Not too shabby Shabu-Shabu
It is a truth universally acknowledged that function is extremely important. But when it comes to shoes or japanese hot-pots, form can take precedence. So, after many months, a lot of words and no action, we finally did it : we bought a shabu-shabu pot. It was a really exciting purchase because I’ve always wanted one, and somehow we never saw one we really liked, until now. We got ours from Tokyo Mart in Northbridge. Along with the pot, we also picked up a portable stove which the lady at the counter tested to make sure it was working before we purchased it.
Still suffering from the glow of being brand new, we set it to work the next evening. Within minutes, we were swishing away pieces of marinated Wagyu beef and Perch. I’m thinking shabu-shabu sundays should be a regular event now.
(Calamari, who couldn’t make it that day because he was sick, these photos are for you. Hope you can come over next week!)

Must be on the same wavelenght, I was seriously thinking of getting one the other day before thinking there’s no way I’ll eat though it all by myself.

You should get one Mir! Good way to have people over and not spend 1/2 your time in the kitchen prepping/cooking. Also, the resulting broth at the end of the meal is so flavoursome, it makes for a great base for soup noodles the next day.
