: : My House : :

No, it’s not literally My House lah. My House is given to the name of a steamboat and BBQ restaurant along Pending Road. I went there at the request of a friend. Had to put this makan session off a few times because of other appointments. So, finally managed to gather a group of makan kakis @ eating pals last Saturday to go and mum-mum!

The place had a very nice ambience to it and it is an open-air restaurant. However, the night was pretty cool and there was a nice breeze blowing. This is a place whereby one can select the ingredients from the buffet spread for the steamboat. If your table numbers 6 people or more, you can ask for two steamboats with different soup stock.

Me, Min Yen, May Lin and Marvin got there late so Jackson and Christina already started boiling the steamboat for us! By the time we reached the place, the soup was ready to eat so we started digging in right away.

Tomyam steamboat : definintely delicious and spicy. With all the various ingredients that we dumped into it, the soup itself was very tasty and had such a variety of flavours to it that it was kind of hard to decide which food was the flavour coming from. We added in a lot of fishballs, black fungus, mushrooms, fish, chicken, tauhu @ soya bean, prawns and other stuff to it.

Since there were 6 of us, we got another steamboat with chicken stock in it. Again, we dumped everything in and again the flavours just burst on our tongues! Wah! A tip to eating steamboat : make sure that after putting in the ingredients, cover the steamboat and wait for it to boil. Once the steam rises from the lid, remove the cover and dig in.

We also added in some Chinese lettuce and tang hoon @ glass noodles to it.

Other than the steamboat, we also had some BBQ side dishes like this great chicken wings. The marinade was great and it was really really tasty. Better than the KFC and Pizzahut Wings any day.

We also had some kebabs as well. It was either chicken or beef so we had both. Both are delicious either way and I can tell you, we had a lot that nite.

We also took some spicy crab to eat as well but I was just plain lazy to dig out the meat and eat it. The others enjoyed it though and they had 2nds and 3rds!

It was a filling eat all you want for RM15 and I found out today that for free flow of soft drinks, it’s RM18 per head! Darn! Oh well, never mind. The next time lor.

My House is located in the Pending area although not in the middle of the industrial estates. It is before the estate but after the Kuching By Pass at Simpang Tiga Roundabout-cum-Flyover.

Would definitely go there again. Cheaper than Garden Steamboat by 50% so that’s enough incentive to go! So GO PEOPLE! If you’re in town, that is. 🙂

Now, onto the sweet stuff! A lot of varieties on show at the buffet counter : from the Western cakes and pastry to the local kuih muih @ cakes @ delicacies and fresh juicy fruits. The chocolate cake was just nice : not too sweet and not too rich. Yum!

A bit lazy to type everything as I’m still going a bit ga-ga over my new pets! Haven’t name the hamsters yet.

Another pet project. Scenery of Kuching. We’ll see how long this one will last. 🙂

I have never seen so many red dishes at a lunch buffet before. The pictures below were taken on Thursday noon time. Everything was red to denote that it’s spicy. Do not be fooled into thinking that a red coloured dish in Asia is made with tomato sauce. Although the base of any chilli sauce is still tomato, the red sauces are usually very spicy. Check the name tags at the bottom of the buffet dish before digging in!

Ayam panggang @ grilled chicken. I think what they did was grill the chicken first and then later added on the sauce. The sauce is most likely made from chilli sauce with some added spices to make it taste spicy.

Assam fish : a sour curry dish that is very popular. The usual dish is normally cooked with a BIIIIIIIIIGGGGGG fish head but can also be cooked with the whole fish. One of my favourites. Problem with fish dishes in buffet containers is that it’s very seldom a neat presentation. Still, it tasted real good.

Telur pedas @ spicy egg : a local favourite for many. The egg is hard boiled first and then later coated lightly with batter and deep fried. The spicy sauce made from chilli sauce and some green peas, carrots, corn and long beans were poured over the egg. Simple to do and very delicious.

Terung & long beans : Brinjal that is stir-fried with long beans. Personally, I do not like brinjal because it’s very soft. My collegues did and dug into this buffet dish eagerly. And yep, the red sauce is in abundance today!

Another red dish! Tauhu @ soya bean cubes deep fried first and later cooked with other vegetables. In this picture, they added in shredded mushrooms and loads of leek.

Beef rendang : a type of curry cooked without kunyit @ tumeric for the yellow coloring. It’s a dry type of curry but taste very delicious. It’s not easy to made as the beef has to be cooked for some time to soften it up. It has coconut inside it which makes it taste better. Not exactly red, I know but not the dark brown color that I’m familiar with.

Stir-fried kailan @ Chinese mustard in oyster sauce. So, two dishes that were not red. Phew! Anyway, I did not eat everything as there were just too much to eat. Ended up eating the salads and dessert more!

Cheerio!
