Ironic as it may seem, i was craving for something hot despite the blistering weather we have. I wanted to try something different. Lo and behold! Binondo is known for having numerous Chinese Restaurants. I thought i should try Shabu Shabu. Thank God we were in Binondo that time. We rummaged around the area and found a fancy resto that mainly serves Shabu Shabu or Hotpot. Entering the place, we were warmly welcomed. I was a bit nervous because the place looks a bit classy so i thought the food would be so expensive. But still, who cares about spending money when you got an empty stomach. It was our first time to try Shabu Shabu and did not know what to do. The staff patiently explained to us what we should order. We were told to choose what we would like to put in the Shabu Shabu. As we waited, the staff gave us a teapot filled with their tea. The tea was rejuvinating and just like their water - it is freely given. I was astonished when our orders have arrived! I didn't expect that it will be a lot. The price made justice to the quantity of their servings. Plus, their shabu shabu tasted so good! The taste took me to another place, as if I was in Macao. After we had finished eating, i was even more astonished when the staff gave us sliced watermelons, which we did not ordered. It was free. I would definitely come back once again and probably next time I'll bring my friends.

This is one of our favorite places to eat as a family. As it is only just a 1 minute walk from our house.This is one of the best hotpots or "shabu shabu" around Binondo. The staff are very nice and respectful. I personally recommend the US Fat Beef, Fried Taro, and Taiwan Pechay. Just don't forget to dip in their special sauce mixed with garlic, spring onions and lots of chili pepper.God, I love this place.
