Healthy Shabu-Shabu @ the Podium Mall

Attention "sabaw" peers! Oh, I am trying to attract the attention of those who loves eating soup or soup based dishes and not those who are already losing their rationality and creative juices. Working in an air-conditioned unit for 9 straight hours, I usually crave for something to warm my stomach and relax my nerves after a hectic day. This year, my boyfriend's birthday falls on a Wednesday. Since the Podium Mall is just a few blocks away our building, I decided to give him a simple birthday treat at Healthy Shabu-Shabu. :) Others might think that eating in a "Shabu-Shabu" restaurant is a horrible idea for some are afraid of cooking in-front of their dates where one might end up looking like an unskilled cook not knowing what to start pouring and messing their orders. Don't you worry for I promise this establishment is great for starters -cooking methods and budget wise!

Let me take you on a few table tour:

Chopsticks

Can you spot my Green Cross Sanitizing Gel?

Included in the dining set were strainer, soup ladle, chopsticks and a sheet of wet wipes.

First and second timers' cooking cheat. :)))

The meat cooking sheet.

Our pot of broth poured by their helpful attendants and our dipping sauce.

Let's eat, shall we?! :)))

Our soup base.

The Soup Base includes: 

• Healthy Shabu-Shabu special sauce
• 1 fresh egg
• Chopped garlic
• Chopped onion stalks
• Chopped chili
• Fish paste

Their attendants helping us prepare our both.

First, the attendant dropped the chopped garlic, onion stalks, chili and shrimp paste. Then he cracked the egg, used the strain to pour in the egg whites into our broth then he put the egg yolks into the special Healthy Shabu-Shabu sauce. The other set of chopped herbs were dropped into our special dipping sauce and was then mixed finely with the egg yolk. Lastly, the attendant poured half of the special sauce (mixed with herbs and egg yolk) into our broth together with the tofu, sweet corn and yam (gabi). Me and my boyfriend poured the rest of the ingredients following the instructions given on the acrylic stand.
