Enjoying my dinner with shabu 🍲😋

Hello friends! For this post, it’s all about food 🍲✨ Every time I get to enjoy a delicious meal, believe it or not, it always brings happiness in that moment. It’s actually been such a long time since I last had this dish. Since my younger sister came to stay with me at my place, we had the chance to share a meal together. I let her decide what to eat, and in the end, our dinner turned out to be shabu! 😋🥢❤️

Shabu is a type of hot pot 🍲 where you can choose your favorite vegetables 🥬 or meats 🥩 to cook in the boiling broth and enjoy with dipping sauces 🥢. Each restaurant has its own unique sauce recipe that makes the flavor special 😋.

Our shabu experience was in buffet style 🍲, with a time limit of 1 hour and 30 minutes. But honestly, my sister and I usually get full in less than an hour 😋. The place we went to is called “Lucky Suki.” In the past, you’d have to wait in a long queue to eat there, but nowadays there are many restaurants with this style, so it’s not as crowded anymore. We chose this restaurant because it’s quite close to our place, the price is reasonable, and the ingredients are fresh and good quality 🥬🥩🥢.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is mainly decorated in red ❤️, a color that often symbolizes good fortune, happiness, success, and luck. Both Thai and Chinese people usually believe in this meaning. When we walked in, we saw many tables ready to accommodate lots of customers. Upon arrival, we needed to register to get our table number along with the set menu we wanted to enjoy. After receiving the table number and confirming our set, we headed to our assigned table.

On the receipt, there’s a QR code 📱 that allows us to scan and order food directly, without writing it down on paper. We could choose from every menu item with no limit, since it was already included in the buffet package 🍲🥢

And here are the dishes we ordered 🍤✨. Both of us really love shrimp, hehe 😋. But the highlight of shabu is definitely the dipping sauce — if the sauce isn’t tasty, the whole meal won’t be as enjoyable. Personally, I like adding crushed chili 🌶️ and garlic 🧄 to the sauce, which makes the flavor even more delicious and makes the meal so much more enjoyable. For this dinner, it was truly satisfying! 🥢🍲

Apart from the dishes we ordered through the QR code 📱, there was also a corner where we could help ourselves to some food. The menu item we both loved the most was the fried chive dumplings 🥟 — crispy, not greasy, and absolutely delightful! Pairing them with the dipping sauce made them even more delicious 😋

Here’s our dinner for the evening 🍲✨. My face might look a bit tired 😅 since I had been working all day and my energy was completely drained, but I felt happy and satisfied enjoying such a delicious meal with my sister 😋❤️.
