Jerry treat us all to steamboat 😀
It’s not something that happens often, so we really gotta treasure the moment!
Love the company… but the food would need to work harder.
Soup base is the soul of all steamboat! 🙂
Finally brought dad and try Tang Shifu~
Guess what, they serve “poon choi” also known as big bowl feast. Something that dad always wanted to try! 😀
Really yummy, delicious and nourishing dinner! Dad looks so happy and definately enjoys his dinner.
And that really makes me happy.
And yup, we already started our plan to bring him back during his birthday dinner!

After the long postponement for our Korean BBQ arrangement, which dated back to years ago… we finally did it. Evan is back in town for a short break, and it’s definately PAY BACK time Evan! LOL~
After checking online, we finally decided on DAORAE, the Korean BBQ Restaurant which has quite and amount of franchise. We actually opt for the Sri Hartamas shop since it’s easier to find parking and the nearest to us. LOL… not forgetting, it’s situated above a Korean Mart, where we can do a little “Anyonghaseyo” shopping~ Yeay~
As how I normally enter a Korean restaurant, I’m quickly overwhelmed with the amount of side dishes (Banchan) served. Yeay!! We scored a 9 cheop! Now, normally the more amount of Banchan served… it’s suppose to mean a more luxurious or high class the dining is. Normally ranges from 3, 5, 7, 9 and even 12 cheop, with 12 cheop being the highest number on scale and normally served in Korean Royal Cuisine.
Check out more variety and details of Banchan.
Wow… MEAT!!! Yup, Korean dish is never complete without the BBQ meat and Bibim-bap. And we seriously ordered loads of meat, two porky pork dish… Hangjung sal and Maeun Dweji Gal-bi and a plate of yummy beef… Gal-bi-sal. Oooo… they all taste seriously good. I mean really, what can go wrong with BBQ meat. If the meat is cook to perfection, it’ll taste extremely good even with just light seasoning or even without seasoning it.
And being a Chinese, rice is essential 🙂 and in a Korean restaurant, a Doisot Bibim-bab is the best mixture of both… the korean culture and rice… oh and I nearly forget, veges and mushroom!!! I like totally~
More variety and details of Korean BBQ meat here.
And we’re not done yet. We are accompanied by Kimchi jeon as well as Kimchi jeon-gol. The Kimchi jeon (Kimchi pancake) is simply awesome. Wooo, generoud amount of Kimchi and definately hot hot hot. But the moment the Kimchi jeon-gol (Kimchi hotpot) arrived at our table, all eyes are on it. It tasted awesome and not as hot as the colour may potray… and wow… it comes with Korean noodles! Now we basically completed everything, banchan… bbq meat… kimchi… bibim-bab… noodles… soup 😀 *ahhh* I can finally rub my tummy.
And what completes the meal and meet up would definately be a good chit chat over coffee. Yeay!!! Thanks Evan, for the awesome lunch and get together.

The main reason why I love Chinese New Year the most, is a great get together with my parents and of course, the joy of eating my mummy’s delicious homecook food.
In my opinion, my mum and dad is really a good cook. Hehe… and as much as I try to learn, I still can’t seems to achieve the taste of my mum’s cooking. What’s weird is, my mum doesn’t really like to cook. *haha* and yet, she can cook such superb dishes. So imagine if my mum enjoys cooking, think she will cook more amazing dishes!
Oh yeah, aside from those yummy cooking, I enjoy to see how the dishes are being served on the Chinese New Year cutleries whereby my mum will only use it once a year.
*burp* *rub tummy* I feel full and heavy! 😐
Mmm… I wonder what will come to mind when we mention chinese tradition food. If you really ask me, when someone mention chinese tradition food… the first thing that comes to my mind is Manchu Han Imperial Feast. *LOL* 😀 Guess I seriously watch too much Hong Kong drama.
But really… I really wonder if someday I could ever try it in my lifetime. Then again, doubt we can get the original version anymore… since some of the dishes are banned as it is deemed cruelty to animal, such as live monkey brain, bear palm and even some exotic animal’s fetus. Well.. I guess the ultimate question is, can I handle the exotic-ness of the food!
But then again, around 320 dishes across 3 days of feast! An average of 100++ dish per day. Haha… I seriously tried like 30 dish a day and my stomach almost exploded!
Now, if you ask me… the second thing that come close to the Manchu Han Imperial Feast would be a more modern food, Dim Sum. Haha… guess I love food that has a large variety and choice, but what I love most is, it comes in small portions bite-sized food served in bamboo steamer basket and small plates.
Then again, of course Dim Sum can never replace Manchu Han Imperial Feast’s position, since Dim Sum is just a snack while the Imperial Feast is a whole feast!
*LOL* As of current, if I order a plate of everything and just have a bite of everything, do you think I can finish all the variety of Dim Sums? I seriously wonder… *mmmm* 😐
Of all the variety, how many type have we tried? Guess someday, I must really list down and see which few I haven’t tried before.
I recently complained to my parents that since young, they only brings us to the same place to eat when we visited Seremban.
It’s always pork innards congee, pepper fish head noodles or pork satay.
And this time around, I try to persuade my parents to go discover new foods in Seremban.
My friend from Seremban introduced me to a Seremban dish – Baked Crabs .
After some checking and asking around, my dad brought us to Choy Kee Food Stall.
Apparently, it is a highly recommended place for baked crabs by my dad’s colleague.
The place doesn’t look that posh but as always, we can’t judge good food by the looks of a restaurant!
Since it was our first visit, we tried dishes recommended by the restaurant staff.
The stew pork belly with white radish is simply awesome.
The pork belly is so tender and the radish simply just melts in the mouth!
Together with the thick, rich and flavourful sauce; it goes just so well with white rice.
I seriously gave it a 2 thumbs up!
The steamed fish with dried preserved vegetables is also very yummy.
The fish is very fresh and tender. This is also my first time trying a steam fish cooked this way.
The fish is refreshing and the preserved vegetables saltiness are not too overpowering.
But the best surprise, there is no fishy taste even when there is no ginger included in the dish!
I must praise the chef that throws in a few cili padi which elevates the steam fish dish to a whole new level.
As for the stir fried kangkung belacan, it was great.
I am not sure how should I put it since I don’t talk much about stir fried vegetables as it was pretty common.
The vegetables is crunchy and the belacan taste is so strong.
If there is something I can complain about, probably it is a little too oily.
The star ⭐ dish is finally here – Bake Marmite Crabs .
I personally love it, as most of the time we ordered crab dishes that has strong flavours such as butter cream sauce, butter cheese sauce, salted egg or kam heong.
However, this Baked Marmite Crabs is simply lovely. It has a lightly caramelized marmite taste after the baking.
The dish is quite dry and also have a sweet aftertaste which enhanced the meaty crab taste itself.
The crabs were fresh and are really big!
Super big crabs also comes with a super hefty price tag (RM50 per kilo).
At the end of the meal, my stomach is definitely bursting and I am sure I have gained a few kilos.
But I am sure it is definitely worth gaining that few kilos.
Right before we left, I told my dad “trying new places isn’t such a bad idea” in which dad laughed and nodded.

It’s been really long since I mess the kitchen! Guess my mum will say thank god. Cause the cleaning up process takes longer hours than preparing the food! *LOL* 😀
Well, in my opinion… I think cooking is not as hard as it seems. I think it’s way easier than cleaning up! Haha… which is ironically, me and my mum can partner very well… cause she prefer cleaning to cooking!
So, one fine weekend… I decided to cook for my parents! Which seriously shocked them, since I never cook for quite some time 🙂 . The Stuffed Tomatoes with Cheese Tofu and Bacon was new recipe which I adapt and alter from some chinese cook show! I thought it tasted ok only. Hemm… added too much water which affects the reduction! And I think this dish screams “more cheese please!!”
Mmm… as for the Stuffed Mushroom, well that was easy-peasy and I guess it’s been done by gazillion people! So… yahoo!!! Mum say it was perfect! Ok ok… I made that up. She said it was yummy. Dad was speechless. He say not complaining means it taste good.
Yeay! Mooncake Festival is around the corner and I’ve decided to make my own jelly mooncake. Yup, fruity jelly mooncake! Jelly mooncake stuffed with kiwis and lychee.
Mmmm… I’m gonna make more, hehe… this time, I’ll make different flavours! Probably with ice cream too! Then again… still wondering how to prevent the ice cream from melting! Hemmmm…..
Wow , we finally got the opportunity to try out the BIG “Bad” Matterhorn Burger.
Earlier last month, Deon tried it with his friends and he just can’t stop telling me how good it was.
So I decided to try it together with my VVIPs.
Reservation is a must!
They needed to prepare the ingredients at least a day in advance.
To ensure the burger is still hot and juicy, we will then need to call up the restaurant 1 hour in advance for them to prepare the HUGE burger!
The BIG Bad Matterhorn Burger is definitely the highlight of the shop.
We can see that everyone in the restaurant turn around and looked at the burger when it is served.
While I am aware and well prepared to face the burger and I know it will be big, I am still shocked.
The burger just seems so much bigger and thicker than what I expected.
The BIG Bad Matterhorn Burger is made of:
2 large burger bun (around 450g – which is like 9 inch in diameters)
loads of tomatoes (around 370g)
cucumber pickles (around 200g)
lettuce (200g)
4 slices of bacon,
11 slices of cheese (around 200g) and
this super thick and juicy pork burger patty (around 1.5kg!)
The size of The BIG Bad Matterhorn Burger can literally hide our face.
I was very surprised that the burger is not dry and the meat patty is not rough and still juicy despite how big and thick the patty was.
I was so worried the patty will be overcooked on the outside and undercooked in the middle.
The overall combination was great. The pickled cucumber adds a little sourish taste which balanced out the oily feeling, the crispy bacon and the crunch from the lettuce. It tasted really good and juicy!
There is no way one can avoid the mess. You will definitely need to cut, serve and dig in with both hands.
This burger is for sharing and I would say at least with another 3 or 4 person.
I love every single bit of the burger and will come back for sure.
Anyone want to join me?
The BIG “Bad” Matterhorn burger cost RM112 if you order it on ala carte.
However for big eaters, you can stand a chance to enjoy the burger for free when you join the MATTERHORN CHALLANGE.
