Mandy's attempts at cooking: CNY Steamboat

Found some old photos. Then realise, its time to update some backdated stuffs.

Having steamboat together during CNY has become a tradition for me and my grp of friends. Now that we are working, it was so hard to fix a date for us to get down and pigged out together. It made me kinda miss those days when we were still schooling where we can jus arrange a date to sit down and jus pig out simply because we have nothing else to do. :)

This year, all preparations was done kindly by mellie and sherrie as the rest of us are kinda busy. Thanks so much gals! As usual, it was a super wide spread!!

We have:

Fishballs, Sausages, Fish Dumplings, Meat and Mushroom balls (from dear's factory) and Crapsticks.
Veggies.. More than 4 types! (I cant name veggies)
Beef
Prawns (loads)
Pork
Chicken
Eggs
Sliced Fish
Squids & sotongs
Those abalone clams (thanz mellie!)
Tang hoon!
Golden mushrooms!! (alot! keke)

We had 2 soup bases. 1 tom yum and 1 chicken. The tom yum 1 sux that nite though.

It was loads of food for like 7 people. Aurey and Ju could not make it due to other commitments. But cheryl was back in singapore and was kind enuff to join us for the steamboat! It was good to see her back! She is getting prettier each time we see her!

There were also wine sponsered by Sherrie and Cristalle. Sipping wine and surrounded with good food! Wat a good life!

There were really too much food. We ate till we were stuffed and refuse to move and so we jus remain seated at where we were and played some card games. I forgot what is the game called (the 1 u stick a card on yr forehead and keep pouring the wine glass to sabo the person who has the card with the lowest value). We were so sticky after the steamboat, the card sticks to our forehead easily without much effort. haha! pretty grossed.

I kept losing towards the end of the game. Had difficulties finishing my wine. Wat a torture. keke!
