Shabu Shabu

Last night we had dinner with friends at a Shabu Shabut restaurant. Shabu Shabu isn't Korean but Japanese but either way I love it! I decided that it was time to introduce Jim to the wonderful food and Zane as well. Zane didn't eat but played as this particular restaurant has an indoor play area. I also decided it was time to start taking pictures of some of the fun places we go and even eat at so we can share those experiences with you as well.  Shabu Shabu consists of thin slices of frozen meat or seafood, lots of fresh vegetable and a pot of boiling broth. You cook all of the food in the pot of boiling broth and then either eat alone or wrap it up in a lettuce leaf with rice, kim-che, garlic and all sorts of other goodies of your choice.
This was the bread and salad area of the buffet.

This had lettuce for wraps, sauces, garlic and other goodies.


This was full of fresh veggies: mushrooms, bean sprouts, zucchini, green onions and sea cucumber. 

This was all the meat: beef, pork belly, shrimp, muscles, and clams.

Back at the table getting ready to add the food to the broth.


Of course we didn't take any pictures of any one eating.
