Ultimate Hot Pot!

Hot Pot!~ You may wonder what about it? Well, a bunch of my friends had came up with the idea of Hot Pot - Pot Luck! How does it work? Well, essentially, it's like a pot luck where everyone bring one thing to the party. So, instead of bringing a cooked dish, everyone would be bringining one or two raw ingredients to the Hot Pot! This is a great social event because Hot Pot requires minimum preparation and it's just really fun for everyone to cook their food right in front of them where we laugh and joke about various topics (for anyone who attended our Hot Pot, Sausage Prezel!!!) So, last saturaday was one of my good friends' 26th birthday, he invited about 15 - 16 people and of course it's our legendary Hot Pot - Pot Luck. It was a hugh success. To give you an idea of what kind of food was there, we had baguette with cheese, bacon and cheese souffle, and pineapple for appetizers. For the Hot Pot, we had 3 pot going at the same time with oyster mushroom, shiitake mushroom, konnyaku, chicken balls, beef balls, fish balls, frozen tofu, cooked shrimps, Hot Pot sliced beef and pork , siu choy, baby bok choy, fresh tiger prawns, giant fresh scallops, udon noodles, taro roots......(there were alot and alot of food!) For dessert, we have 4 cakes, a mango mousse cake, a fruit and walnut cake, a cheese cake with jello on top made by Eric, and a French Vanilla cake made by Adreena. I was so full afterwards that the only thing I could do was sitting down on the couch and not move. But, we are not just about the food, right? Well, we have our in-house live entertainment provided by our "Men-in-Black" jazz band.

Overall, it was a great night. Happy birthday, Andrew! I will be joining your "getting - old" club very soon........(Ohhhhh nooooooooooo)!
