On Thursday, I met up with my ex-coworkers to hang out and grab dinner.
We went to a restaurant called Shabuya located in Koreatown, Los Angeles.
There, I experienced a Shabu-shabu heaven. π
Exquisite!
Do I hear tummies growling or what? LOL
I love how they have individual pot and you can fill it up with the soup base of your choice. Huoguo and Original are the two most popular soup base. I chose η«ι (HuΗguΕ) soup base. If you add Kimchi to Huoguo, it tastes like κΉμΉμ°κ°(Kimchi Stew) so try it out if you're a Kimchi fan.
The servers deliver meat of your choice but sides including sauce are self-served. In the middle of the restaurant, there is a bar where you can get various vegetables, noodles, fish cake and seafood. You can create the sauce of your own there as well.
This is a sauce that my ex-coworker made me and it was sooooooo good.
I wanted to learn the recipe but it was kept a secret. π It tasted similar to salsa yet different. My guess is to add a tiny bit of soy sauce and minced garlic to a salsa recipe. I will have to experiment.
After you are finished with Shabu-shabu, the server makes porridge for you. The visuals may not compare to its level of deliciousness! One can only regret not to finish the porridge because stomach storage has maximized by Shabu-Shabu already.
If you are a local, check this restaurant out:
