The popular Kaohsiung restaurant Dazhai Gate Duck Head Dry Pot has expanded northward with a new store in Taipei. Fans of duck head dry pot in Taipei can celebrate — Dazhai Gate’s Dunhua branch will officially open on May 7th. In addition to the classic duck head dry pot, you can now also try the spicy red meat dry pot. After finishing your duck head pot, you can repurpose the broth into a spicy hotpot, adding vegetables, seafood, mutton, beef, and more for a second delicious meal experience.

Dazhai Gate’s duck head dry pot is an improved version of the Sichuan-style dry pot. The duck heads are first marinated in a secret blend of seasonings to infuse flavor, then simmered in a special braising sauce. It's cooked with a variety of spices such as red chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and star anise, and stewed with a mix of premium Chinese medicinal herbs and aromatic spices. The final dish is further refined with a rich mix of ginger, scallions, garlic, and other seasonings.
