Budaoweng Hotpot Cuisine     不倒翁中日火鍋料理  

sorry, this time i didnt have a chance to take any photos, as it is my friend's birthday.
my conclusion is similar to those poor ones below. i also heard of this restaurant from 阿蘇 but IT IS TOTALLY NOT WORTH THIS MONEY.

our bill came to around $6500 for 16 people (including around 12 beers and some softdrinks). pay $400 for nice western fine dining is OK, pay $400 for 打邊爐 is NOT OK.
i was very shock when i receive it. unfortunately, i forgot to check Openrice before i go here. i would rather go to 小肥羊 or 小肥牛.

GOOD POINTS:
soup base - the satay base is excellent
condiments - the 醬油 is good assortment and fresh
beef - 打邊爐, most improtant is the beef! the 肥牛 is excellent according to my friends, it is fresh and quite fatty. however it is super expensive at $280 for a big plate (we have to have 5-6 plates for 15 people). and my personal preference is chewy beef. this beef is closer to wagyu texture than US prime, so its my personal preference that i dont like this sort of 肥牛.

BAD POINTS:
Wanton - poor, no taste
Balls - the fishball, the cuttlefishball taste not fresh
Dow Pok - poor, soggy
Service - is speedy. but that is because this restaurant doesnt even half-full on a sunday nite - however we asked for 2 tables to be moved together and in the end the birthday boy had to become a part time labourer
Parking - their "valet" parking is NOT FREE, we are charged $50 on the bill
Selection - u won't get good selection of local foods. theres only 2-3 vegies, theres no 魚皮鉸, theres no crabsticks.

SEAFOOD:
we ordered some Sashimi - Prawn, 象拔玤 and salmon these items alone are over $2500, my god. the first 2 taste SUPER FRESH, but the salmon was marmarday.

We visited it on Valentine!

We'd ordered: Premium Beef, Oysters, Deepfried fishskin, crab roes pork dumplings and veggies.

Beef: WONDERFUL
Oysters: Fresh and big!
Deepfried Fishskin: wow, as think as potato chips, so yummy!
Crab Roe Pork Dumplings: Very good, think pastry with shrimp, port and crab roes...

I even got a rose from the restaruant too! So caring and nice for ladies!!!

A place for revisit and revisit!

Food:
We have order the most best beef (they claimed to be) on the menu, however, it\'s not worth that much.
The raw fish plateau is ok, but the salmon is way too thick & tasteless.

Service:
the \"vegetable bow\" take us almost 1.5hr from the point when we order to our table. the waiter/waitress keep ignore our demand of the disk for at least 5 times or more.

then follow up with the most favorite rice dish \"the chicken rice\". one of the waitress told us it will take 15 mins, and everyone on the table heard she said that. after about 50mins, upon the 4th time we ask her about the dish, she deny she saying it\'s 15mins, and reconfirm us about 20~25mins.
at the end, I have to talk to the shop manager (I believe either he\'s a shop manager or the owner of ther res.) the rice rearch our table within 3mins after I\'ve talked to that man.

then after we paid the bill, a waitress put down another bill on our table. she only realize she has placed the bill on the wrong table after about 5 sec.

on the same night, I\'ve heard at least 2~3 more tables around us has delayed order for at least 15~30mins, some even still waiting for their dishes when they nearly finished everything on the table.
