Shabu-Shabu Restaurant

Shabu-Shabu means swish-swish, it is a Japanese variant for hot pot or in Taiwanese, individual steamboat. The dish is related to sukiyaki in style, where both use thinly sliced meat and vegetables, and usually served with dipping sauces. However, it is starkly different in taste; shabu-shabu is more savory and less sweet than sukiyaki.




Whereby for the first time in Brunei, such a restaurant was opened on the 13th of March 2009, the restaurant which is a franchise brought in from Taiwan is named
