Shabu Shabu

ohoho~ we do have this XD

I used to go to the city for shabu shabu (now I just can't justify the price for the amount of food you get). One place I went to a lot was Quickly, they also specialize in bubble tea.

OK, admit it Danny. Your goal is to get us all fat with these food posts. :)

Though I hafta admit, that looks tasty......... <drools>

(Gonna need more time on the exercise bike if I give in to the Food Side.)

We have one here too called Tong Yang, but we only go to it for special occasions and such since it a tad pricy :D

there are shabu-shabu places in Manila. my wife loves it, I don't. ^^;;;
ironically the local colloquial for methamphetamine "the poor man's cocaine" is called Shabu. ^^;

Never had it, but it always sounded good. Unfortunately, the only Japanese restaurants around me that sell it sell it only as a 2-8 person dinner. My favorite meat dish so far has been the gyu don I used to get at lunch when I went back to college for the second time. When I had the time. It was soooo good.

Haven't had shabu shabu but I could really go for some Phở right now.

wah the broth look so dark for some reason ^^;

its been years since i had some, im getting hungree~

Looks really tasty wish we had something like this in my city.

>_<.. Yesterday I was craving for unagi, now it's Shabu shabu...

and there's a shabu shabu place near my office..

We have this in PH too.
And by all means it's a great experience to eat dishes like these.

in my neck of woods there isn't anything like this T.T me adds shabu shabu to the list of food to try once i good to Japan ^0^

need japannese restaurant here !

Tried it twice in Yokosuka. They had not only different kinds of meats but you can order which country they came from. I had Japanese beef and Australian beef. Seasoning was very good. They let me eat there one time by myself but for some reason, this needs to be eaten with alot of people. When I went in a group, more people can chip in because the price of the meats add up very fast and go quick.

I know now to order a rice bowl or something to go with it to leave full. Unless you have VERY deep pockets.

Mas yum!

There's a lot of Shabu Shabu here in Malaysia. I was told it is from Korean...

i've never had shabu shabu before, i've had hot pot before, its nice once in a while but the price is just too expensive.

We eat this at home too. Not only rice though at the end, but we use different types of noodles. Even ramen.

lol I eat the hot pot variation. lol basically the same thing though... but chinese. It's one of my favorite foods.

Haven't tried Shabu Shabu, but look forward to doing so at some point ^^.

i didn't know shabu shabu is a Japanese word for the sound you hear when cooking this. Lots of variety of shabu shabu but the best one depends on its sauce

it's one of the first things i'll eat when i go to japan *drolls* XD

We have this~ we also have teppanyaki cooking, like Benihana. I love this stuff.

I finished off with udon noodles instead of rice. That idea was only pitched to me as of recently. Prior to that, it was just drinking a bit of soup that tasted like everything!

Some friends and I did our own Shabu Shabu once, it was rather tasty but we ended up with too much food at the end that we were not able to finish.

There's similar dish in Vietnam, too. And you've just got me hungrier, danny.

In Thailand they have a whole chain called MK restaurant that has boiling water in a big pan (like a hot pot except bigger) that is in the middle of the table. Everyone puts in thin sliced meat, chicken, shrimp and veggies. Once done, you pull it out and put it in your bow. They have a variant on this where you use an inverted dome to put all the meat on. very tasty

Isn't Chinese hot pot the original? Like, if you go back to China you can even see the old way they make it with this pot that looks like a sombrero or something. But yeah I'm pretty sure this originated in China.

I haven't had Shabu Shabu in a while. Though the last one I had was a Chinese one. Same basic things basically. I'm actually not a big fan of it... It's just too messy, lol!

Had it last month.

Who's else is a raw egg person here?

Now you mention it, maybe I should go for an all you can eat buffet steamboat... :P

i'm interested in knowing what those sauces and spices are. how do you take the powder from the bowl? with chopsticks? there's just a pestle in it. didn't see a spoon there.

We have it all the time at home instead of going out, so we use better ingredients than restaurant fare. Like to have it with a light soy or a peanut sauce dip.

However, I have been known to go to late night hot pot places in Richmond BC

I had hot pot before, but I'd like to try this too...

Oooh :D Yumyum!

Had Chinese version lotsa times... love the sauces!

I'd always remember the 'Go' Rangers whenever shabu shabu is mentioned.. XD

I've always wanted to eat this. I should make plans to do so at a restaurant in my area. With kareoke all together, it should be one hell of a good night. XD

I have hungry, when say shabu shabu I remember Hayate no gotoku

Yummy looks delicious =p

I've had it before~ It taste awesome!

We have this at my house, usually during the colder months. The soup keeps you warm.

Hmm... I can't think of any other dishes like shabu shabu that we have here in the states. I see Shabu Shabu on the menus here in Japanese restaurants. I just surprised none of them have Okonomiyaki...

I love Shabu Shabu, especially on cold winter nights. The fun of cooking your own foods is the best!
We occasionally eat this at home, a mix of Japanese and Chinese ingredients:(meat,seafood,vegetables and noodles). Our soup base is chicken or beef and not the Japanese Wakame, mushroom or bonito shavings soup base

Dipping sauce is saute with some peanut butter with raw egg beat in to it.

Eating that in Japan is SO EXPENSIVE!, Australia is so cheap because beef is cheaper here.
We have, "all you can eat" Shabu Shabu here , $16 per person.

I love Shabu Shabu but its sure hard to find in the States. >_<

I have not tried shabu shabu yet but I would love to. It looks good but I think I still love hot pot and sukiyaki more though ^^

hmmm tasty.

Ooooh looks tasty!

im not a fan of spork so give me a can of spam anyday, same meat but different taste.

Delicious~

Except I once had undercooked chicken.. not a happy story -.-

thought 'choo where getting rid of the laptop?

It took a Shabu Shabu post to get me to sign up so I can make a comment. Because I love Shabu Shabu!!

Anyway, in Singapore, they just opened a Shabu Shabu restaurant where the waitresses are dressed up in Maid costumes. Touted to be a direct import from the streets of Akibahara.

And a photograph of their existing promotions-->

I haven;t eaten shabu-shabu in a resto yet, I always cook it myself ^^

MK's sukiyaki, in Thailand, is a merger of Shabu Shabu and traditional chinese hotpot, as opposed to Japanese sukiyaki. Why it's still called sukiyaki, remains a mystery to me.

I'm glad that I just ate. Looks really good!

Yeah I'm still waiting for a "release" of this kind of meal here at my place.

Slicelicious!!

yep, have those hear. We use raw eggs, some chinese type of barbeque sauce, and soy sauce to dip our meat in after its been cook in the broth. Taste really good.

hmm....seeing those make me feel hungry =.= . luckily there are some store near my place that has Shabu Shabu , but it cost quite a punch =.= .

Thats looks delicious. Too bad it costs a bomb where I live

there are a chain of restaurants in thailand called "shabu shabu". Yummy! it is kinda similar to sukiyaki

Look ok i guess.

There is this relatively new Sichaun style hot pot place started near where I live, but a friend went and had a stomach ache because there were too many people trying to cook at the same time, resulting in water not boiling enough to kill of the nasties... so don't have too many people try to cook at the same time!

I used to have the chinese version at home all the time being from HK ^^ tho the best one I had was in Taiwan where there was just sooo much food to choose from

Have yet to tried shabu shabu yet, not much around my area -_-

Looks yummy. I want to try it ^^

now I am hungry... Ill go eat now, and its Your fault if I over-do it :-)

with all due respect but a cutting board for meats all'italiana you dream! ^_^

looks quite nice.

The closest thing I know of in my neck of the woods is a fondue restaurant:
http://www.meltingpot.com/history.aspx?n=252194

I had to find something off the main page to link to since the front page is way annoying. But the food is pretty good.

I think steamboat is something similar. Have it every time during chinese new year and it does not restricts to only meat.

When eating such dishes, I always make sure my rice is soaked with the soup.

Have not had shabu shabu for a long time. Its pretty similar to steamboat - more common over here ^^;

Had shabu shabu before, but have never finished off the soup with rice (usually stuffed by that point...)

For some reason, I don't like the thin-sliced meat... has that weird raw taste when cooked -__-

Have hear about shabu shabu before but didn't know it's name. Would like to try it someday...

Hmmm...too bad we don't have it here though...

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm need to go to a japanese resteraunt soon..... been ages... and that looks SOOO good... :D

I've eaten Shabu Shabu in Ueno, last summer, in a resturant near the station, and I loved it!

Wow it looks good!

A lot like hot pot, no? At any rate, I have never had shabu shabu before and would certainly like to try it out, see if there are many differences, if any, to hot pot. On the other hand, I've had hot pot numerous times back in Canada and in Hong Kong as well. Certainly is delicious. :D

Magically delicious!

It reminds me of how in the depression, every bit of food would be used, like the leftover pieces of food for bread and rice pudding. Just in the fact that you use the leftover broth on your rice. I'm going to have to ask my friends from Japan if they have a recipe!

Haha that reminds me of the tv skit "Go Rangers" with Hamada and Matsumoto when one dressed like a maid and said: "No Panstu Shabu Shabu !"
He wanted to create a hero which combined sexual desire with food. I belive you can find the episodes on youtube.
But Shabu Shabu is indeed a great dish ^__^

Here in the Philippines some restaurants say its shabu shabu but some call it hot pot, I'm not sure if there's a difference. Shabu shabu here is not as simple as that. In those shabu shabu restaurants, they give you all these food choices: meat (some even have hotdogs for some reason. LOL), fish, beef, veggies, eggs and if the price is a bit higher, there's also some seafood. Then you can put everything in your soup to cook.

It's been a while since I got to eat shabu shabu. But it's nice when you sit with your family and cook your food in one pot together XD

Sorry for the double post, but an idea came to me at work I thought I'd share...

How about an I-phone app with the Suenaga sisters (one or the other option) wearing skimpy exercise outfits doing a personal exercise routine for 20 min or so for you to follow along with?

A little like that DVD that I saw here a while back.... or like that old exercise show, The 20 Minute hard o^H^H^H^H^H I mean, The 20 Minute Work-out.. (basically 2-3 hot babes in spandex on a white turntable in a white set doing aerobics for 20 min.. )

Might get some otaku to loose a few pounds, here and there... :)

omnomnom it looks tasty :p

I wish we did. It looks and sounds yummy!

Is Shabu Shabu = Da Bin Lo (Cantonese)?

Been awhile since i've had it...

Then whats Nabe, Sukiyaki ?

Raw egg with Shabu Shabu? When I went to a japanese restaurant they served Shabu Shabu with ponzu sauce and/or sesame seed sauce, and that's also what I have in all my japanese cooking books. I only saw that raw egg dip to be served with Sukiyaki. But I guess you can have it with either one? I did like the raw egg dip with the sweetness of sukiyaki.

You can't throw a rock in Bangkok without hitting a shabu restaurant. My fave is called Noble Shabu and every person gets their own pot and the veggies and meat go around on a conveyor belt so you can make your own special blend. The best part is you don't pay by dish you pay by the hour. It's like 250 Baht (7USD) for 2 hours including unlimited tea. I take my staff out for a shabu lunch once a week as a treat.

It's pretty popular and cheap here in Taiwan, they serve it as mini pots, so everyone has one pot to boil their own veg and meat.

In chinese is written as 涮涮鍋, but it's pronounced as shuashua, more close to the Japanese.

shabu shabu is awesome~
we sometimes go out to have shabu shabu, it's very yummy and fulfilling ^^

I really want some shabu shabu....

I always thought that a steamboat shop in London was a good idea....particularly because the cold and gloomy winters needs a bit of hot filling food cheer,

hmmm....when was the last time i had that??.....i think it was like 3 or 4 years ago....but where i came from we just call it a "steamboat" because of the charcoal fire in the middle of the sombrero looking pot.

Hi, Danny san.

Eventually, I've just posted a food review for Torashabu(Maid shabu shabu) in Singapore.

http://don777-ax.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2009/07/otaku-ippiki-go.html

Please check it up!.

Looks delightful. :) Hope to try it eventually.

Shabu Shabu's delicious. I love the way u mix the sauce with different ingredients to make a "special" sauce for urself. And it's really nice to see that we don have to waste the sauce seeing how we can use it as seasoning for rice or other dishes to eat after. :)

did you say Malaysia?? i does see something like this~ is any other names for this??

in the video... Isn't she supposed to use the other end of her chopsticks to put the meat into the boiling water?

I once went to eat shabu shabu and someone mistook the ashtray for a plate because there weren't any.

i love shabu-shabu
hmm as something similar

Kuala Lumpur have steam boat, porridge steam boat, cheese steam boat.

the porridge ones are nice, as u finish the meat n veggie u can drink the porridge, or u can choose to drink the porridge along with the meat, they also using thin sliced pork with it, so i think its kinda similar.

mmm that looks yummy!

mmmmm, not so shabby shabu! love it!

btw, how did the figurine taste... not to mention the laptop. :-)

oooh! been hankering for some this for a while!
but i somehow always forget to make it..

shabu shabu is so delicious.. but i get confused between sukiyaki >.<

That looks delicious! Reminds me of fondu. Mmm... I need to buy a fondu pot.

Looks pretty delicious but don't think I'd have something like that too often
