Mabu Generation is a small chain (they also have locations in Markham and Toronto) that serves what they call Taiwanese fusion.  Their specialty seems to be their “Taiwanese style mini hot pot.”  Not so sure about that “mini” designation —  I split this with one person and it was way more food than either of us needed.  I’m pretty sure you can comfortably share this with three or even four people (making it a great deal at 26 bucks).

I went with the House Special Spicy Hot Pot: “Nappa cabbage, seafood mushroom, tomato, iced tofu, meat ball (pork), clam, quail egg, pork blood cake, pork blood, pork intestine, preserved vegetables, cilantro, sliced beef, luncheon meat.”

It’s a very enjoyable dish.  It’s absolutely crammed with tasty stuff, and the Sichuan-peppercorn-infused soup has that satisfying spicy/numbing mala thing going on in spades.  It could probably be spicier, but it’s got a decent enough kick.  It’s quite good.
