I visited this Japanese restaurant with friends during Christmas time and I like it a lot.

It is a 3-in-1 restaurant owned by a japanese family and they offer sushi bar, shabu-shabu and teppanyaki together.

On that night I tried the shabu shabu and it was very good for the money paid. I have tried both the seafood version and the beef version.

Beef Shabu Shabu

The seafood shabu shabu contains a selection of seafood including scallop, king crab, a kind of white fish, mussels and some fish balls. The waiter included some miso soup on the pot for me to boil the seafood, together with a basket of fresh vegetables and udon on the side. It taste good all together and they also have a range of condiments that can be added to the pot to enhance the flavors of the shabushabu. For sauces they have a mildly sour vinger sauce(I suspect it is the ponzu sauce), and a seasame peanut butter sauce for dips. For condiments for the soup they have scallions, giner grates, S&B 7 flavour power, hot chili peppers and some grated white carrots. The food taste pretty fresh.

As for the beef shabu shabu, they give you what you paid for. Thank you for my neighbouring friend (Wilbur) would gave me a portion of his beef because of my insatiable appetite. Meat is freshly prepared and is done properly.

Special appetizer that they have: jalapeño poppers. jalepeno stuffed with diced white tuna, deep fried. Wow, not too spicy but it taste rather nice!
