Shabu Shabu Dinner

Having shabu shabu for dinner at the golf course. The meat looks great
and the veges are almost ready to eat. After a long day on the course
it's really nice to have a good tasting hot meal.

The last time I had shabu shabu was in Shibuya at a famous "no pan
shabu shabu". Do you remember when those places were all the rage? "no
pan" meant no panties for the waitreses dressed in mini skirts who
worked there and the Japanese male customers would ask the for the
bottles on the top shelf to be selected which normally required a bit
of stretching to be done.

Actually I never got chance to go, but wish now I had tried it.

Tofu is almost done now. Time to eat up.

What's your best shabu shabu story?

  What a wonderful few days you must have had near Fujisan. I cookded shabu shabu for my husband on our tenth wedding anniversary a few years back and we just loved it. It was one way that I could show him how much I loved him.... through food and Asahi beer of course http://www.flickr.com/photos/wattam/4079570237/

  I'm guessing that those bottles were probably the most expansive ones they had:P

    its a good tactic though.put the most expensive ones on the top and have the waitresses get them

  I prefer shanghai hotpot over shabu shabu. A plain soup just isn't enough for me. I need those sichuan chili peppers.
