What's in your shabu shabu?

Two great ingredients have joined Healthy Shabu Shabu’s menu: the Wagyu beef and the King Crab.

King Crab or Wagyu?

Wagyu beef, touted as the highest quality meat in the world, takes center stage while enhancing the flavor, texture and tenderness of Shabu Shabu. Healthy Shabu Shabu serves grade 8 Wagyu, which is nothing less of the beef standard. Wagyu beef, with its unique marbling characteristic, contributes to the dish’s unmatched juiciness and taste—sealing the sweet, subtle savor that lingers on every foodie’s palate.

Chiefly found in cold waters, the King Crab is reddish-brown crab variety much-sought all over the world because of the difficulty one has to undergo in catching the crustacean. During crab fishing season, squads are even stationed to rescue fishermen who attempt to battle the rough seas and humongous pincers just to bring home the King– thus, making it an extremely-prized seafood cuisine.

Kain Pinoy is giving you a chance to try out these two new additions just by answering one simple question: What do you want in your shabu shabu? Is it the Wagyu beef or the King Crab?

The best answers will win a one-thousand peso gift certificate from Healthy Shabu Shabu.

Breakfast at Jollibee

These past 3 months, I have spent my nights awake, keeping watch over my sick stepfather at the hospital. I get really hungry in the morning-towards the end of my “shift”,- so what I do is head on down to the Jollibee outlet downstairs to get my breakfast fix with an order, or two, of Jollibee Breakfast Joys.

Tita Lynn's Flavored Suman

I love suman, particularly suman sa ibos— the light yellow ones that come in bunches. Now I usually get my suman fix from the market. But, that means having to wake up early because they only sell it in the morning. So what do I do when I crave suman in the middle of the day? I head to Tita Lynn’s.

Paul Calvin's Deli

In these times of heart disease and unhealthy lifestyles, more and more people are starting to embrace and get into a healthful lifestyle.

There’s a little place called Paul Calvin’s Deli at the Fort Bonifacio Global City that serves good and healthful food, and they have been catering to the appetites of the neighboring offices for months now. I had the pleasure of having dinner there upon an invitation of a friend of mine, and I was pleasantly surprised with the variety of dishes available. Eating healthful here does not mean eating bland and unexciting food.
