recipe willy: Love Nutrient Arashi Shabu-Shabu @ Gurney Plaza, Penang.

Warm your trunk upwardly inwards this rainy flavor past times enjoying Hot Pot at the newly opened Arashi Shabu Shabu, Gurney Plaza. The Hot Pot chain is well-established inwards southern Malaysia but this is their commencement branch inwards Penang. Their concept is simple- i Hot Pot per diner (you may opt for sharing nevertheless) but the existent line factor is in all probability the unique Japanese-influenced broth; from sugariness to savory, Sukiyaki to Kelp or Curries. Each Hot Pot packet is carefully idea of, to cater both carnivores in addition to herbivores but unfortunately, they come upwardly alongside hefty cost tags too. The relentless queue over the weekend was horrible but lucky for us, nosotros had to queue for 10 minutes only (we were told that merely about had to queue for to a greater extent than than one-half an hour).

Mix Pork in addition to Beef Combo (Rm 28.90) alongside Hot & Spicy Milk Broth (additional Rm 2)

Grilled Beef Bibimbap (Rm 22.90)

Amongst the 10 broths available, nosotros opted for the well-nigh exclusive type- Hot & Spicy Milk Broth. It may audio odd at commencement but the flavors are familiar. We had a gulp in addition to it straightaway reminded us of White Curry Mee. The Mix Pork in addition to Beef combo carried the quintessential meat slices in addition to merely about Meat Balls alongside crunchy Greens, Glass Noodles, Crabsticks, Mushrooms in addition to crispy Beancurd Sheets. We idea they could move to a greater extent than generous alongside the meat, nosotros only got a few thinly sliced Beef in addition to Pork. The note-worthy requisite sauce- Arashi Shabu Shabu's home-made signature Spicy sauce was a beautiful complement to the meat. Though it was lip-numbingly hot, the acidic-element inwards the sauce makes it addictive in addition to specially refreshing to move used a dip for the meat.

Arashi Shabu Shabu's Bibimbap is in all probability modified to conform the local palate. The Korean-origin dish has many crunchy greens but Arashi's rendition had merely about julienned Black Fungus, Bak Choy, Kim Chi in addition to merely about Grilled Beef; doused over a sweet-savory Japanese sauce. The concoction was delicious but they may convey overdone alongside the sauce. As a effect of that, the Bibimbap was overly moist in addition to the crispy crust could non move formed at the bottom of the Stone Pot. I would non tell the Beef was exclusively tender but it was brilliantly marinated to the correct dot. We added inwards merely about of their sweat-inducing signature hot sauce in addition to boy, it was brilliant. Our only possible criticism is the price, which does non justify the portion.
