We have a lot of Hot Pots all over Manila but Double Tasty Taiwan Hotpot 台灣蒸火鍋 is the first to distinguish itself as Taiwanese.
Actually, we've have a lot of Taiwanese in the Philippines. One of my childhood neighbor is Taiwanese and the grade school and high school I attended was run by Taiwanese nuns and priests. But, it is only recently that we see Taiwanese Cuisine in Manila demarcating itself from Chinese Cuisine.
Truth be told, the difference is not that big since Taiwanese Cuisine is mainly influenced by Chinese Cuisine, most notably from the south of Fujian (Hokkien/Fukien) where most Filipino-Chinese or Tsinoys like me descend our ancestry from.
Let's track back the Taiwanese Cuisines we've shared here in the past:
Now let's continue with the addition of this Taiwanese Hot Pot entry with Double Tasty. The casual appeal is similar to usual the typical Chinese restaraunts in Manila China Town (Binondo).

Seafood 海鲜
This is our first time to try a seafood served in a layered Steam Pot style. It was a very good experience. This method of cooking is capable of preserving the natural flavors of the fresh seafood ingredients.
Of course, Steamed Lapu-Lapu has always been a staple order for Tsinoys.

Although Double Tasty specializes Hot Pot, it also offers a must try Home-Made Dumpling. Because it is included in the checklist for Hot Pot, we ordered this intended to be an add-on to the broth but it turns out that its best eaten on its own.
Adding Mixed Vegetables is the secret to a sweeter broth.
You can't go wrong with any of their selections.
We were suppose to order the Crab Claw but I guess we got the Fish Dumpling instead.
Imported Meat 进口肉类
Just by looking at the Beef Superior, you can see the beauiful marbling.
But, strips of fats of Beef Premium are well-appreciated as bang for the buck too right?
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
The satisfaction of a hotpot relies mainly on the broth and the ingredients. Since they have fresh and and quality ingredients and hands down the best sate broth in Manila, we really loved our dining experience at Double Tasty Taiwan Hotpot 台灣蒸火鍋.
