Its my second time eating at RedHouse Shabu Shabu, this time with my colleagues. After our laborious team activity (see: Kartzone blog), we were all hungry. This hot pot place was nearby the area so we decided to try it out.
It was 6pm, a peak time for dinner, and we didn't have reservations. Good thing we went on a weekday so there are still seats available to accommodate our group.
The walls of the place are covered with red Chinese screens, and lanterns like chandeliers on the roof gives the place all the more Chinese vibes. As for their menu, unfortunately, nothing states "eat-all-you-can" so everything is per order basis. They have meal sets though, in case people dont like to order each item for their hot pot (we all know there are a lot of variety that goes into the soup).
The soup is already pre-mixed and like Korean Samgyupsal diners will just have to cook the meat and add the noodles in the pot. Aside from the meal set, we ordered 3 plates of premium beef, sea urchins, and noodles.
But the main event when eating hot pot is their sauces. So in this restaurant, they designed a whole bar for their sauces which includes minced garlic, soy sauce, coriander, sesame sauce, chili, and among others. If you're confuse on how to make your sauce, you can simply ask the staff to personalize one for you.
We all had a great conversations over dinner. Its a new experience for some of my colleagues, too. But if i were to choose between hotpot and Samgyupsal, i'll definitely choose the latter in a heart beat. Hot pots are quite expensive in my opinion so i'd rather reserve it for special occasions.
That's it for today's blog. Till the next adventure!
