Shabu Fuku — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

Authentic Way to Cook Shabu Shabu Ingredients: High-quality Wagyu beef, thinly sliced Chutoro (medium fatty tuna), thinly sliced Fresh vegetables: napa cabbage, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, carrots, and spinach Tofu, cut into cubes Udon or glass noodles Kombu (kelp) for dashi broth Dipping sauces: ponzu (citrus soy sauce) and goma (sesame sauce) Condiments: chopped green onions, grated daikon, chili oil, and fresh lemon

Instructions: Prepare the Dashi Broth: Soak a piece of kombu in water for 30 minutes. Slowly bring the water to a near boil, then remove the kombu right before it starts boiling to prevent bitterness. This forms a light, umami-rich base. Set Up the Shabu Shabu Pot: Place the pot with dashi at the center of the table on a portable burner, keeping the broth at a gentle simmer. Prepare Ingredients: Arrange the thinly sliced Wagyu and chutoro beautifully on platters. Place vegetables, tofu, and noodles in separate bowls. Cooking: Using chopsticks, swish the Wagyu slices in the simmering broth for about 5-10 seconds until they change color. This method, "shabu shabu," mimics the swishing sound, hence the name. For chutoro, briefly dip it to lightly warm the surface, preserving its delicate texture and flavor. Cook vegetables and tofu to preferred tenderness. Dipping and Enjoying: Dip the cooked meat and vegetables into ponzu or goma sauce. Customize with condiments like green onions, grated daikon, or chili oil for added flavor. Finishing Touch: After enjoying the meat and vegetables, add noodles to the remaining broth to absorb the rich flavors. Simmer briefly and savor the hearty finish.

Pro Tip: Pair with sake or a light Japanese beer to enhance the umami experience. The good quality Wagyu and chutoro will shine with this simple, authentic...

Shabu Fuku @ Avenue K

Atmosphere: Casual, contemporary, minimalist Japanese interior decor. There weren’t many guests when we there. Hence, there was plenty of space. Bright, clean and peaceful.

Service: Staff were friendly and able to provide tailored recommendations .

Food: Ordered 2x standard mame buffet. This restaurant is famous for their unlimited A5 Wagyu and other typical Japanese Shabu Shabu dishes on the menu but any wastages will incur a penalty of RM 498/gram.

To start we ordered the short plate, chuck roll, mixed vegetables, seafood platter, uni chawan mushi, foies gras chawan mushi, salmon belly, caviar & ikura cone. Both the short plate and chuck roll was steeped in sukiyaki sauce awhile and it was tender and beefy.

Next, we followed up with another chuck roll and brisket. The brisket is equally fatty but meatier. We had freshly chucked oysters, fresh unagi, scallops (hotate). Ending with dessert of petite cakes and Haagen-Daazs ice cream on stick. The salted caramel was crunchy and crispy. Delicious!

Price: Paid around RM 370 plus per person.

We visited this restaurant during lunch, and it was nearly empty, with only one other table occupied. The restaurant offers two distinct price tiers: a premium option at over 400 MYR per person and a standard tier at around 200 MYR per person. Their online marketing is misleading, showcasing the high-grade ingredients of the premium tier while advertising the price of the standard one. The actual dining experience was a significant letdown. The quality of the beef was a major disappointment; it was a far cry from the marbled, high-grade beef featured in their advertisements. The seafood was similarly average, lacking the freshness one would expect at this price point. Only the oysters were of acceptable quality. For the price, the experience felt unrefined. You could find far more consistent and higher-quality meals at other fine dining establishments for a similar cost. However, if you are a big eater and prioritize quantity, this restaurant might satisfy your beef cravings. For those seeking a true high-end culinary experience with premium ingredients, you would need to opt for the expensive tier. But be mindful that the richness of genuine Wagyu can be overwhelming, so consider your appetite and tolerance for fatty meats before committing to the...
