A-bu-cha 2nd
阿武茶 弐

A-bu-cha 2nd is a restobar that serves hotpot, yakitori, donburi, and sushi using Hokkaido’s extraordinarily fresh produce. The Sukiyaki Hotpot is perfect against the raging winter cold. The beef is so tender it melts in your mouth. Coat it with beaten raw eggs for a creamier taste. Bookings are highly recommended to secure seats. Otherwise, come before they open at 6:00PM and have your name listed down, or at around nine when seats free up.

On the higher end of the hot-pot scale, 𝗢𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗯𝘂 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗯𝘂 offers a mixture of elegant design, attentive service, and delicious food. The menu hasn't changed much in years, which in my view is usually a sign of great success (why change what is not broken, right?). The food was exquisite and high quality, going up the spectrum all the way to lobster and A5 wagyu. My choice of 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗲 might sound kind of low-key, but it’s not quite as common in Taiwanese establishments as the other options. I regret nothing. Everything else we tried was also pretty amazing: 🔸 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗴𝘂𝘀 𝗧𝗼𝗳𝘂 — a tantalizing cold appetizer of egg-tofu served with asparagus and a topping of (real) crab meat. 🔸 𝗢𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 — thick and chewy udon, infused with a tea scent. While these handmade noodles are unique to the store, once you finish your main dish, the staff will ask if you want to turn your leftover soup into a delicious congee, so choose your other carbs wisely. 🔸 𝗔𝗹𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗼𝗳𝘂 — almond flavoured tofu, served with ice and canned peach, is a staple in chinese restaurants, but I was pleasantly surprised by the unique mochi-like chewiness of the texture. 🔸 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗹 𝗣𝘂𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 — we received this as a complimentary dessert, probably after the staff overheard me lamenting the difficulties of finding genuine egg custard pudding across Asia. And prove me wrong did they. 💬 Chinese/English/Japanese 🌿 Vegetarian options available 💸 800 ~ 1600 元 (not including items like lobster, crab or wagyu which are in an entirely different price range)

Stumbled upon this Shabu Shabu place with Dad. We got the beef set dinner. Choice of seaweed broth or hokkaido milk soup base. I got the hokkaido milk, was curious as I'd never tried it, and seemed to be quite popular as most other people in the restaurant ordered it. Dad got the seaweed broth. We both preferred the seaweed broth though, maybe out of habit. For beef, we got the USDA sirloin and boneless fillet. Both were nice. The Shabu Shabu came with a vegetable bowl, as expected. They also had a choice of glass noodles or ramen noodles, and all you can eat rice. We got the glass noodles, was ok. Nothing too special. Dessert was a choice between hot red bean soup or ice cream (2 flavors: mocha and lychee). Dad got mocha, I got lychee. We both enjoyed our choices.

Shabu Shabu place - central location, nice environment. Would come back! They make congee from the leftover Shabu Shabu which is so cool. Dad and I were looking for Shabu Shabu places and this was recommended to us. We went for a super early dinner at 4:30pm so it pretty quiet. I like how there are blinds separating some tables, so it's more private. We got the set dinner course (see picture) - salad, USDA Prime Short Ribs, congee (enjoyed it a lot) and pudding for dessert.
