Sukiyaki Anyone?

I was going to a dinner with friends and was asked by the one in charge of choosing a restaurant for the evening, “Would you rather have sukiyaki or shabu-shabu?”  I responded right away, “If it were up to me, definitely sukiyaki because while I sometimes have the opportunity to take guests out to shabu shabu I almost never get to go to sukiyaki though it’s my preferred hot pot dish.”

For the simple reason that sukiyaki is eaten by dipping the cooked ingredients into a bowl of raw beaten egg, people often choose shabu-shabu over sukiyaki.  They don’t know what they’re missing.
