Arashi Shabu-Shabu (岚新概念日式火锅) is a restaurant serving Shabu-Shabu (Japanese style Individual Hot Pot) at MyTown mall, Cheras. It is originally from Johor Bahru and now has opened branches in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur and also Penang. If you don’t know what is Shabu-Shabu, Shabu-Shabu is a Japanese hotpot dish with sliced fresh meat and vegetables boiled in soup according to Wikipedia. We went to Arashi Shabu-Shabu at MyTown Cheras twice. This review post and photos are from both of the visits. Let’s start with the food photos of Arashi Shabu-Shabu.
Food at Arashi Shabu-Shabu MyTown, Cheras
I ordered a set of Lamb Shabu-Shabu which comes with the Shabu-Shabu ingredients as in the photo above. There are spurting pork meatball, treasure bag, tofu, crab stick, lobster ball, fu chuk, mushroom, cabbage and green vegetables. The set costs RM 30.90.
The fresh slices of lamb that comes with my Lamb Shabu-Shabu set at Arashi Shabu-Shabu. There are 6 slices of thin cut fresh lamb. Just need to swipe it in the hot boiling soup for around 10 seconds before you can enjoy it. Remember not to overcook the meat as it will become hard to bite.

For my Lamb Shabu-Shabu set, I chose the pumpkin ramen. The pumpkin noodle is smoothly delicious. You can also choose white rice or bee hoon (rice vermicelli) to eat with the Shabu-Shabu.
My cooked lamb slice on the pumpkin ramen. The lamb meat is very flavourful.
The big spurting pork meatball from the Lamb Shabu-Shabu set. Only one pork ball for a set. You can add four more pork balls at RM 6.90.
Inside of the spurting pork meatball got juicy minced pork. Be careful when you bite into the ball as the juice might be spurting out.
The treasure bag is delicious too. If you want to add more, it is RM 9.90 for three bags.
On another visit to Arashi Shabu-Shabu MyTown, Cheras, I tried this Mix Beef and Pork combo Shabu-Shabu set with white rice.
This one is laupoh’s Mix fish and chicken combo Shabu-Shabu set. The ingredients that comes together are almost the same, only the meat is different.
Laupoh gave me one slice of the salmon slice. The salmon is fresh and yummy.
