Shabu-shabu with Aya

We sort of missing out on each other's stresses. And we had a pact to date every after end of quarter so here we are, meeting after Aya's working hours and before I report to work. More or less 2 hours to catch up!

While checking out the restaurants around the mall, Aya took notice of this shabu-shabu place named Ganso-Shabuway Japanese Style Hot Pot and had the urge to try it out. Menu looked pretty good and the place is yet to be filled at the time. 

 We ordered the Meyer Natural Angus set served with white rice and vegetables. I opted for the seaweed broth while Aya went for the spicy miso broth. Er.. I don't really eat seaweeds and I didn't know why I chose it in the first place.

We talked a lot while waiting for the food to be served. The plate of vegetables and pot of broth were easily served yet we had to wait for the plate of beef. Anyhow, we started cooking with just the broth, vegetables and tofu. The broth, the seaweed broth was bland and needs to be seasoned for better taste while the spicy miso broth which surprisingly, I prefer more, were good enough for my buds without adding any more seasonings. We both agreed on this one and mixed both broth instead. =P Both broth were refillable as much as you like with no extra charge, which is awesome!

Food wise, it's good but nothing special. On service, well... we felt like they don't really want to refill our broth! That says a lot with their service doesn't it given that there were only us and another table occupied? lol The place were clean and feels cozy and great for quiet conversation or maybe it's just because it's only us at the moment. =D All in all, we enjoyed the food and our time together but not really the service they catered.

For dessert, we dropped by TWG for some slice of happiness. I picked Singapore Surprise, sort of like a custard cake infused with vanilla bourbon tea with lots of berries. Well, it's nice but it's not my favorite. Still, I like TWG! ♥
