One of Wendy's favorite things is "steamboat." Also known as hot pot or shabu shabu.
You have a pot of soup, sometimes split in two to separate spicy and mild. It sits on either a small gas stove or an induction heater in the middle of the restaurant, and you dip/dunk/submerge raw foods into the boiling broth, then take it out, dip it in sauces, and eat it. It takes well over an hour to eat a typical meal, so a lot of socializing can take place. Definitely not fast food.
There's a local place that does a steamboat buffet, but it's almost $12 per person, plus we've received some bad service there. Wendy decided to try a DIY in-house steamboat, using out camping stove. We bought all the stuff, including beef, pork, chicken, prawns, clams, tofu, tarot, chrysanthemum, baby spinach, noodles, salmon, and spices. Total consumed was about $14 with the cost of the gas, and it was delicious! Easily the best steamboat I've ever had, and when you're around Wendy, you have a LOT of steamboat!
Yummeh, yummeh, tasteh fewd. Mah fewd wuz yummeh, an itwaz tasteh, an mah tummeh is vereh vereh fewl.
