Shi Er Guo is a hot pot branch in Taipei's Xinyi District. Its basic shabu-shabu broth comes with meat and vegetables, and the dipping sauce is made by mixing chili, minced garlic, grated radish, scallions, and vinegar. Customers enter their party size at an outside kiosk, take a number, mark their menu choices, and order at the counter. On weekend evenings the wait to get in runs long.
