The smell and sight of bubbling broth and sizzling meat — there’s nothing better. The people of Japan struck gold in the 20th century when they created shabu shabu. A type of hot pot meal where you dip vegetables, meat, and other food into flavoured broth to cook, shabu shabu is becoming increasingly popular in Singapore. Accompanied by various dipping sauces, going to a shabu shabu buffet is a great and affordable way to fill your belly, not to mention giving your taste buds a wild ride. Here are the best shabu shabu buffet places in Singapore.
