Home Sweet Home

Our Hot Pot Dinner


The weather was pretty much sucks. It was raining on and off. We spent the whole morning & afternoon at home watched DVDs (Curb your enthusiasm – comedy from HBO, Harold & Kumar - comedy & Control Room – documentary about Al-Jazeera).

Around dinner time, we were thinking about going out, but then again, the weather was sucks, and we weren’t sure where to go (we brainstormed either Chinese, Japanese, Singaporean, Indian, Vegetarian, but none of them seem appealing to us), then Didi suggested having Hot Pot dinner, and Hot Pot it is. We went out to Ranch 99 to buy some veggie and other things to complete our dinner. We bought veggie sausage, veggie pork intestine, tofu, Chinese broccoli and a hot pot must - spring glory veggie (not sure what the Chinese name of this vegetables).

This is the 3rd Hot Pot dinner we had since I bought the portable gas stove and also the pot last Sunday with Novi. And sure we loooveeeee it!!!

I can't believe it's not meat

The pot has the divider in the middle, so we both can have hot pot without creating a war. Well actually a little bit miscommunication happened before dinner. Didi was in charged for setting up the stove and the pot; he got creative and put Benito stock (fish stock) in both of the soup. Later when I found out, I told him that I don’t want anything in my soup, and he should’ve asked me, don’t just assume. Then I threw away the other half of the soup. He got upset and that made me upset too. But it didn’t last long; we both didn’t want to ruin our dinner.

This dinner just a healthy dinner, loots of veggie, loots of protein. I can’t wait to introduce this dinner to my parents when they are coming to visit me. I’m sure they’ll love it.
