So.... what did we have yesterday to commemorate Mother's Day? A very simple and Tasteless dinner... hahahhahaa.....
I invited my mum over for a "humble" steamboat dinner ... shy to say that the dinner didn't turn up so well... firstly, my soup was taste-less.... too bland... too "ching" as in chinese saying. My mum gave me lots of tips while she was eating... hahahhaaha....
though tasteless... all were being walloped in no time
hungry ma... tasteless also eat like nobody's biz!
ok, mum, just for tonight
we allow you to eat something sweet...
curi curi makan little bit..
guess where we went...
yes, right, Secret Recipe... for our desserts!

Happy mothers day to you Claire.. I was in Ipoh on Saturday and back on Sunday.. I did sent an email to you via my hp.. I am not sure if you get it or not.. ^_^
ReplyDeleteBut anyway.. its ok.. I forgot its a busy week for everybody.. ^_^
Take care...
Ohh I miss to have steamboat with my family in KK. -_-
Lovely snapshot of you and your Mother. The desserts all look yummy.
ReplyDeleteHaha.. We had steamboat at my in-law's house too!! But I made the soup base with ikan bilis. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteHmm... mebbe next time you come KL, I will buy and give you a jar of Thai Tomyam Paste. They're very nice, the paste very thick and you can just dump them into boiling water and in no time, you'll get a nice steamboat soup. :D Confirm will got taste wan. Hehehehehe....and next time, when you got no time to cook, can also use that to make some tomyam soup for yourself and your kids. takes 5-10 minutes only.
ReplyDeleteBland or not, tasteless or not, Claire, it's the thoughts that counts. =D If I'm there, no complaints, wallop je lah. Besides, tasteless soup won't overpower the seafood taste. :D
Secret Recipe's chocolate indulgence is my favourite. And their cheesecakes is to die for! I oso wanna eat. T_T

I tried preparing steamboat once too and the soup was tasteless as well. End up my mom said just buy those chicken cubes and throw a couple of them in. hahahaha..
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Mother's day to you! I reckon it's ok if the soup is tasteless though... after pouring all sort of fresh ingrdient, it would taste like "sheong tong"( broth)!!^-^
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day to you!
It's a good idea to do something special for our moms on Mother's Day, and those are yummy-looking desserts!
