Steamboat & Grill @ Two Plus One BBQ Restaurant

Despite the weather being so hot and humid yesterday night, we still went for steamboat and grill near Tesco Extra in Bercham. The restaurant is Two Plus One BBQ . They have a steamboat pot whereby you can two broth for the steamboat, either a chinese herbal soup or tomyam soup and they have the grill pan at the edge , round the steamboat stove. This is for those who just love grill and steamboat together. Quite cheap RM22 per head , eat all you want. Food was just average. But I was too lazy to cook and also to celebrate Piggy’s achievement in her finals . And she is top student and won the Book Prize award  from her college for outstanding achievement in the Engineering Faculty. I was too happy with the news that I just want to paint the town red with my Piggy gal *wink excuses I know ( just don't feel like cooking ). Just want to relax and fellowship with her before she leaves for UK in May. I know I will surely be love sick for my Piggy when she goes over to UK :(  Since she wants to have steamboat, we went to the nearest restaurant where they serve both steamboat and grill :))

Subway Sandwiches

I love eating and I think I have grown sideway the last few weeks. Eating and walloping all the sinfully decadent food….and this long Subway sandwiches is enough to make me bloat sideways. Jo and myself were in KL last week and while waiting for the Ipoh bound train , our stomachs were rumbling like a hunger tiger so we went straight to Subway and stuffed ourselves to this long sandwiches piled with smoked turkey ham and lots of greens salad. I can’t tell you how yummilicious they were but these can’t beat the ones that Piggy boy had in New York. They were almost a foot long and he had a swell time munching them and this story of his  ‘Subway sandwiches in New York ‘ was retold again and again * my eyes will be rolling backward each time he tells the story of his NYsandwiches.

Plain Roast Chicken Leg Dipped In Garlicky Balsamic Vinegar

At times laziness takes over and I will just cook simple. Plain Roast Chicken Leg and dipped In Garlicky Balsamic Vinegar . I still have half a bottle of balsamic vinegar and have to use it up fast for I do not like to keep them too long in the fridge. You know what I mean...occupied space is one thing but the expiry factor is another :)  Piggy gal Joanna had left for KL for a seminar briefing concerning her trip to UK to finish her engineering degree. So,  left these two old folks to have candle light dinner at home....romantic anot? * wink.  Of course !! romantic when we are not having fights lol ! After twenty seven years of marriage we have stopped fighting.....mellowed already.....have learnt to appreciate each other and have more candle lights dinners ..especially when TNB breaks down  :p 

Spaghetti Aglio Olio For Beatrice's Birthday - Pot Bless

We had a pot bless on Sunday night in church which coincide with the chinese ' Chap Goh Meh ' night. I really don't know what to cook when my friend Honey rang me up and asked me what I am bringing for the pot bless. After some thoughts, with me just back from the bloggers meet up in KL, I decided to make something simple and easy to prepare and at the same time doesn't tires me out. And this was the best dish to take for pot bless. Spaghetti Aglio Olio with lots of cherrry tomatoes would be ideal for the nite function. This pasta would be a hit with my church members...They love this flavorful pasta and I love to cook this for it is simple and is easy to prepare.
