Lunch today with a couple of young lady friends. The venue was chosen due to a conversation I had with one of them a couple of weeks ago. She mentioned that she had been in a certain restaurant in another city and I said they have a branch here, too, but I've never been as it's not suitable for solo dining and none of my friends here want to go as they have an aversion to the place's specialty - frog. She promised we would go on her next visit, which turned out to be today.
Basically, they only have one dish, but that dish is tweakable.
Spicy Frog Hotpot.
You're having this no matter what. Then to this huge platter you add extras as desired.
Enoki Mushrooms
Lettuce
Tofu
Preserved eggs.
The eggs were fake and not at all pleasant. To make up the ladies ordered some fuit salad, of which I did not partake. Apple, melon, banana, ragon fruit and cherry tomatoes slathered in sweet Kewpie "mayonaisse". Yuck!
The frog dish was easily enough for the three of us and would have easily coped with a fourth - this is why I say it's not for solo dining.
