When you get older, you somehow look back time and think about all those happy and funny memories and moments you had when you were still young. Somehow you started to miss your childhood friends and then it came to a time when kindergarden mates reunion. Our lunch gathering began in a small Japanese restaurant, which is famous for shabu shabu. None of us actually interested in hotpot in the middle of the day except the one who proposed it. Anyhow, it is quite interesting to dine in this restaur
Our lunch gathering began in a small Japanese restaurant, which is famous for shabu shabu. None of us actually interested in hotpot in the middle of the day except the one who proposed it. Anyhow, it is quite interesting to dine in this restaurant since we can have our own pot of shabu shabu.1) Japanese Peas
They gave us Japanese Peas for free as snack. The peas are very salty, they were cooked soft but not meshy at all. I can't help repeating, but I really love Japanese Peas, particularly its texture and the way to eat it.2) Shabu Shabu
There are several choices of beef and broth on menu, but we all chose the lightest one for lunch. I ordered the fish broth since it was highly recommended by a friend of mine. The fish broth turned to be very delicious and tasteful. They claimed to have a secret recipe in preparing the soup, which made it tasteful and not fishy at all.The sliced beef was in generous amount, but the quality was just mediocre. They are just normal US Beef, not particularly special but rather fat. The tofu was not as smooth as I thought it would be. The texture was fine, but it was just not smooth enough. The veggie on the other hand was extremely delicious since it had totally absorbed the essence of the soup and hence very tasteful. The Udon came in a large block, it was fresh from the fridge which was too hard to separate them into two. Since it cannot be separated, I had to dip the whole stack into the soup to cook it. The ending result was having the first half perfectly al dente, but slightly on the soft side for the second half.
In the middle of the meal, you will find the soup had tasted better with a mild taste of beef in it.
3) Taro Mochi Ice-Cream
The mochi ice-cream was indeed a typical local branded mochi ice-cream that you could find in any convenience stores in a pack of two.
Overall, it was rather fun to dine in the restaurant! The service was pretty nice, which they love to explain things in details. The environment although was not huge, was just enough to give the intimacy feelings. The shabu shabu tasted delicious and are priced very reasonably. Definitely a must try Shabu Shabu Restaurant in town.
