Shabu Shabu

I love to eat steamboat and it is pretty much similar to the Infamous Japanese dish 'Shabu Shabu'. In fact, my passion for 'Shabu Shabu' have grown ever since I have eaten 'Shabu Shabu' at this Japanese Maid restaurant back then. And 'Shabu Shabu' will be the main topic today. :D

'Sushi' They have set aside this small little corner for 'Sushi' and dishes like mini 'Japanese Eel Rice Bowl'. I have given the mini 'Rice Bowl' a try and by adding ingredients like 'Japanese Eel', 'Egg' and Cucumbers inside the rice bowl, this is definitely one of the best antidoteｓ/dishes for a crazily hot day.

So why do I love 'Shabu Shabu'? One of the main reasons will be the thin slices of meat. After you place your orders for 'Beef', 'Pork' and 'Chicken', the waiter will pass you trays of sliced thin meat. So what's so great about the thin slices of meat? Well basically, the time required to cook the meat is pretty short and you can reduce the amount of food wastage and eat more meat. Furthermore, you can also mix and match all the various types of sauces and formulate one that can really fit the taste of the meat best.

Besides for meat, they also have several other types of ingredients too. There's vegetables, noodles and all sorts of seafood. In fact, you can create your own type of 'Special Vegetables Seafood Ramen'. (However, it would be great if they can throw in several other types types of meat like 'Mutton', 'Fish', etc... )

We have chosen the 'Pork Bone Broth'(left) and the 'Clams + Chicken Broth'(Right) that day.By the way, the 'Pork Bone Broth' started off with a yellowish colour but after adding a massive slices of 'Beef' it ended up to be 'Brownish'. As for the 'Clams + Chicken Broth', it comes with a thick layer of chicken oil and the nice fragrance of clams, which makes it very yummy. They also have soups like 'Curry Chicken', 'Sukiyaki' and even 'Tomato' over here too.

They also provide 'Ice Cream' over here too. After all that eating, this would definitely works as a great antidote. :P

The name of this restaurant would be 'Shabu Sai'. They have a branch located on level 8 of 'Orchard Central'.
