Shabuhouse

Shabuhouse, Brisbane CBD

Wandering around the city figuring what to have for dinner, SaC found Shabuhouse and Hanwoori, both located at Level 1 of 70 Mary St. Still to early for dinner, we walked around and came back with a decision: Shabuhouse for hotpot or Hanwoori for BBQ? Both at the same price at $29.90 for 'All You Can Eat'. 

Hmm... Not wanting to have the BBQ aroma lingering on my clothes, I opted for Shabuhouse. It was so full on a Sunday night and mostly occupied by Japanese or Korean. I guess that's a start of a good sign.

After being directed to our seats, everything became self-service. I would like it if there was someone to explain how it work but unfortunately, they were quite busy. Looking around at our neighbours, we managed to figure it out.

  1. Collect your choice of soup base: seaweed, fish or tomyum. Fill it up (1/2 full) and bring it back to your own heating element on your table. There's button on the side table to choose the level of heat.
  2. Choose any ingredients you like and start cooking!

Well, the good thing about Shabuhouse is that there's two heating elements on a table so each person can have their preferred soup base instead of sharing just one. There's lots of ingredients to choose from: vegetables, all types of 'balls' (fish, crab, octopus, etc), sliced meat (beef, pork) and seafood (prawns, squids, calamari and CRAB) as well as noodles (thick, thin).





Let everything simmer and cook! While waiting, you can try some of their sushi or their selection of pre-cooked fried food such as chicken karaage, takoyaki, spring rolls, tofu and more.





Sliced Beef for SaC, prawns and sliced pork for me!


For $29.90, I think it's a reasonable price considering all the food selections Shabuhouse provide. We tried the clear seaweed and fish broth which had light, mild flavour, accompanied by the fresh meats and seafood (trying to eat the crab was a bit of a challenge, without proper tools provided). The ambience was good too although can be quite noisy. Otherwise, a good place to eat and talk and eat! Both of us had a good time and stayed until it's about to shut! :D


WARNING: By the way, if there's leftover food, be prepared to pay $20 for charity.

Tibetan Kitchen, West End Finally, I have the time to catch up on blogging! Yay! After a sweaty and tired workout in Urban Climb for an indoor rock-climbing (more than a month ago!) , the five of us made our way to Tibetan Kitchen for a late dinner. It was a Friday night and there was people bustling around Trang and its neighbour, Tibetan Kitchen. Haven't had the taste or any clues about Tibetan food, we were lucky because one of our company had spent his time in Tibet for a month. He did warned us beforehand that the food here wasn't as authentic as the food in Tibet though.  Anyway, after much contemplation, we ordered: Pakhora Onion Baje - 6.90 Crispy fried onion patties served with yoghurt & cucumber sauce The pakhora was all right. It could be better with more onions maybe? Namcheko Momo - $8.90 Typical Tibetan style meat dumplings served with homemade tomato chutney Even though these dumplings looked like Chinese/Japanese dumplings

  Newmarket Hotel, Newmarket  Newmarket Hotel has been on our regular place to visit as it is quite a family friendly restaurant; and obviously quite close to home. It can get quite busy at times but as we usually dine when restaurants open (5 or 5.30pm) so it was not too bad. Parking is ample with the complex's undercover parking. What I love about Newmarket hotel is that they do have kid's meal and Grace always enjoy their chicken tenders. Yay! The kid's meal come with a drink (and the drink container can be brought home) and ice cream for dessert. No photo for her meal but we ordered it with steamed vegetables. If you are a seafood lover, give their calamari a go! They are beautifully crumbed and cooked just right. This is an entree size but you can upgrade to the main size. I tried their fish - special of the day; barramundi with some crispy pumpkin/potatoes and the 'sauce'. Honestly, I did not expect it, as this was more like a gravy sauce dish. The portion was

Milk Cafe, Ashgrove

  Milk Cafe, Ashgrove Throwback to late last year when we visited Milk Cafe in Ashgrove. It is just adjacent to Woolworths Ashgrove and you will not miss it. Plenty of parking is available in the complex. Famous for its milkshake, we did not order any as we get quite apprehensive when the kids are so high in sugar 😅. I could not remember the exact dish we had that day but the first dish was poached eggs with bacon, and cripsy potatoes with addition of haloumi. Little M dislikes cheese but she will gobble up the haloumi in no time. We had the pancakes as well and they were fluffy and soft. The girls thankfully enjoyed them, as sometimes they can be picky with their food.  The indoor setting is reasonably large and there is outdoor setting as well. Bonus--> it is part of the Entertainment book's voucher. But ya, we will be back one day.  Breakfast at Milk Cafe
