Kobe Shabu-Shabu Buffet

7 June 2008 @ Bangkok, Thailand

I saw this poster at the MBK Mall earlier of the day and I told my friends to check out the shop. Looks pretty interesting with only RM10 for one buffet.


Took us quite some time to find this little shop right at the top floor little corner. After confirming it's 100Baht per person, we wrote our name in the waiting list.


We waited about 30 minutes before reaching our turn because there were quite a lot of people queueing up for the grand opening promotion!

SS time!

Everything is packed in a little plastic container so that it's easier for the customers to choose and take the ingredients they want.

Some parts of the shelves were empty because it's quite late already.

The Thais are really specific with the sauces used for their food. Just look at the number of sauces available. They usually mix and add spiciness/ sourness according to their taste. And yes, they can really take spicy stuffs.


Those are the meats and vegetables to be boiled. Each person has a little pot of boiling soup to cook the food.


Here's a little video on the environment and drinking a special tea. [Few days later we found out that it's called the Thai Iced Tea]



Then the creative us decided to create our own dish [after seeing the guy beside us doing so]. It's only egg + pork. Taste a bit salty because the marinated pork itself is salty.

Jeng! Jeng! Jeng! [wasn't supposed to turn out like this]


Finished our dinner! Fuh~ Really satisfying...

This is our second buffet in our trip after Cambodia's. [We'll have another buffet in Laos too] Yummy... Yummy... Billy, out.

MIFC 2008 - Team Canada

20 August 2008 @ Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC)

Malaysia International Fireworks Competition 2008 [site] is here again. This time China, Canada, Spain and of course Malaysia will be participating.

After eating some spicy hot pots, Me, Carmen, Phuah and Eunice head off to Putrajaya to meet up with Shen Wei and her family in PICC. We're going to watch Canada's fireworks!

Luckily ShenWei got there early to get a good spot

I was setting up the little camera with my mini tripod just above 10cm off the ground. At first I also paiseh to take out my camera compared to all the pro cams behind me.

But I don't care lah, I also want to take pictures what...

Ooopz, ter-flashed [my fren said it's nice. Nice kah?]

Before the fireworks start [the lights on bridge is still on]

Here it goes! Enjoy the photos...














Here're 2 short videos for Canada fireworks. We Will Rock You [9 seconds] & I Do It For You [88 seconds].





I think team Canada did a pretty good job on the performance. I wonder which team will win. Do catch the finale on 29 August if you're interested, but go there early as the place will be really congested. Billy, out.

Chongqing Chicken Hot Pot

20 August 2008 @ Kuchai Lama

Before we head off to Putrajaya for fireworks, we had dinner at Kuchai Lama - Chongqing Chicken Hot Pot (重庆鸡公煲), recommended by my friend, Carmen.




So, we ordered 2 pots. One with chicken and another one with pork ribs. We chose the lowest level of spiciness, as a start. [there're 3 levels of spiciness to choose]


Tada!

After having a couple of pieces, we challenged ourselves by asking the waitress to increase the level of spiciness to one of the pots. You can really feel the difference!

Introducing the people who took the challenge. First, Carmen, the one that lead us to this shop. The one that cannot tahan spicy the most.

Carmen - Ah~ so spicy.. drink more water...


Me - fu.. ha.. I love spicy but I can't take it. fu.. ha...


Phuah - thumbs up! [he's enjoying the excitement]


Eunice - it's good but I still need the water...


After eating everything from the pots, we requested to add in more soup for steamboat. Yes, we can add in other stuffs picked from the fridge inside the shop.


There're various vegetables, noodles and meatballs to be added into the soup. Each basket priced from RM1 to RM4.

looks like clay pot yee mee

looks like Bak Kut Teh

Then I saw this sticker on the window - this shop has been featured in Ho Chak! by 8TV!


If you like spicy food, it's worth a try. Check out their highest level of spiciness and let me know whether your lips turned into a "double sausages".

Thanks Carmen for bringing us there. Enjoyed it. Billy, out.
