Loyal readers of my blog would have realized that I seldom, if ever at all, blog about steamboats.

Well, I’m just not a fan of soup-based meals.
And steamboats are to me, a messy and ardous affair. I’m not one of those who enjoys the “cook as you eat” or “cook-your-own” meal ala Pepper Lunch sort.
If I’m out for a meal, please serve me my order piping hot and all ready for me to tuck in, thank you very much. Besides, I’m an impatient person so I always ended up eating half-cooked fishballs during steamboats as I dug them out before they are thoroughly cooked. :p

Also, steamboat meals are of prolonged periods since it’s not possible to just chow down your one-portion dish and leave immediately after. Portion controls are difficult too as the trend for steamboat meals now are eat-all-you-can buffets or sets meals for a minimum of 2 pax.

Having said that, a steamboat meal is best savoured with a group of friends, gossiping over the bubbling pot and sipping the soup after an hour or so of cooking. The soup is much tastier and richer after having all the ingredients thrown in for the last hour.

Broga Hill – The hike & the Food!

Broga Hill.

The whole trip was supposed to be about the hike up the hill, and the sunrise of course.

Well, for me Broga was more about the FOOD. And having heard so much about the “ikan bakar” after my last makan outing (Beggars Chicken in Ijok), I was just itching for any reason to go Broga. But before I can get my grubby hands on the fish, I had to actually hike up Broga Hill.. so here I am…

The sun rises really late these days. We only saw the first break of sun rays at 730am.
