Shabu Sai
One of the best all you can eat Shabu-Shabu in Singapore. Offering a wide variety of fresh ingredients with 4 choices of soup, your meal would
be perfect and full of color. Ultimate recommendation would be Kimchi and Sukiyaki soup with more beef and pork. It’s tasty, juicy and rich in flavor. However, since the crowd is too high especially during peak hour and weekend, reservation is necessary.
