Steamboat Potluck Party 2012

Last night, I went to my friend's house for her annual steamboat potluck party. I had been going to her potluck party every year since 2009. I blogged about it last year and also in 2010 and 2009.

This year, it coincided with the Chinese New Year so we had yee sang as well. Since it's a potluck party, I decided to contribute the yee sang with 2 other friends. We bought it from Sri Siam Restaurant in SS2.



OK, the yee sang did not exactly look appetizing but after we tossed and mixed all the ingredients, it looked yummy and delicious! This is my bowl of yee sang!



Unlike the normal steamboat where you dip the raw meat and vegetables into the boiling pot and take them out with chopsticks or ladles, my friend had ingeniously used skewers instead. This way is more hygienic and easier for us too!



Meat balls all neatly prepared by the host. We just need to dip them into the boiling pot.



More raw stuffs to be put into the steamboat.



There were prawns too but I forgot to take photos of them!

These are cooked meat balls ready to be eaten with some chili sauce.



A friend brought fried squids.



Another brought roast chicken.



The host also prepared for us a big plate of edamame beans - my favorite! I think I ate way too many edamame beans last night!



For desserts, we had konyaku jelly. Yum!



And we also had cakes bought from Australia Cake House in Sea Park, PJ if not mistaken. The chocolate cake was so delicious! (although the photo does not look it!)


I totally enjoyed myself at the potluck party. I will definitely go again next year if I'm invited again!

Important : Due to my post "2012 Feng Shui According To Joey Yap" being delayed, I need to inform those of you who practise feng shui that today, 6th Feb 2012 at 11.30am, it is highly recommended that you activate your NorthEast-1 sector of your home to attract wealth (except if you have rabbit in your Bazi Chart).

Tossing Yee Sang At Pasta Zanmai

A week before Chinese New Year, my family and I went to Pasta Zanmai at Tropicana City Mall for dinner. We did not know they have yee sang, so when we learnt about it, we immediately ordered their Prosperity Yee Sang.



The salmon yee sang, which costs RM23.80, is meant for 2 - 4 people. There were 6 of us, so it was hardly enough but we decided not to order 2 plates as we felt the money was better spent on other dishes.

These were the dishes we ate ....


Pasta with Unagi - my favourite!


Short-neck clam and Japanese Mushroom Cream Sauce Pasta - my mom's favourite!


Hot Pot Seafood Pasta


Crabmeat Tortilla Roll topped with Spicy Mayonnaise


Crabmeat and Avocado Sesame Sauce Pasta


Garlic Rice topped with Roasted Eel and Omelette

We shared all the dishes so I was able to try all of them. They were all delicious! I have been to Pasta Zanmai a few times already, and so far, I have always enjoyed their food. In contrast, I tried its sister restaurant, Sushi Zanmai but found the food there just average! So I really do not understand why there are always longer queues at Sushi Zanmai compared to Pasta Zanmai!

But, really I should not be complaining. The less queues at Pasta Zanmai the better for me! Haha!! So who wants to join me for lunch or dinner at Pasta Zanmai? Smiley
