Pineapple Tart

Another CNY goodies, Pineapple Tarts! Making these tarts took me 7 hours, didn't sleep the whole night, finished at 7am... First time making pineapple tarts didn't know it will take so long, next time definitely will not start at 12 midnight :P



Fresh from the oven, yummy pineapple tarts :)

Pork Floss Mini Spring Roll

Chinese New Year is here and I am so excited to try out some CNY recipes. Initially, never thought of making anything for CNY but after reading my friend's blog, I got inspired and excited to come up with something!

Fuh! Making these pork floss mini spring roll is really a chore. It took me 11 hours to just get 2 containers filled. Can you believe it?? Next time must get someone to help me as this time round I was doing it alone. It's the filling and folding of the roll that took up most of my time, the frying of the roll was a breeze, it only took 5 minutes :)

Hot from the wok, Pork Floss Mini Spring Rolls! Crunchy & Yummy :)

Frying the mini rolls...

The ingredients: Pork floss, spring roll skins & homemade glue.

Blueberry Muffin

First time making muffin, was thinking to start with the basic vanilla muffin but found some blueberries in the fridge, so decided to make these blueberry muffin :)

Mini Butter Cookies

Did this some time ago but only now I have the time to upload the pictures. It was fun making these cookies but seriously it is very time consuming. However, looking at the outcome, it worths all effort that I have put in :)

All ready to go into the oven!

Just fresh out from the oven.

Beautiful mini butter cookies :)

Shabu-Shabu Restaurant - RM 25 for ALL YOU CAN EAT!

Have you heard of Shabu-Shabu? I believed you have. For those who do not know what it is, Shabu-Shabu is a Japanese dish of thin slices of meat and vegetables cooked at table in a simmering pot of broth, then dipped into any of various sauces. It is something similar to our steamboat, the favourite amongst the Chinese.

However, for Shabu-Shabu you do not dump everything at once into the simmering pot & let it overcooked like what some of us usually do with steamboat. For Shabu-Shabu, first of all, you add in the vegetables & let it cook, the sweetness of the fresh vegetables will make the soup taste sweet (no MSG is needed :P). Then, only you dip in the slices of meat, dip until the meat is just cooked, don't overcook it. Overcooked slices of meat will be too chewy.

~ The yummy pot, yum yum...~

Recently, we have found this Shabu-Shabu Restaurant located in Bandar Puteri Puchong which offer Shabu-Shabu in quite a different way. Normally, the broth for Shabu-Shabu is served in one big pot for all. This restaurant begs to differ. They serve the broth in a small individual pot. I find this very hygienic, you only dip into your own pot of broth instead of sharing one big pot with others.

~ The individual pot ~

Not only that, the fresh ingredients are served on a conveyor belt in small covered plates, like a sushi bar. So, you can choose whatever you like from the moving conveyor belt. Each type of ingredients are served in small portion like 2 slices of meat or 2 meatballs in a plate, and you can take as much as you wish to. To my surprise, they have more than 100 of ingredients for you to choose from. Just to name a few: beef slices, mutton slices, fish slices, chicken slices, spinach, broccoli, radish, red carrot, sweet corn, mushrooms, baby octopus, mussels, fried yam roll, yong tau fu, sea cucumber, korean kimchi, fried dumpling, french fries & many many more....You name it, they have it! No joke...Just look at the menu below :)

~ The pork slices & fresh prawns~

~ The baby octopus ~

Look at the menu, can you try all at once? Hehe... I doubt :P

Of course, drinks are also included. In short, everything is FREE FLOW! Cool ya?

The best of all is it is only RM25 (excluding taxes) per person for ALL YOU CAN EAT! So, eat till you drop :-)

If you decided to give it a try, be there early as there will be a long queue especially during weekend or dinner time.

The restaurant is located at:
