Steamboat

My first in Cardiff. And it's home made. Cool huh?! (We had more food which couldn't fit into the pics)

It was an experience, but I don't think I want to do it again..or rather..not until a long time later. It takes too much time and effort to slice the meat into very thin slices, and the stuffs we have got aren't the most ideal items too. Limits of living abroad. Oh..and we managed to buy big prawns from Cardiff market at extorbitant prices..*rolls eyes*..but we're having a big crave for it..so oh well :)

And can't imagine having small arguments with him over one steamboat dinner. Treat it as a learning experience to accomodate each other, I suppose. He was grumbling that I'm opinionated and didn't understand why I had so much to say about everything while I'm grumbling about why he's so MCP.

I guess I see the differences between the types of food Singaporeans and Chinese go for. He loves having lamb and all types of animal organs, while I can only tolerate pig's liver. It was my first time cutting up kidneys and trying tripe. Tripe's not bad. Oh..and I tried lamb too. Wanted to try things which he loves, rather than just sitting there and giving him an odd stare as he gets excited over these. It was his first time trying fried fishballs too. He said he has never eaten fishballs before, and never knew what it was until he knew me....hahahaha.

I tried having coriander leaves mixed with hoisin sauce for the 1st time too. He said that's how people in China eats it, and although it did look gross, it tasted good. Was kinda afraid to put a mouthful into my mouth, so I was using my chopsticks to pick the leaves dipped in the sauce and then put it in. That tickled him. I must have looked silly.

But our soup tasted gross. It became quite thick, and had a smell which I reckon is the lamb. I didn't drink much of it at all.

I think we should just head to China China the next time we have a steamboat craving. Cheaper and much more convenient.

The evening ended sweet with dramas and ICE CREAM (he was laughing when I told him that my blood sugar is running low <------ it's my way of saying "I want to eat ice cream")

Can't wait for next week now. Hopefully the "thing" will arrive, and I'll be able to post pics of it up...hehehee...
