Steamboat for 2

So it's a weekend, no where in particular to go. What can a couple do... the duo here at eatfatfat decides to enjoy the weekend lazing around and have a little steamboat dinner.

Considering we had a great dinner at Cartel the night earlier ( a huge slab of ribs and pork chops), we wouldn't have gotten up early on a sunday morning for anything except for food. Breakfast at Coffee Bean to be exact. Forgo Graze for Coffee Bean cause the lady wants to hit back to bed after breakfast.

After another round of bagel with cream cheese we head straight for the supermarket to shop for the steamboat dinner. We love shopping and spending time together thinking of funy and weird stuff to cook and eat.

To cut everything short, i forgot abt the rice and we nearly ended up with no rice to go with the steamboat. Thank god for the trusty electric rice cooker, the ebarrassment was quickly forgotten in 20 minutes. Trust me to let such a thing from happening. Nevertheless dinner was simple and wholesome but the company was fantastic.

They say a picture speak a thousand words. I wonder if you feel the same way too ;)

  2. just an honest feedback..

    i think you should edit and make ur photos sharper and clearer as a good food blog should have photos that we can see the texture, true colours and 'feel' of the food.

    a food blog is unattractive if the photos are poorly taken and didn't show the real feel of food.
