## What we ordered: basic shabu with beef chuck, spicy shabu with beef belly

Shabu Torang Shabu — added meat (beef chuck) — mixed toppings — fresh sujebi (hand-torn noodle) dumplings

Spicy Shabu-shabu — added meat (beef belly) — added meat and vegetables (beef belly) — mixed toppings

Cider (Korean lemon-lime soda)

We ordered one basic shabu-shabu and one spicy shabu-shabu so we could compare the two flavors.

### How the basic Shabu Torang Shabu tastes: clean and mild

First up, the basic shabu-shabu! I added extra meat to mine. There's just something fun about cooking meat to your liking in the broth, haha.

Eating the meat, vegetables and various toppings together made for a fully satisfying meal, and since it's eaten with broth, it was perfect for the chillier weather. Shabu-shabu itself isn't a strongly flavored dish, so if you want something clean and light, the basic menu is a good choice.

### The spicy shabu-shabu broth, for bold-flavor lovers

Compared to the basic shabu-shabu, the broth is clearly spicier, so it should suit anyone who likes a bolder flavor.

### Meat and vegetable add-ons and cheap after-dishes

The great thing about Shabu Torang is that you can add meat or vegetables and build the meal exactly how you want. Since we like meat, we added extra meat, but if you want a lighter meal you could just add vegetables — nice to have that flexibility! Also, once you finish the main dish, you can order pasta, risotto or tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) as an after-dish at low prices, so adding more feels less of a burden.
