Mitsu Shabu Shabu

it was one of those Saturdays where I was working overtime when I got a call from Jo to go have lunch at this new eating place in town - Mitsu Shabu Shabu... so I took off early from work (yea, overtime is somewhat flexible on Saturdays)...


I'm not a fan of Shabu Shabu as I think it's somewhat overpriced, and the choice of food served is not to my liking... went there mainly to kill time, and also to take a break from work... -____-


wasn't too hungry that time, so I only ordered 2 plates of meat (1 lamb and 1 beef)... nothing much to complain about as the meat was fresh, evenly sliced out, and the soup that you dip those meat into was pretty good...

I forgot how much I paid for my share, but I still think that I could have spent the same amount of my moolahs on more worthy meals (something like rib-eyes, tenderloins or even the buffet at Hilton... get the drift?).

However, for those who are fond of having their food cooked in front of them, by themselves, and sweat it out while dipping the food into the boiling soup, then Mitsu Shabu Shabu is the place to go to - clean, roomy, and with indoor (air-conditioned) or outdoor tables (for smokers)...

and you think food served in pubs sucked...

was at Ipanema having beer with Daniel the other night when I felt like ordering some finger food because I didn't have dinner that night. ordered Lamb Bits and Mussels, and the dishes came out to be pretty impressive... especially the later...


chunks of deep-fried lamb... compliments well with the mayonnaise...


slightly cooked mussels with melted cheese... damn good stuff, add on more mayonnaise if you want to...
