Pinoy Food & Other Cuisine :: Food PhotoBlog and Events |

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Healthy Shabu-Shabu Contest! To recap: two weeks ago, we did a feature on Healthy Shabu-Shabu’s newest offerings – the Beef Wagyu dish and the King Crab Dish. We then asked our readers which of the two they’d like to try out, plus who they want to bring to Healthy Shabu-Shabu with them. Although we received an overwhelming number of responses (over 100 comments!), we can only choose the three most interesting or witty entries. Each winner will receive a P1,000 gift certificate to Healthy Shabu-Shabu so they can try out the dish of their choice with the person of their choice. I didn’t realize there were so many shabu-shabu fans out there with interesting stories to tell, and it was really tough picking the three winners. I hope you all get to try out Healthy Shabu-Shabu’s new dishes even if your entries weren’t chosen.

And the winners are….

Winners: can you please email me at noemidado@gmail.com for your address so I can send GC there.

Ganns

I’m a guy with lots of flab, so I would try the great King Crab.
Shabu-shabu is healthy, so I’d try that, most def’nitely.
I also like the wagyu beef, but this time, I choose “Barrier reef,”
And pick the crab that tastes so fine, to help decrease my huge waistline.
I’d cast aside my seafood fear, for this year marks the seventh year
Since I became a husband to, a woman who loves you-know-who.
Anniv meal for Caths and Ganns, if you bless us with this chance,
Would take place at The Block Mall, where Healthy Shabu has a stall,
Wait, not a stall, but restaurant, because this hot pot’s what I want.
It’s a healthy anniv day, come on, Noemi, what do you say?

Ria

On my last birthday, my mom took me and my brothers out for a shabu-shabu dinner but true to form, the two boys argued all through dinner, thus mom did not have a pleasant evening.

If I won this contest, I’d pick the King Crab and take my mom to dinner so we can can catch up on what we missed the last time we tried to have dinner out together. If there is one kind of food she likes, it’s definitely crab. Also, since I don’t live with her anymore, it’s been a long time since we’ve really had a good heart-to-heart talk. This dinner together will definitely be a good chance to do just that.

1. I would go for the King Crab because I just saw the trailer of “Wapakman” and there’s a scene where Manny Pacquiao was kung-fu fighting a GIANT CRAB (You can suck on that, Tobey Maguire!) As a form of gratitude to our “Pambansang Kamao”, I would eat his movie opponent.

2. Since having The Pacman as a dinner companion is far-fetched, I would go for the next best option: my friend Benjo who is a deadringer for Miguel Cotto minus the Puerto Rican accent.

Congratulations to all the winners! Expect an email from me within the week.
