haha nice

gotta take katie out somewhere nice tonight. she put up with a lot of **** during the past 2 weeks of me working crazy hrs

 

Ummmm...what about us? I seem to remember that "we" suppose to have dim sum week ago, after driving all the way to Oakland, guess who isnt there...

 

Boris go to an Asian Market and get Either Shabu Shabu or Sukiyaki Meat.

 

sure i'm down. when do you want to meet up shane

i feel terrible about not going but at the same time i had to take care of katie with her food poisoning.

now that it is all over (work and food poisoning), i'm game.

 

No way dude! I won't touch Shabu Shabu ever again. The meat I had was perfect, I just didn't slice it thin enough...

 

i think he's saying to get the meat cut shabu shabu style

 

lol, linda even took the day off to come out and eat with us and go taco hunting

 

What was your bad experience with shabu shabu? I've Noticed at chinese markets like lyons and ranch 99 the quality of the meats is not so great. at Mitsuwa you can get anything up to REAL Kobe Meat from Japan. Last week I had the American "Kobe" It was GREAT! Soft buttery meat, well marbeled. i think theres a mitsuwa in San Jose.

 

Yeah You can always request the Butcher to slice the meat Very thin.....Rib Eye makes the Best Philly CheeseSteak..... Just ask Pat!

 

You had to be on our end of the table at the Shabu Shabu meet. We had no idea how or what to do. We all just ate rice. Well, I was eating the tofu and mushrooms without even cooking them. We ended up with a pot of boiling beer with fat floating on top.

I, personally, hate having to cook my own food at a restaurant. I have to agree with Boris, I'm never doing Shabu Shabu again unless I go with someone that knows what they're doing.

 

Well, that place we went to isnt very good at all, it use plain water instead of beef/chicken stocks, lack of dipping sauce (Chinese bbq sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, raw egg, fermemted red bean curd/chive, garlic, green onion mix them together? thats dipping sauce, which is available at other hot pot places) and varietiy of ingredients, such as 4~5 different types/cuts of meats, fish/meat *****, cottofish/squid... next time try some type of Koran BBQ or hot pots, much much better than that Cafe Mum place, but we went there to drink not really to eat per say...

Might be good idea to do that for next meet , the weather is perfect for that kind of meal.

 

Ya, I understand the main reason that place was chosen was because it was all you could drink. It was too bad that I was too hungry to drink more than the one beer and the several shots of sake I had.

Don't get me wrong, the SF mini meets are always fun because of all the regulars that go. I had fun that night and can't wait for this coming Friday night. Black Angus, right? I didn't like the food there last time I went years ago (no offense to the people that have spent their time setting this up), but it'll still be fun as hell, for sure.

 

Ok that explains things. But Shabu Shabu is very simple, You take all your raw ingredients throw them in the boiling pot. throw a few slices of meat in when you want them. stir it around.

 

Shane You could always bring your own Knorr bullion cubes to add. Sneak in your own sauce. As long as I have some Sesame-Soy sauce dipping sauce i'm Cool. Sux that the place you went to can't figure it out. I'm guessing that it's one of those Fusion-Asian Places. probally a korean or maybe chinese owner. Worst sushi I've had other than Caucasions trying to make it was korean sushi.....YUCK

 

I Just had Probally the BEST NY style pizza last night. in santa Monica "Joe's Pizza" opened up. They are always in the top of the top ten In NY. Had a whole pie with mushrooms & sausage. Excellent thin CRISPY crust, tasty sauce, Yummy cheese. The guy said their website had over 60,000 hits from the LA area alone. I told him WTF took you guys SSSSooooo Long to get here. I know we shoulda came here a Long time ago.....
