We've had our fair share of Shabu Shabu nights. This time around, we were trying something different, Korean Shabu-Shabu to be exact.
Ohh.. and did I mention that they offer crossover dining? ;)
To fully enjoy our Korean Shabu Shabu experience, we chose to sit in the Bulgogi Brothers side. While waiting for our orders for the night, they served us these appetizers. Liked everything except for the kimchi... not a fan.

| Modern Shanghai Signature Xiao Long Bao (Php 188) |
Xiao Long Bao makes its appearance. As you bite into one, you get to taste the usual pork filling. Modern Shanghai's version of this soupy dumpling was pleasing on the tongue. A nice start to our meal.
This lightly breaded crunchy squid seasoned with salt & pepper dish was okay. Cooked nicely & had none of the rubbery texture that screamed overcooking. Serving size though was a bit of an issue.
Here's another crunchy dish from Modern Shanghai. Well cooked; crispy on the outside yet still moist & tender on the inside. This would've been a great dish except for the price. Honestly, you'll be able to get this dish for half the price in other Chinese restaurants.
Soon after, our server began setting up the mini on-table stove.
