Tikim19: Ganso Shabuway (Greenbelt5, Makati CIty)

Shabu-shabu has gained its popularity due to a healthier alternative of cooking food in a tasty manner. The two things that would make a great shabu-shabu are 1.the BROTH/SOUP 2.SAUCE. These two factors are I think what gives the shabu-shabu cooked food flavor. Ganso Shabuway is an American Japanese hotpot franchise that opened this 2011 and they are making a name for their awesome dipping sauce! It was actually my first time to dine in a hotpot that the broth is not really for sipping thus it made me concentrate with the meat and sauce instead.

Ordering in Ganso Shabuway was also a different experience compared to the other hotpot houses that i have been where food ordered is shared. In Ganso Shabuway, you order food for yourself and you pay an additional fee if you want to share; it is like one set meal per person is their ideal set-up.

How to order

Step1: Choose broth
Step2: Choose your Shabu-Shabu
A closer look Meyer or Kobe? 
Ste3: Choose your vegetables and sides
TAKE NOTE: One meal= One Person. Extra charge for sharing :( boo!

Their menu offerings is straight forward, they simply created a unique selling point by limiting their menu to beef as their main entree. The process of ordering: you choose your broth (traditional seaweed or spicy miso), choose shabu-shabu order (beef, vegetable, mushroom, or unagi), pick ramen or udon (note that price differs), and lastly choose your add-ons (side orders like rice, drinks).
Half and Half Broth: Traditional Seaweed and Spicy Miso (not that spicy anyway)
Meyer Beef for me
Veggies come with the meal
What i'll truly remember in Ganso Shabuway are their 2 dipping sauce, kindly ask the staff to how to add the other condiments to your sauce because it will taste better! Sauce + Lean Meat = Happy Customer :)

Before: Plain Sauce
After: Sauce with condiments. AWESOME!
Condiments for a flavorful sauce

I do hope that other kinds of meat will be available in their menu even for a limited time. An example would be holy week promo, where white chicken/fish fillet will be available as an alternative for beef since Christians do red meat fasting during this period.

Taste: 2.5/5
Price: 2.5/5
Ambiance: 3.5/5
