Hello, friends especially foodies!
December 23rd was my birthday, i only ate dinner with my uncle and aunty at home that day. But last night i celebrated christmas eve in my best friend's house, whose mother i also call mommy.
This year, we had shabu-shabu dinner at home to celebrate Christmas eve. Family members came, mommy's oldest son and his wife plus their children.
To prepare the broth was quite easy it needed chopped garlic and sesame oil, stirred. Then put it on chicken broth soup, after that put on some salt, a bit MSG and a bit sugar. Waited until it well boiled then finished
The ingredients we had for shabu shabu also many. You could see we prepared cut veggies, enoki mushroom, many kind of balls like beef, fish, lobster. We also had fishcake, chikuwa, crab stick, and so on. Of course we also had beef slices and you could see it well, pork dumplings.
You could see the shabu shabu soup that we had. It contained lots of ingredients and tasty in light savory flavour. We put on soy sauce with cut chilli to our soup so it would be more savory and also a bit spicy.
And after the dinner we also celebrated my birthday with cake, mommy made me the birthday cake on my birthday december 23rd and her fridge was full so the cake was a bit messy (so unfortunately). But i still love it anyway it had medium sweetness with soft texture of blackforest, my favorite cake, yummy!
Anyway merry christmas, friends!
