I often dine alone and there are some dishes that are a bit hard to do. One such thing is hot pot. It's so hard to do this alone. Yes, I can go to the fast food places like Yoshinoya but what if I want something better? I often have to wrangle a friend.I discovered a new place serving shabu shabu for one. Located in Causeway Bay's V Point building is Shabu Shabu Shiki. They have sets for one so you can eat alone without sharing.Lunch time they have a sets that include udon or rice, pickles, veg
I discovered a new place serving shabu shabu for one. Located in Causeway Bay's V Point building is Shabu Shabu Shiki. They have sets for one so you can eat alone without sharing.
Lunch time they have a sets that include udon or rice, pickles, vegetables and dessert. I found that the pickles are only available if you choose rice and not udon. I don't know why they are so stingy on that. Menu is in English, Japanese and Chinese. There are a lot of soup bases to choose from.
The view has a great view of the area below. Seating is spacious and though there are a few tables, they have one long communal table. Perfect for one.
They provide you two dipping sauces: sesame (on the left) and ponzu (on the right). The sesame one was very rich and nutty.
The soup base I chose was the yuzu soy sauce. This was excellent. Rarely have I found a place that had a strong yuzu taste in the soup base and yet it was not too salty from the soy sauce.
I chose the $168 set which included chuck rib, chicken and pork belly. The vegetables included baby bok choy, Chinese lettuce, enoki mushrooms and shimeji mushrooms. The vegetables were fresh and clean. The meat was excellent quality. The chuck rib was a thick cut and just melt in your mouth fabulous.
I chose udon instead of rice. Thus, I received no pickles. The udon was nice. Smooth and chewy.
Dessert ended with a scoop of matcha ice cream. A good bitter taste of the tea was a good ending to my lunch.
Service was good with constant refilling of my tea. Even an escort out to the elevator was a nice touch. Food was just enough for me but if you have bigger stomaches, this may not be enough for you. I'll be back.
