Don't get me wrong. I love shabu-shabu, it's just that I prefer doing it at home.
I think the idea of going to a restaurant to cook raw meats in a pot of boiling broth is a bit uninspired.
That is, until I experienced Megan's Kitchen.
The restaurant also serves Cantonese fare, but we were there for some dipping action
Megan's Kitchen offers quite a few unique items you won't see in other shabu-shabu places
Even condiments for your dipping sauce are aplenty
Sprinkles
Modesty aside, I do a really mean shabu-shabu sauce. I have never tasted another that is
as awesome as mine. Lol! :P
If you think those yin yang pots that allow you two soup base options are the coolest things, wait till you see this...
Here at Megan's, you can choose THREE! We chose Cheese Souffle with Onion Soup (top left),
Tomato and Crab Soup in Souffle Finish (top right), and my favorite of the trifecta, Tom Yum
Goong Cappuccino (bottom). Other exciting choices include French Lobster Borsch Soup,
English Oxtail Soup, Sichuan Super Hot Chili & Escargot Soup, French Onion & Duck Soup,
Coriander & Preserved Duck Egg Soup, Apple & Corn Soup with Spareribs, etc, etc, etc...
Our raw selections:
Supreme Tenderloin (for the health-conscious)
Snowflake Beef (for the not so health-conscious such as myself)
Snowflake Beef Tongue (for the not so health-conscious who love to french kiss… such as myself!)
Hahaha! :D
Supreme Mongolian Lamb
Korean Kimchi Dumplings
Japanese Beef with Black Truffle Dumplings
Salted Duck Egg Yolk & Pork Balls
Rainbow Cuttlefish Balls: Red Bell Pepper, Pumpkin, Yellow Bell Pepper, Spinach,
Spring Onion, Beetroot, Purple Sweet Potato
Assorted Vegetable Platter and Enoki Mushrooms
I had to wait for these three to finish doing their thing before I could start eating.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…….
Look! The Tomato and Crab soup had real crab in it!
Salted duck egg yolk….… Yummmmmm……..
Black truffle……… Yummmmmmeeehhhh……….
Everyone knew not to fight with me over the ownership of the purple ball
We will definitely be back to try more broths!
