Shabu Shabu, Bandar Puteri, Puchong

Went out for dinner @ Shabu Shabu tonite with fei lou & fei po, when we reach there, easily more than 30 person waiting outside for seats. everytime i go to this restaurant, it make me so jealous, why the hell this scene doesnt happen in my restaurant. damm... lucky i made a reservation for 8pm... but they still make me wait for seats... fuck.... and what pissed me off was they are giving out seats to those walk-in customer and rsvp customer alternately... that was not fair... those who made the reservation should get their seat 1st... those walk-in are the one who should wait... we are the one who made an effort to call or drive there to make a reservation!!! no need money for phone call or petrol izzit?? i saw a lot of unhappy rsvp customer... all keep complaining about why they have to wait for their seats for so long even they already made a reservation??? damm sohai system.....

waited for at least 30mins, finally got our seats after i keep complaining... :p... when we reach on the 2nd floor, we saw quite a number of empty seats... bloody hell.... so, this is the way of doing business.... they make people wait outside their restaurant... so looks like this restaurant is damm busy... one of the business strategy... just like how Italiannise did the same thing. and it really works. too bad my restaurant is "one eye see all"!! cant cheat the customer. should i put a curtain in front of my restaurant??

ok.. enough of complaining shits... actually im not going to do a food review for this post. too hungry and no mood to take so many photos. the main reason for this post is to educate some of you who dont really like to eat in this restaurant. the main reason is this shabu shabu only serve very very plain tasteless clear soup. after quite a number of visits to this restaurant, me and my wife had did some experiment and learned how to make a full flavoured yummy yummy soup.

1st of all, u must know what to take to boil (ngau) the soup. Dont worry, its a buffet. and some items are really meant for you to boil your soup. they dont expect you to finish eating it. here are my recipes:-

1. Chinese Cabbage ( try to look for those thick ones)


2. ABC Soup ( consist of potato, carrot & onion )

3. Celery

4. Salty vege ( ham choy )

5. Sweet Corn ( not baby corn )

6. Pickles ( white color sticks )

7. Pumpkin ( my wife love this, but not me)

8. Prawn Heads ( dont put the whole prawn, you will over cook the meat. peel all the prawn head and throw into ur soup, the more u put the more sweet, but remember u have to finish eating the prawn meat.)

9. Kimchi ( if you dont like spicy, ingore this. if you like more spicy, put 2 plates)

10. sesame oil (you can get this at the drinks counter)

11. White pepper

12. Soya Sauce ( if you think its not salty enough)

after put all this ingredient into the soup, put it in high heat and boil for around 5mins. leave everything inside and you can start cook you prefered food. your soup should end up like this!!

sorry if you think that this photo is not tempting enough, because this photo is taken after i finish all my food. but it taste damm good!!

this is just a rough guide. everyone has their own liking for how their soup should taste like.. ok la... hope next time when i want to invite some of my friends to here they wont tell me they dont like the soup here.. haha...
