Sho Teppan - ION Orchard (Review)

This has been my third visit to Sho Teppan at ION Orchard. What lured me back was the sweet Sukiyaki soup stock that they have used for the steamboat.

Even though they had a variety of food choices ranging from Teppanyaki, Yaki Udon & Yakimeshi, I would pick their Sukiyaki any time.

I had the Chicken Sukiyaki set for $11.90. Each set comes with the raw meat of your choice, a salad, rice/udon and a bowl of raw egg. Based on my understanding, you should beat the egg first and cook the the raw meat fully in the soup stock, then dip the meat into the raw egg mixture. What the egg mixture does was to cool down the cooked meat while keeping it warm inside so that it will not burn your tongue if you chew on it immediately after cooking it in the boiling soup.

I would normally order the Chicken Sukiyaki as it was the cheapest meat item on the menu as I felt that it was rather affordable comparing it to other meat selections (e.g Salmon $15.90).

That said, on my latest dining experience in Sho Teppan, I merely just cooked the chicken slices for a few seconds in the hot soup (like Shabu Shabu style) and some areas might have been uncooked; as a result, I had a few rounds of terrible stomachache. Therefore, I am unable to judge if the meat or the raw egg was actually spoilt/not fresh or it was due to my negligence.

Hence, an advice for all will be to cook your raw meat a little longer to avoid what I have experienced!
