Eating healthy doesn’t mean you have to take all the fun out of your dining experience, particularly when this means eating low-calorie but otherwise bland food.
If you’re up for a truly enjoyable and still healthy dining experience, you should try shabu shabu, a Japanese method of cooking using a hot pot. Cook-your-own dining establishments such as this allow you to get only portions that you know you can finish, pick only the food you prefer, and vary your food’s cooking time as you please. Eating at shabu shabu places is also a refreshing new way to bond with friends and family. And for young parents, this is a great way to teach kids to prepare their own meals and make them appreciate nutritious food.
One establishment which offers this is Healthy Shabu Shabu, which has branches in several malls around the metro. I recently got to dine in their Shangri-La Plaza Mall branch when they held a shabu shabu workshop for kids. It was great because I got to appreciate shabu shabu through this experience, and realized that this method does not mean throwing all raw food into a pot of boiling water and stirring them a bit then you’re good to go.
