I am a big fan of hotpot and when I heard that @marusaya_singapore has launched a NEW Tonkotsu Gyokai soup, I just have to try it!
The new Tonkotsu Gyokai soup is a delightful combination of robust pork soup and gyokai (fish dashi soup) prepared with their signature Dashi. In addition, they used freshly shaved Katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) to add to the sweetness and depth of the broth. No wonder the broth was so hearty and flavourful!
We started our meal with ๐๐ก๐๐ฐ๐๐ง๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฎ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ. Silky smooth egg custard paired with fresh and meaty snow
crab was just the perfect way to warm up our palates! To make a wonderful blend of flavors, we combined the yuzu zest with the egg custard and snow crab.
Next, we had the ๐๐จ๐ง๐ค๐จ๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฎ ๐๐ฒ๐จ๐ค๐๐ข ๐๐๐ฌ๐ก๐ข ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฎ, which requires for a minimum of 2 diners. We had the A5 Wagyu Beef Umami Part and Hokkaido Pork. I like it that they served Tonkotsu Gyukai Dashi Shabu with ramen and assorted vegetables, so you can slurp up all the remaining broth!
A special point to note is that they have six different kinds of dipping sauce to pair the shabu with - Ponzu Vinegar, Sesame, Sour Plum, Leek Sesame Oil, Sukiyaki and Yuzu Rice Malt. My personal favourite was the Yuzu Rice Malt as it pairs well with the meat and refreshes our palates at the same time!
We ended the hearty meal with ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ค๐, a traditional Japanese sweet consisting of azuki bean filling sandwiched between two thin mochi wafer. Love the presentation!
