Shabu-Shabu

When the weatherman says its gonna be cold and raining, the only option other than a wet barbecue is a "Hotpot". Thaw some fishballs, prawn/shrimp, crab meat, and thick white rice noodles. Slice some fresh tuna, tenderloins (pork and beef), a few tofu and mushrooms. Prepare

the veggies : spinach and watercrest leaves are best ( my choice).

Stew is from beef bones done with a pressure cooker for speed. Season the soup in a pot over a simmering stove (I bought mine from TNT @Central City for 17 dollars - a bargain ha). Start dropping in the meats (pork, beef, tuna), the mushrooms and tofu, let it boil once and add the veggies. Its best to drop in just enough ingredients for one serving each person and take out what ever ingredient is left in the pot to avoid overcooked food mixing with the next batch of serving.

Puto (rice cakes, from New Town Bakery over near Surrey Central Station) is a good dessert.
