火鍋 / しゃぶしゃぶ

Yesterday I met up with "A" for lunch.

We went to have Hot pot / shabu shabu ^^
I have heard about this place for a long time but never been able to visit. Better late than never right ^^

The owners were Chinese so I should call it Hot Pot right? ^^ But since it was a Japanese restaurant it should be Shabu Shabu.

In the end we ended up with a mix as we had Sichuan soup base and Sukiyaki soup base.

It was a buffet, and we were the only there.. We thought it was kinda odd as it was lunch on a Saturday and all. Yet it was very relaxing, we could eat what we wanted and talk a lot and not have to think of the surroundings. ^^

We picked various meats - beef, shrimp, clams, and mussels, Tofu, veggies - been sprouts, shiitake, black mushrooms, broccoli, bok choy, sweet potato...And cellophane noodles.

Our fave was the sukiyaki base, a bit sweeter than what I'm used too, yet both of us really like it.

Of course Sichuan was also good, but we both preferred the other one.
They have 4 bases in total, next time I want to try another base than Sichuan.

Yes, I really have to go back there, it was such a nice meal, and of course great company ^^

At the restaurant they kept on playing K-pop artist T-ara's songs, it felt kinda weird yet amusing :P

I wish we had even more places like these in Stockholm. However I'm happy we have one! And it was delicious. This kind of Asian buffet is THE BEST!!

Done eating... ^^
