Shabushabu and sukiyaki were once a fad two or three years ago, now the heat has gone down but there are still lovers around. Nabe One is a new shabushabu and sukiyaki shop at Tsim Sha Tsui, a branch shop after a successful launch of the main branch at Tuen Mun. Nabe One is also under the same group as Sushi One, Monster Sushi and baby Cafe.With all these shabushabu and sukiyaki shops all around Hong Kong, Nabe One stands out by offering over than 50 kinds of food at their buffet counters for th
With all these shabushabu and sukiyaki shops all around Hong Kong, Nabe One stands out by offering over than 50 kinds of food at their buffet counters for their shabushabu and sukiyaki. What's more, Nabe One has two froyo machines offering daily flavour Froyo and ice-cream. One other attribute I like about Nabe One is that their shop is very spacious for us to move around.
The ordering method is pretty much the same like other's Shabushabu places, just simply pick either shabushabu or sukiyaki, then pick the broth if you opt for shabushabu and finally choose the type of beef to share for the whole table. There are four price points for four different beef qualities, from US Beef, US Supreme Beef, Japanese Wagyu and Japanese Supreme Wagyu. The Japanese Pork is the same for all choices.
Shabushabu Broth - We tried four broths tonight and I will give a brief comments to all that I had tried. Korean Kimchi Soup is a mildly spicy broth with a weak kimchi taste, there is no kimchee in the broth. The Scallop Soup is quite nice with a fresh and sweet taste of seafood. Wagyu Spicy Miso Soup is a bit spicier than the Korean Kimchi Soup but still tastes pretty mild with no beef taste.
Tomato Pork Bone Soup was the favourite of the night, the soup has a strong taste of tomato and is very sweet. Lastly the beautiful Salmon Soy Milk Soup has a sweet salmon taste and mild milk taste, which is pretty nice too. I would recommend the Tomato Pork Bone Soup and the Salmon Soy Milk Soup for shabushabu.
Beef Taste and Texture ComparisonThe four beef qualities available at Nabe One are US Beef, US Supreme Beef, Japanese Wagyu and Japanese Supreme Wagyu.
The beautifully marbled Japanese Supreme Wagyu has the most tender texture. With its sparkling marble fat distribution, It is very creamy with smoothing fats and has the strongest beef taste of all. The Japanese Wagyu is also tender with mild creaminess, but has no beef taste.
The US Supreme Beef has a beautiful marble pattern as well and had a more delicate texture than the US Beef. However it is more lean and has less beef taste than the US Beef. I like the US Beef more, it has a more meaty and chewy texture which pairs nicely with the Shabushabu.
The Japanese Pork although has a beautiful fat distribution was obviously the least favourite on the table as there was leftovers. It has a strong gamey taste and is rough even with a good fat distribution.
Sukiyaki - is another main highlight of Nabe One. A small plate sitting a raw Japanese egg is served along with the sukiyaki, which is the most essential element of sukiyaki. The Japanese egg has a beautiful orangy yolk.
It was recommended to pair Japanese Supreme Wagyu with sukiyaki. When the Wagyu is cooked, it is dipped it into the nicely beaten egg yolk to consume. The now shinning Wagyu with a strong taste of sukiyaki and smoothing egg yolk taste heavenly together! Japanese does know how to appreciate food.
Assorted food at countersThere are a lot of different food at the buffet counters, mushrooms, meatballs, vegetables, tofu, sweet corns, noodles etc. Nabe One probably has the most variety of meatballs even in comparison with local cantonese hotpot places.
There are the classic fun types like the lobster ball, cheese stuffed fish ball, roe stuffed fish ball, but the two I found most special are the Spicy pork meat ball and the shrimp fish ball imported from Japan. The spicy pork meatball is not particularly spicy, but it is very savoury. The shrimp fish ball is something I have never tried before, it has a strong shrimp taste but is quite salty in taste.
The pasta is also an amazing pair with the sukiyaki, especially the one Nabe one offers which is very eggy.
The wagyu beef fried rice is said to be amazing, to me it is just okay. The beef curry tastes very homey to me, like curry that you can make at home. Definitely not a curry that is comparable with Izumi or Coco Curry etc.I personally recommend US beef for Shabushabu and Japanese Supreme Wagyu Beef for Sukiyaki. For the mid range beef, don't even bother ordering them. Either go meaty with Shabushabu or fatty melting, creamy Wagyu with sukiyaki. Or you can top a plate of Japanese Supreme Wagyu for shabushabu as it was nice with shabushabu too. Supreme Wagyu simply tastes much, MUCH nicer with sukiyaki!
