It is really strange that Singaporeans really love their hotpot considering how warm the weather is. There was even a short queue outside newly-opened hotpot restaurant Shabu Sai at Orchard Central (right opposite Kiseki Buffet). Hotpot brings people together. Hotpot brings out gossips, I mean conversations
Nevermind its mildly offensive name when called in Hokkien, Shabu Sai is an all-you-can-eat, Japanese buffet restaurant, with Shabu-Shabu, Sukiyaki and sushi. All I know is the words ‘buffet’ and ‘meats’ can invite Singaporeans down in droves. (“Sai” means vegetables.)
First impressions were positive. Loved its food presentation, quite artfully done with wooden Japanese labels. I got slightly excited at the variety of fresh vegetables, sushi, mini-chirashi dons and meat stuffed in bamboo. (The parent company also owns Chiso Zanmai and Hifumi -both known to offer budget Japanese food.)
