Nagomi Shabu-Shabu Restaurant is ever so busy

Nagomi Shabu-Shabu Restaurant not only serves shabu-shabu but also a variety of Japanese food such as sashimi, maki and sushi sets. But being in a shabu-shabu restaurant, you definitely can’t give the shabu-shabu a miss.

Nagomi offers few types of shabu-shabu, mainly sliced beef (Wagyu Ribeye or Kobe), chicken and duck meat. Also patrons could choose the type of soup/broth of choice. If my memory serves me right, there are chicken broth, duck broth and of course the more signature broth and the more popular one, the Nagomi broth.

Kobe Beef!

The waitress recommended that we ordered 1 set to share which consist of the poultry or meat, mix vegetable with oyster mushroom and tofu and a bowl of rice. That we could add later if the portion is not enough. We took her advised for the set and selected Nagomi broth for the base. As we are avid fans of Kobe beef, naturally we also opted for Kobe beef. It cost cheaper than those in Ninja Jones. Here it’s RM139.00 for 120gram while Ninja Jones charge RM189.00 for 100gram.

The Wagyu Ribeye cost about RM30.00++ i think. So if you’re thinking that Kobe is too expensive you could always select the Wagyu.

Mix vege

For those who doesn’t know how to make do with the shabu-shabu, there is actually a step by step instruction on the menu itself. It goes something like this.

1) Add all vegetable into the hot boiling broth to enhance the sweetness of the broth.
2) Take the beef slice (or the poultry of your choice) by the chopstick and gently dip it into the broth. Make a quick swish, then take the slice out so that the beef is not overcooked.
3) Dip the beef into the 3 type of sauce (ponzu, sesame and garlic plus chili) provided before consuming.
5) Add the rice into the leftover broth and let the congee simmer in the broth for a while for the best taste.

I over did the swishing so it’s a bit overcooked LOL.

As we found out the portion is more than enough. The Kobe beef was as usual, tender to the taste. Although i must admit that it taste better grilled, it was awesome. The broth gets better while it boiled. The whole time taking in the sweetness of the meat and vegetables. We added eggs into our electric pots so by the end of our eating session, it was thick and just right before we added in the rice.

3 types of sauces

Aside from the shabu-shabu, the Sake Duluxe Maki was pretty good too. Of course we liked it coz we love ebiko (fish eggs) plus the salmon was very fresh. Not unusual but good.

Overall, i think it’s quite a good place for shabu-shabu. The environment and service was good. I should say that the price is a little bit higher than other shabu-shabu places but not too bad because the food is fresh and they offer top-notch quality beef. We would probably go for the Wagyu beef instead if we do come again. LOL Kobe beef is making us poor LOL. The only complaint i have is that the drinks are pretty expensive. RM8.00 for a glass of ice lemon tea?!

Nagomi Soup – RM8.00
Ice Lemon Tea – RM8.00
Jasmine GReen Tea – RM6.00
Kobe Beef Shabu Shabu – RM139.00
Enoki Mushroom (Add On) – RM5.00
Raw Egg x2 (Add On) – RM3.00
Sake Deluxe Maki – RM16.00

Total: RM212.75 (RM185.00 + RM18.50 – service + tax)
