Now, besides having an exquisite name, shabu-shabu is probably one of the best meals we can get around here for 10 bucks a person. It's also a few extra bucks for a couple of tasty drinks. Because it is such a tasty deal, Emily and I decided to have it for dinner last night. I decided to bring along the camera and take a bunch of awkward photos while we ate. By the way, I don't want to act like I know all kinds of stuff about shabu-shabu, so here is the link to the Wikipedia article I would have ended up stealing my information from in the first place.
So today was a pretty cool and rainy day. It's perfect for shabu, because the steam from all the cooking kinda sucks if its warm and humid in the restaurant.

| Super rainy early in the day. |
 |
| The restaurant is right across the street! |
 |
| Walking into the building. |
 |
| Welcome to shabu-shabu |
After walking in the front door you take off your shoes, put them on the shelf, and find a place to sit. The seating is on the floor and my legs fall asleep every seven seconds, but that's okay because shabu-shabu is better than boiled denim.

When we sit down the waitress comes by and gives us the menu. After a few minutes the waitress comes back and Emily uses her Korean skills to order up some food. Before you know it we have a feast in front of us.

 |
| And of course my tasty coke. |
Now, we cook! Cooking the food is pretty fun and easy. All we really have to do is put all the veggies and meat into the pot and let it boil for a few minutes. Of course we do have to cut up all of the big veggies...
 |
| Me doing a horrible job cutting. |
 |
| Em stirring that whole thing up. |
 |
| Hookin it up with a tasty bowl. |
 |
| The final product. |
When we finish cooking we end up with a few bowls of meat and veggies like you see above. But wait, there's more! We also get to cook noodles and something else that I can't remember the name of right now. It's not even a hard name. Oh well, if I remember it later I can always come back and edit. Anyways, when we finish eating the noodles we move on to the final portion of shabu-shabu. We call this juke, or rice porridge... I think. I can't remember things right now so here are some more pics!
 |
| First we add the rice. Next we add the egg. |
 |
| Let it cook for a bit... |
 |
| Before you know it we have some stuff that looks gross and tastes amazing. |
 |
| All that's left is to serve and enjoy. |
So that's about it. We have a few bowls of this tasty juke/rice porridge/unknown food, and the meal is over. My legs are usually well asleep at this point, so I try to wake them while leaving. After we are done it's only a short walk back home. Anyways that's all I have for you guys today. Until next time, Seoul long!
