Your Dining Journey

01

Pick Your Set & Soup

Signature Pork & Beef Set (S$20) for first-timers. Yuzu Dashi (+S$2) for light citrus, or free Sukiyaki for richer base.

02

Build Your Dipping Sauce

Head to the condiment station. Sweet Lemongrass and De-leek-cious Spicy Mix are the starters. DIY from there.

03

Cook: Meat First, Paste Last

Pork collar 10-15 seconds. Beef even less. Save cuttlefish paste for second half — it enriches the broth.

04

Finish with Noodles

Drop vermicelli into the richly-flavoured broth. The noodles absorb all the umami. Often the best part of the meal.

Editor's Note

Shabu-GO solves wanting hotpot without a group. S$9.90 for the base set. Cuttlefish paste is the highlight. Yuzu Dashi is our favourite base. Under S$15 for a satisfying Japanese meal.
