212 Cheap meat

It's typhoon season again. The past Friday, I went to record a percussion demo at Kwun Tong, and was almost soaked from heavy rainfall.

Felt hungry after recording, naturally. APM was nearby, and I had always wanted to try this cheap Shabu-shabu place there called 牛陣.

It's a 放題 kind of restaurant (like most cheap places), I ordered a fix 150g beef Shabu-shabu set, which you get 150g raw beef, and can go to pick up unlimited vegetables and rice and ice-cream from the buffet counter. It's just HK$50, quite a bargain.


My selection of Veggie from the buffet. There were quite a number of choices there, and most of the food looked okay.

The 150g beef, not bad, it's definitely not from the more desirable part of the animal, therefore the meat is quite tough after being cooked, but the flavour is okay for its HK$50 value.



There were a family of 5 sitting next to me, three children and two adults, they obviously ordered unlimited meat sets, which I saw them keep on asking for more and more meat. I think I saw them finished at least 5 - 8 plates of large portion raw beef and pork (5 times larger than my 150g share). Amazing, and very Chinese - 冇蝕底.
