Shabu Shabu

So, earlier today I went out to dinner with some international students to have some "Shabu-Shabu". Someone said that it means "Winter's coming", not sure in what language. It is considered a witner dish that is eaten year round, it definitely warms you up. The way it works is that a gas oven is placed in the middle of the table and sauce is poured in. The oven is then turned on. You then go to the buffet and collect some vegtables and side dishes. Meanwhile, the waitress brings thin slices of pork and beef to the table. As the sauce in the pan over the gas stove warms up you can use your chopsticks to put the pieces of meat in. Since they are thinly sliced, they are done in seconds, you then dip them into another cooler sauce and eat. You can also put the vegtables in to fry as well. This definitely required some superior chopstick skills, I had trouble gettig the pieces out of the pan over the gas stove sometimes.
