My LOVELY cousins

While searching for my previous photos taken at Gunung Serapi, I found some photos that I should post earlier but I did not.

Anyway, I will do it now.

Last year, I had been travelling to Miri for work purpose twice. I have some relatives there, both papa and mama side. First trip, I met up with my papa side relative. My cousin and his wife came to hotel and brought me to my auntie - cendawan kecil's house. Before leaving, my cendawan kecil told me that she will try to prepare me some dinner before I leave. HEE...so I was like: "oh no no no..no need! I just came for a visit and I am not sure what time I reach hotel after work. Do not get yourself busy, ya?" Smiling and shaking head at the same time! LOL! Not that I do not want to have dinner with her, but but but...paiseh ler! How can my AUNTIE cook for me, right? Anyway, she did call me up the day before I left and telling me to go to her place for dinner. But still I thanked her but did not go to her place.

Then during my second visit, the 2 cousins from mama side (one of them is same age with me and the other one is 2 years younger than us) decided to eat at home instead of going out. So they asked me to join them. So I just joined them, lazy to walk for milesssss to have dinner already. My hotel is just 5 mins away from the place they stayed.

When I reached their place, they had already finished cooking. And OMG! They can really cook! Well, you know me, I am not good at preparing meal. So here, I took photo before we started to eat.

They can prepare steamed fish and prawn. 'x' I think they are so pandai la! Of course, they cooked the easier dishes like bilin and corn soup too. The only thing bought outside is the bbq chicken wing. By the way, look at the plates, the couples used the same plates lo! Booohoohooo, I was so lonely! LOL!!!

According to my cousin #1, shabu shabu is quite popular in Miri. She brought me to try out. At first, I was still thinking: eee, why shabu shabu in Kuching close down one by one and it can survive in Miri? hmm

Then I realised, the shabu shabu in Miri is abit different. They provide 4 different flavours for soup: seaweed (free), tom yam, chicken and oopss forgot the other one already and they charge like RM2 for these soup. We do not have seaweed soup here. They also have more variety in their menu. I cant really remember the menu but basically besides from meat set, seafood set, vegetable set, mixed set, there are side orders like fish ball, meatballs, dumpling, etc.
Each set of the main course will be served with either noodles, rice or tang hun. Oh, I miss the noodles!
And the important factor - everything is fresh. Unlike the one in Kuching, the vegetable and meat they serve here are always like have been put in the fridge for at least 3 days. OH YA! The special self mix sauce! Yeap, fresh food and sauce are the 2 main things in Shabu shabu!

Only have 2 photos of the food! hee...
