Christmas Eve's Steamboat (at home)

When you have more commitments, you will start eating out less and celebrating less, like those Christmas lar, new year lar.. can be very costly if you eat out! For our case, we still hope to get the Christmas feel but we do not want to spend that much, that is why we have this.. steamboat at our house on Christmas eve!!

It's kind of weird to have steamboat at home for 2 person.. well, it's true, it's quite difficult to prepare too. If buy too much, cannot finish but if buy too little, it's like nothing much to eat.. hehe...

This is the 2nd time we used this steamboat, bbq pot since we bought it last year. what we have here? For bbq, we have chicken and pork marinate in curry powder, chicken and pork marinate in teriyaki sauce, and beef without marinate and also otak otak...For steamboat, we have fish balls, meat balls, abalone mushroom, vege, chicken, pork, beef, fish cake...

You may think it's not that much of food but it's really A LOT. We were not able to finish all these food!! hehe...After having this steamboat, we told ourselves not to have steamboat again in the near future but few days later we had steamboat again at FL's house.. hehe..really no more steamboat for this year. :)

Korean BBQ @ Daorae (Kepong)

When FL and I first visited the Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant (Kepong), we did not try their BBQ. The name of the restaurant already let us know that this is an BBQ restaurant but still we didn't try it, very regret, hehe so.. we decided to visit this Korean restaurant again to try their BBQ. Oh yes, another excuse to eat nice food. hehe..

A bowl of charcoal will be placed into this hole.

They will heat up a bowl of garlic before they start bbq. I think this will make the bbq smell nicer gua..Surrounding it are the free dishes where you can ask for refill if you like to have more.

Besides the free dishes, these vege and soup are free too... can ask for refill too. The soup taste nice, taste a bit like the white radish soup (白萝卜汤), nice!!

A plate of onions, free too, and can refill too..

some sauce..

If you want to try the BBQ, you have to at least order two different dishes (can be meat or toufu), so we ordered a plate of pork and a plate of beef and also a bowl of Kimchi soup (Kimchi-jjigae, RM 16) which comes with a bowl of rice. (we actually didn't want to order the soup but the boss (i think he's the boss gua, also a korean which speaks little bit english, we need to guess what's he's trying to tell us.. hehe..) kept insists that we should order the soup cos for korean bbq, soup is a must. hehe..that's wat he said lar, that is why we ordered.)

Dak-gai-bi, RM 27
which is pork marinate with dono what sauce. hehe..

Cha-dol-bae-gi, RM 40
which is beef..without marinate

The staff there will help us BBQ so basically we just sit back, relax and eat when they finished bbq. hehe.. hmm..it's quite enjoyable also, but I will prefer to bbq myself if they let me to... not sure whether can or not.. :)

So how to eat? According to the boss, you take a piece of vege, then put the meat above the vege, add some sauce, then you can add some onion too, so that's the way you eat...The pork taste nice, sweet... but the beef taste nicer...

While we're eating, the boss gave us a bowl of steam egg, free...

and this, egg pancake (i think), and it's free too..

Their BBQ is not cheap but the portion of the 2 dishes are very big and with all the free stuff, it's really enough for 3 or 4 person!! This meal took us Rm 91.30 (include 10% service charge), not cheap but it's worth it. Have you tried this before? If not you should really try one day...best to go with 3 or 4 friends, else really very hard to finish all these food...

Dinner on the plane (Eva Airways)

A lot of people said the food on plane sucks but after my recent trip to Taiwan with Eva Airways, I felt the food on plane is not that terrible lar. hehe..

It takes 4 hours+ to reach Taipei from KLIA (direct flight). My flight departed at 3pm+. An hour later after we departed, they served us some snacks. A packet of peanut and a cup of drinks (fruit juices, soft drinks, beer, wine and etc).

Snacks. A packet for each person

And another hour later, they served us dinner (5pm+). You can choose either fish with rice or chicken with noodle.

FL took chicken with noodle.. not so nice. hehe..

I took fish with rice. taste great.. maybe i'm super hungry lar. hehe..

Besides the rice/noodle, there's fruits, salad, bread and dessert. For drinks, first they will serve u fruit juice/wine/soft drinks/beer, then later on they served coffee or tea. Really not too bad lar the taste. hehe.. If you are a vegetarian, you have to let us know when you book your ticket, they will prepare the vegetarian food for you.
