Good food expensive food

Shabu shabu dinner at Nagomi Shabu Shabu in Menara Hap Seng, KL. Ms Tam Poh Poh, the acting COO of Nagomi Shabu-Shabu was our host that night. My first impression on the restaurant was bright, classy and the huge entrance gives people a welcome feeling.
Shabu shabu means swish swish, referring to the swishing action when cooking thinly sliced meat in the broth. This method of eating was actually introduced by Genghis Khan in the 13th century, who intended to feed his army more efficiently by gathering them around the food cooked in a huge pot of broth. It was then introduced in Japan in 1948 and subsequently to the whole world.

Maguro Pirikaara Age, Fried Tuna @ RM18 is an appetizer consisting of white and red tuna.

Soft Shell Crab or Spider Maki @ Rm18. It is a delicious hand roll sushi made using generous amount of deep fried soft shell crabs.

Swish Kobe Beef in the soup, then savoring it. Since young, I have read a lot of comics and watched some dramas from Japan. It is so expensive it can be considered a luxury.
How luxurious?
At Nagomi, it is priced at RM125 for 120g. That’s more than RM1000 for a kilo for a kg of the meat!

If Kobe Beef is too expensive, you can always opt for Ribeye which is available at RM21 (150g) via add on. For Ribeye shabu shabu set, it is RM39.

Sashimi Sake (salmon), priced at RM28 for 150g. The salmon can be swished in the broth too if you like.

Damn expensive food. Damn good food. But beware of cancer due to consuming too much raw food.
