A date with Sugar Bean

I have promised to stay away from pc.
I have promised myself not to blog for a week.
I have promised myself not even to hook on blogs just for a week.
But then again, my determination is not strong enough and I have broken my promises.


Here. me again. Blogging...


I was in stress because of the mid terms. One week 3 papers... this last for 3 weeks. Just can’t imagine when it comes to the final paper. Thanks god that the Sugar Bean dragged me out for a lunch last Saturday.


A date with Sugar Bean was a fantastic one. Honestly, I don’t mind to be their ‘light bulb’ (hope they don’t mind too! ;P) They are sweet, they are fun and they are funny couple to hang out with! Since I craved for steamboat after reading their post; they just said, okay, I will bring you to out for a nice steamboat meal.





That’s it, after my paper on last Saturday; I had a date with Sugar Bean in this Inner Mongolia Restaurant 内蒙古酒家. Little did I know that they are having buffet lunch promotion at just Rm 22.90. Where else the buffet dinner is at Rm 29.90 per pax.





Yes, another all-you-can-eat concept. I was going to eat as much as I can. That is my other way to de-stress.





There are a lot from the menu list you could choose from. Condition is that you have to finish up what you have ordered. Else, you will be charged. I guess most of the restaurant‘d implement this rule right?





The Tempting sesame sauce 芝麻酱 with fu yu 腐乳to go along with your food. Their hot and sourish chilli sauce (not in the pic) may also boost up the tanginess of your food after sopping them in the sesame sauce and the chilli sauce. But then, I can’t find the taste of sesame sauce that similar to the one I have tried out in Shen Zhen, China.





蒙古拉皮 which is listed on the cold dish in the menu. This was really an appetizing yet appealing cold dish. This is one of their signature dishes in this restaurant






The ‘yuan yang guo’ 鸳鸯锅 came with the spicy and herbal soup base. The spicy soup is actually the herbal soup but it is added in with chili oil, dried chilli and extra spices to give the really numbing and spicy taste.








We had countless plates of thinned lamb slices 羊肉片 which was really good to go on with the spicy soup.





Also the thinned deer slices 鹿肉片 (priced at Rm 18 per plate if ordered alone) was another good choice for the steamboat. But I prefer the lamb slices than this.





Frozen tofu 冻豆腐 was much better to be in spicy soup




While Fresh tofu 鲜豆腐 was great in the herbal soup





Fresh veggie 娃娃菜






And also veggie 生菜





A must not missed out item, Enoki mushroom 金针菇! We had a few plates of this too!





Mushroom 香菇



And Seaweed 紫菜 to sweeten the herbal soup.


Burppp~ Full! We almost finished up sweeten and essence-ful herbal soup. It was a pleasant steamboat experience with Sugar Bean!




Oppsss, we ate till they were having their rest time. Lights off and not a single waiter/waitress were there!

~Christine~Leng said...

I had my eyes on the sesame sauce! :) yummy..

ai wei said...

squall,
赞同,鸳鸯锅与羊肉片的确是绝配!当然,要是在下雨天享用可是更棒!



joe,
dislike spicy stuff?! but they are great!

all the best in ur coming paper. my fren is having one paper in may too! (same company as urs, if not mistaken)


ling239,
chilli oil can definately increase the spiciness and it warm the soup faster on heating. just ignore the chilli oil while u are having it. they are really good! but there was a slight burning in my stomach the very first try out and soon, i m addicted!


nic (khkl),
urs in a month time???
all the best and good luck.
sigh... my final last for 3 weeks... almost a month. that's is killing!!!

and yep, we had the place all by ourselves.

ai wei said...

durianberry,
yayaya, hot n spicy food can always wake ones up! and our receptors (smell/taste) are really sensitive to it. slurp~

good luck in ur exam!


mimi,
tried it before? how'd you feel bout it??? wow, seems that u have tried out really lots of places!


christine,
kekeke, mayb we can look out for others n try?! i still find this sesame sauce not the one i really like. rmb the pasta zanmai's spagetti?! that's the taste i always want!

Sugar Bean said...
