Just realised that I have a back order post that I haven't published to my site. It was way weeks ago that I had my dinner date with my two body guards. You must be wondering why do I name them as BODYGUARD? None other than they really take good care of me during poly school and also one is my current true love (which I always blog about him!) whereas the other man who always treat me like his younger sister. Such a blessed to know them in SEG club.

This Japanese food restaurant was somewhat both Joel and I were eyeing on and finally we tried their BEAUTY POT! I am probably the slowest but never mind, better late than never right? I was waiting for the craze to die down before heading there.

Bijin Nabe 「美人鍋」 – It’s a hotpot using quality collagen soup of free-range JIDORI chicken from Miyazaki, Japan, served with various vegetables, shrimps and other nutritional ingredients. The chicken is boiled for 8 hours and the soup does not have any MSG in it. This costs $25++ per person, the pot serves a min 2 pax.

They open for dinner at 5pm. From what I know they don't take advance bookings through phone, so there's normally a queue outside at around 4.30pm, as told my a friend.

Ground chicken mixed with a bit of tapioca starch to form a paste, which will then be shaped into meatballs right before plunging them into the boiling broth. There's prawns, deep fried tofu, assorted mushrooms and organic vegetables including sprouts and watermelon daikon radish added inside the broth too. Three choices of noodles accompany the collagen hotpot set: thin egg noodle, thick mochi-mochi noodle and rice noodle.

Let me introduce you to Nikumaki Onigiri which is essentially "a bite sized rice ball wrapped in pork and baked with a special soy sauce"

Bijin Nabe is served with chicken, prawns and various vegetables, followed by noodles from 3 choices: thin egg noodle, thick mochi-mochi noodle, rice noodle. As it was our first time here, the friendly waitress explained to us the way to eat Bijin Nabe.

It was so addictive that I found myself slurping up the soup more than eating the rest of the ingredients (:

The other item that I got to mention is the chicken meatballs which were really tender and chewy. They were also very fresh as I could taste the sweetness and goes really well with the savory soup!

Halfway through eating, a staff came by with a small complimentary sauce for us to mix into our soup for a different taste. We didnt managed to catch what the sauce was but it was really a small tiny portion and lovingly put into a heart-shaped.
