it is always eaten with the Broad Bean Paste.

    Eating the mutton hot pot can not only warm you up but also beneficial your healthy. Do you decide what your dinner is?

It's an activity hold by the government in 2012. They want to achieve the goal "One thousand people eat the mutton hot pot at once". =///=

P.S. The food is too local that I can't find an English video.><"
