无老锅 (Wulao Guo / Elixir Health Pot) is one of the most prestigious hot pot restaurants in Taipei and also a spin off of the famous 鼎王麻辣鍋 (Tripod King).
Two kinds of soups are available: Layered Tofu White Soup (with Ice Cream Tofu) and Spicy Wulao Soup.
Wulao Guo uses a traditional cooking method which involves boiling down ingredients such as chicken bone, large pork bone, onion, scallion, ginger and garlic to draw out their flavors and essences. This creates a milky broth, full of collagen and tastes naturally sweet.
Then, over a dozen of Chinese herbs and spices are added to infuse even more flavor and aroma, followed by duck blood jellies, ‘layered tofu’, chicken / pork bone soup and various seasonings for the final touches.
Although this was a costly meal, it was thoroughly enjoyable and most importantly, eye-opening.
