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 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐢 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐛 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐘𝐮𝐳𝐮 𝐙𝐞𝐬𝐭. 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 𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐤𝐨𝐭𝐬𝐮 𝐆𝐲𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐢 𝐃𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐮, 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 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐚 𝐈𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚, a traditional Japanese sweet consisting of azuki bean filling sandwiched between two thin mochi wafer. Love the presentation!
