thanks for the reply scooby, pero how do i go about this fund? where do i buy it? do i just ask my broker to buy it or something? o sa bank ako pupunta?

www.philequity.net

ok ba to? diba eto yung company ni ignacio gimenez? yung author ng philequity corner sa phil star? may feedback kayo dito? parang mutual funds lang ata sila diba? o meron din silang fund managers who handle individual accounts?

thanks.

haven't tried shabu-shabu yet, ... is it similar to the japanese foods that are raw? or are they japanese food? there is a shabu shabu resto in sm sucat, haven't tried it since from the outside it looks like that they serve raw foods...

 

haven't tried eating raw foods like japanese yet...

they serve raw food but you have a big pot of boiling soup in the middle of the table where you can cook em. bigger tables usually have more pots. mini shabu shabu provides 1 small pot per person... sometimes 1 for every 2 people. bottomline, you dont eat the food raw as they are usually frozen when served.. so you have to cook em first.

oh check page one of this thread to see the difference between hotpot and shabu shabu. :cool:

where is the best place to buy a nike airmax 360 for running? i prefer light colors, so if you guys know of nike store that has them in white/silver, kindly tell me. thanks! ill be in shangrila then rockwell this coming saturday... any nike store i should check out?

thanks guys. :cool:

recommended are newly-opened david's at t mapua, gloriamaris at greenhills, goodview salas and lau chan mabini

where exactly is this goodview in salas? no idea where salas is hehe how does it compare to the others? is it cheaper than lau chan or davids? thanks!

The term shabu-shabu is really Japanese in origin and refers to a boiling broth of fish or chicken stock where vegetables - usually leeks, chinese cabbage, onions, golden mushrooms, shitake mushrooms (sometimes oyster mushrooms), carrots and thin slices of beef are dipped and consumed. It is usually accompanied with two sauces - a soy and sake based dip, and a sesame seed sauce. This shouldn't be confused with another Japanese boiling pot dish- sukiyaki, which has a sweet soup stock based mirin and bonito.

 

There are many other variations of this type of cooking, and different countries call it different names. In Taiwan, they also have something similar, but it's only called hotpot (not shabu-shabu). There are more kinds of vegetables added, and a whole lot of meats from fish to chicken to beef to dumplings. They usually offer two kinds of broth - a clear one and a sate one. Each restaurant has it's special dipping sauce, but it's usually based on a Taiwanese barbecue sauce (which is available in some groceries - red bull brand is a silver can with a red lid), with different spices added - chili, garlic, etc, etc. depending on the resturant or if in a house, on the cook.

 

The restaurants that offer "shabu-shabu" in the RP is really offering the Taiwanese version.

 

Hope this helps.

thanks! can you recommend another place besides furusato that also offers authentic japanese shabu shabu? furusato is waaay too expensive for someone who has never tried japanese shabu shabu and is about to experiment with it hehehe.

mern sa fortune resto sa may t kalaw. 9pm onwards mern 50% off sa shabu-shabu nla...havent tasted there pa eh...may be next time

50% off on EVERYTHING? or just on the fresh seafood/veggies or something? can anyone confirm? :upside:

i'm not sure bout the sanitary problem of lau chan but we frequent that place regularly and our stomachs are A ok...... so far at least hehehe.

 

i'd agree with gloria marie's hotpot.. yummy....

 

have you guys tried the hotpot of hapchan banawe..... soup is really tasty... the quality of food aint that good though... but heck.... the soup made it all worth while....

 

also, another inquiry, have you guys tried mixing your own sauce... like raw egg with a bowl of sate and minced fresh galic, a bowl of soy sauce, some freshly chopped chili and hmmm yen suay?

a friend of mine does that. just raw egg yolk and sate+garlic i think. not bad... but i still prefer the basic soy sauce+garlic+sate+chili yummm.. best "soy sauce" for me has to go to lau chan. i dont care much about the soup coz im not really into drinking soup... makes me all sweaty and uncomfy.

Tong Yang Hot Pot!! The Best for me.

 

they have braches in quezon avenue, megamall, tutuban center and pan pacific hotel.

they have a mini shabu shabu in pan pac right? is tong yang better? its been years since i last ate in tong yang... and it wasnt even shabu shabu i think.

ping yang is good but a bit pricey...

 

you may try something equally good.. name is lau chan along mabini... try combination of chinese medicine soup and sate soup... yummy... and try their fried tao pao...

 

they only accept cash though.... price range for 4-5 people usually around 2-3k

oh right, i already tried lau chan too. very good shabu shabu... but i heard their food isnt clean? a friend told me they had a big cockroach infestation problem? :sick:

Have you tried Tian-Tian along Pasay Road, near the corner of Makati Ave? It's more of a Taiwanese style hotpot, but it's delicious!

 

For real authentic shabu-shabu, I guess you'll have to go to a Japanese restaurant frequented by Japanese. IIRC, the shabu-shabu in Furusato is very authentic.

whats the difference between japanese, taiwanese, and the traditional style shabu shabu? like what kind of stuff do you order in furusato? sliced beef, pork, fresh wanton, etc etc?

i tried pingyang in malate and its not bad. mini shabu shabu is pretty popular... but i find it a bit too commercialized. anybody know where i can find a good, authentic shabu shabu place? i dont mind if its expensive but i want it to be reaally good.

gloria maris comes to mind. any other place you guys can recommend?

thanks! :mtc:

whoops. sorry bout the double post.

su zhou also serves good shiao long pao wit all the juice bursting with the first bite. i know it shud be taken whole...but who wants a scalded tounge.. sarap din noodles wit kiam chay nila.

246

 

I don't know enough of number theory, so this is what I used instead to get the answer (it's real clunky, so apologies ):

 

The largest sum possible for two 3-digit numbers is 1998, so _IF_ the sum of the mystery number and 596 results in a 4 digit number then this 4 digits would look like either of these two (since they are in geo. progression):

 

b b*r b*r^2 b*r^3

b*r^3 b*r^2 b*r b

 

(where each digit <=9)

 

With the leftmost digit (either 'b' or 'b*r^3') being a 1 (since we're checking the case where the sum is a 4 digit number).

 

So now we have either of these two conditions (since the leftmost digit is a 1):

 

b=1

b*r^3=1

 

In the first case, if b=1 then r=1 or 2 (since in this case, the rightmost digit 'b*r^3' must be <=9, thus r can at most only be equal to 2). Thus the possible 4-digit numbers here would be 1111 (b=1,r=1) and 1248 (b=1,r=2). Subtracting 596 from these yields 515 and 652, niether of which are in arith. progress. So this case is false.

 

If we take the second case, b*r^3=1, then b=r=1. Which again yields the possible 4-digit number 1111, subtracting 596 gives 515 which again isn't in arith. progress. so this case is false as well.

 

So the above shows that the sum of the mystery number and 596 cannot be a 4-digit number.

 

Ok, so now we know the sum is a 3-digit number, hence in the following form:

 

b b*r b*r^2

b*r^2 b*r b

 

We also know each digit <=9 and since 596 is being added the leftmost digit must >=6, thus:

 

9 >= b >= 6

9 >= b*r^2 >= 6

 

Taking the second case, b*r^2, there are only 3 possible values allowed for r (due to the <=9 condition for each digit), hence drawing a matrix for values of b given the allowed values for r:

 

b*r^2 b (r=1) b (r=2) b (r=3)

------- -------- --------- ---------

6 6 X X

7 7 X X

8 8 2 X

9 9 X 1

 

('X' marks non-valid combinations)

 

Which gives 6 possible 3-digit numbers for the sum of the mystery number and 596:

 

666 (b=6,r=1)

777 (b=7,r=1)

888 (b=8,r=1)

999 (b=9,r=1)

842 (b=2,r=2)

931 (b=1,r=3)

 

Subtracting 596 from each will show that only 842 will give you a 3-digit number (i.e. 246) which has it's digits in arith. progress.

 

Now for the first case, 9>=b>=6 ... nah, I'm too lazy, besides I've already got at least one answer
