Em, that’s the result of laziness hehe Instead of using an extra field for the front page, now there’s just the content and the excerpt.

KS, re the soup referred to as sukiyaki is probably “shabu-shabu”

No. Shabu-Shabu is essentially a “hotpot” arrangement. In Japanese restaurants in the Philippines, sukiyaki is served a la carte in a bowl with a raw egg on top.

Hi Connie, the soup referred to as sukiyaki is probably “shabu-shabu”, which traditionally doesn’t have much meat in it, just tofu. I guess Western restaurants add meat because the customers are expecting it.

We make our own sukiyaki and shabu-shabu at home with an earthenware dish (“nabe”) on a portable gas burner. It takes more preparation than usual but it’s always worth it!

The last time I visited this site was a long time ago. I found the previous layout difficult to view. I love how the latest post has a bigger spot now.
