Ganso-Shabuway

Vicky had tried Ganso-Shabuway hotpot (steamboat) restaurant with a client a few weeks ago, and couldn't resist asking Monique & myself back for a second round.  It's a specialty place for shabu-shabu, or Japanese-style hotpot, and the piece de resistance is their Kobe beef plate (200 grams) which comes in thinly sliced and so marbled that a 5 second dunk in the boiling soup is all that's needed for one to enjoy!  Absolutely so buttery-creamy!  As a less expensive alternative (about half the price), the Angus plate is also tasty, but not as marbled.  We took one plate of each, just to taste the difference, and in addition, we also had unagi (sea snake).  Their signature sesame sauce is such a delight--I must figure out how they make this stuff at home; it is very tasty.  The dunking soup comes in two variants--seaweed and miso, which was slightly on the spicy side.  I understand that this is a US franchise, and their branch at the 2nd floor of Greenbelt 5 is their maiden foray into the Philippine market.  All in all a good experience for us, just be prepared to spend something like P1,000 per head.
