I was distracted when sis called to ask to hang out for lunch. So..the easily distracted animal in me..dumped all the ingredients with her maid, left some instructions for her to do the washing and cutting before going off :D
We even strayed to bro's place to play with the kids and wasted more time there. Sis offered to boil the soup base for me using her pressure cooker to save time..only take 10 mins she promised.
But then, the pressure cooker could only take a limited amount of liquid... that's part of the reason why the soup base was lack of taste :P I forgot to check taste too and totally forgotten that I will need some oil since they were no meat or bones used ..what a huge mistake!
Ingredients used for soup were turnips, carrots and some dark green melon with white flesh (don't know name), couldn't find corns :(
Other ingredients by memory:
Pumpkins - these were great, highly recommended!
Different types of mushrooms and leafy greens
Tofu - abit bland
Beancurd sheets - good as always but opt for those thinner and bigger sheets
Tomatoes
Green beans - not recommended for steamboat
Some vegetarian meat from ML
TOTALLY forgot to bring out eggs from car!
And, everyone was too full to have any bihun or noodles of any sort.
Learnings:
Please remember to check taste :P
Need oil and seasoning as standby, some one recommended marmite !
More pumpkins..it really helps a great deal. Very yummy too.
We also had putu mayam...! We stopped a mobile seller by the road side and got 10 from him :P
Thanks everyone for coming, for all your contributions in all forms..love ya all.
As usual, the night ended with a toast.
What's wrong with this pic..do you know?
