East West Shabu Shabu
This picture makes me so hungry...
Liquor in the front...parking in the rear...
Yum
We hit East West Shabu Shabu twice during our trip. We're all
fans of Shabu Shabu/Sukiyaki and this didn't disappoint. Theme park
food was getting a little old, so I yelped Shabu Shabu and quite a
few places popped up. I picked the one with the best reviews and
we headed out. It's not in the best neighborhood (Garden Grove),
but the restaurant and it's surroundings were nice. Every time
we're in Las Vegas we hit Swish Shabu Shabu in Chinatown.
East West was better then Swish. Everything seemed just a
touch fresher and Dawn liked the broth more at East West. I
loved that they had some mysterious "hot drops" they would
add for you. It was a tiny bottle with an eye dropper that had
the label covered up. A few of those really spiced things up! I
think I had 11. Another thing I hadn't tried before was the raw
egg this is served with sometimes. You cook your meat then
dip in the seasoned raw egg for flavor. Sounds gross but I'll
be getting it from now on. The second time we went Dawn's
friend Lisa came along. She liked it too.
On the drive back we came across a seedy little doughnut stand.
I'm always up for a doughnut so we swung in. Other then
the broken liquor bottles around it wasn't bad. The
doughnuts were quite good actually. Not the best location
though. One of those places you wouldn't want to be
after dark.
