Hot sPot October 29, 2011
Aryanna and I love eating shabu-shabu. It’s a fun and quite healthy meal.
Here’s our new favorite hot pot place:
Ganso-Shabuway, Greenbelt 5, Makati City
Here are some info I gathered from the staff:
1. Shabuway means “the road to shabu-shabu for shabu-shabu lovers”
2. Ganso Shabuway is an international franchise of Eiichi Mochizuki’s Shabuway, based in the US
Choose a broth: Traditional Seaweed Broth or Spicy Miso Broth. You can order Half and Half (tables only)
My lunch date:
Aryanna the "multitasker"
Le menu:
One meal is required per customer. Side order is not considered a meal. Meaning, umorder kayo ng set! Bawal ang kuripot. Haha!
If you insist (read: matigas ulo n’yo) on sharing one shabu shabu set, there is a P250 charge.
Menu
Aryanna and I ordered the Half and Half broth. I got the Spicy Miso broth (not so spicy) and Aryanna ordered the Traditional Seaweed broth. We suggest to order the Spicy Miso as the Traditional Seaweed broth was bland. As in walang lasa.

Now, the dipping sauce. In our opinion, Ganso-Shabuway sauces are the best! The ponzu sauce has the right sweet, sour and tangy taste to it and the sesame sauce is divine!

I don’t remember what meat Aryanna and I ordered but it was like butter! We both ordered Veggie Plate B, with extra noodles, and Shimeji Balls!
This set is how one order looks like. Kayang-kaya mo 'tong ubusin, so no sharing! Haha!
Let’s fire this baby up!
Na-excite ako, so tinodo ko ang heat! Haha!
Luto-lutuan portion
Let me tell you about Shemeji Balls: THEY. ARE. DELICIOUS.
MUST!!! So yummy!
They are golden globes filled with creamy mushrooms. Morsels of chanterelles ooze with every bite you take.
See that face? That's the look of satisfaction! Haha! Saraaaap ng Shemeji Balls!
Mmm...
We also recommend to order extra thick noodles.
The perfect bowl of soup
I get overwhelmed with the soup + sauce + etc. so I arrange my cooked meat and veggies to one plate.
We had a very late lunch so the place wasn’t crowded. The few times I passed by the place it was packed! Better make reservations.
I love the minimalist interior!
Blogging about this joint made me hungry! Must go back soon!

I’m digging the red, white and wood theme. Also, those shemeji balls… Waaah I feel like I want to order some now.
I understand why they want their customers to order a meal each, but I got kind of turned-off with how they said it on the menu.
