However, standard seems to have dropped of late. Tokachi Tontaro which specialises in Buta Don, has opened by both Plaza Singapura and OUE Downtown Gallery. It features bowls of grilled pork cooked in a Hokkaido speciality tare sauce and served atop premium Hokkaido Yumepirika rice. Tokachi is an area in Japan......

Shabu Sai – Japanese Shabu-Shabu & Sukiyaki Hotpot Buffet Opens At Orchard Central
It is really strange that Singaporeans really love their hotpot considering how warm the weather is.
