Tong Yang Restaurant

I thought I was just having rice topped with egg and some cured meat for dinner last night but an angel drove and her car and parked in front of my fave shabu-shabu restaurant, Tong Yang along Jupiter St. in Makati. Shoot there goes the weight I lost the other day...

We started off with tuna sashimi, very fresh and high grade. Then after choosing two types of broth we started picking the ingredients that we want ~ crabs, shrimps in all sizes, fish and shellfish, tofu, dimsum and all the vegetables that will go nicely in a soup.



And if that's not enough they also have a wide selection of meet and poultry for barbeque.

For desserts, they have fruits, sherbets and ice cream. It was truly a gastronomic feast, the only thing that bothered me was their music. We stayed almost two hours and endured listening to Piolo Pascual's album over and over again. We were really tempted to get some cd from Charity's car so we can have a breather.

On the way home we passed by Metrowalk, watched a cute guy ride an electronic bull ~ no he did not embarrassed himself by falling then checked out the arcade and saw a karaoke machine. Too bad they were about to close so we only got to sing 2 songs each before calling it a night. But we are already making plans of going back and singing to our hearts content, hehehe.

Is shabu shabu a dish native to your country or did you hit a Korean restaurant?

It was around US$10.00 including the tax and service charge so it's a good deal.

That's a steal!!! That's why I love eating in Asia because everything is so cheap and yummy!!!

Shelly: Shabu shabu usually mean Hot pot. It's like an American fondue but instead of chocolate or cheese, we use broth instead. The broth can be pork bones soup base or satay sauce soup base or anything they have available. ^^ Then we put meat, seafood, veggies, or anything we want to cook in it and the broth and the sauce on the side will give it taste. It's really yummy. Give it a try!

If I am not wrong, Shabu is the way you call it in Japan while in Chinese, we call it Hot pot. ^^
