Anyone who knows me knows I lo-o-o-ve hot pot. It's probably my favorite type of meal. I can sit there for hours slowly cooking and eating food and sipping at the yummy broth. Anyway, I finally tried this fancy new hotpot place in Bellevue called Dolar Shop and I had to share pics of the meal to make you all jealous! It was so good, I can't wait to go back. Not cheap though, that's for sure - easily the most expensive hot pot meal I've ever had at $60/pp, and that was with a happy hour discount! We got some fancy stuff like crab and oysters but still! Anyone want to go with me?
We got back from Japan about a week ago and we're still talking about what a great trip it was! Japan has never been super high on my places to visit but for a lot of reasons (I've never been, it's clean, it's safe, it's different) we took the plunge and booked it as our summer vacation this year. It helped that our friends, the Wongs, went last year, raved about it and loved it so much they were going again and we were able to coordinate so that some of our trip overlapped with theirs. It helped even more that the yen is at a 10-year low (maybe all time low?) against the dollar, which, aside from airfare, made everything quite affordable. Look how low the yen is! We lucked out that it kept falling after we booked our tix in Dec. Since this was our first big overseas trip since COVID and with kids (or, lets face it, SINCE kids), I dove into prepping for our trip - including trying to keep up my Duolingo streak of learning Japanese for at least a few minutes everyd
Wow, that looks fancy! I want to try it next time I'm up there!
