VERDICT
WILL: There is no reason for now to get bored on home cooked meals, well, specially when your husband is doing it for you! Haha! 

Do you know that Yangzhou Rice is pretty expensive to get from a decent restaurant? So, the solution is, ask Abbey to cook it and he now solved the overflowing supply of bak kwa. Ha! Ha! 

He nailed it! Our red rice has a firm texture, the bakkwa give the sweet flavour together with peas, carrots and corn. Well done Abbey. 

Thank you for cooking fantastic food all the time! Yum!

KPub BBQ TriNoma

ABBEY: Wilma and I dined separately in KPub restaurant. We went with our own families :) But definitely not at the same time. 

For 899 Php you can eat all items in the menu for 6 hours. I’m telling you that would be more than enough. The Korean side dishes alone can make you full. They have marinated beef, chicken, pork bellies, and fish and soup; all in free flow. No worries in cooking as they will assist you to it. No burnt meat. You can wrap it in lettuce or eat it with kimchi or plain rice. 

I indulged in bulgogi and sukiyaki beef as well as pork belly. They were thinly sliced so easy to cook and chew. We also got ice cream at the end. Kudos to the staff for the birthday greetings for Jana.

WILL: Because I ate a buffet at KPub and I somewhat indulged on it, I suggested it to Abbey for him and his family to experience the same. 

So what’s the difference from other Korean BBQ? First of all, it has a band to entertain and secondly you do not need to stand to take the ingredients. Just raise your hand and the servers will always be there to attend to your needs. Naks! 

My favourite is the marinated beef short rib. Even it is marinated the milky flavour of the beef is still there. Korean style bacon is a must eat too. Do not fill up your tummy with rice. Fill your tummy with meat! Hehe! Something to enjoy too is the Melona Ice-cream. 

If you do not know where to celebrate the blessings in life, do not waste your time queuing for the same old buffet. Go and try K-Pub at TriNoma 3rd floor.

Fried Vietnamese Spring Roll

Ingredients:
Shrimp (cooked and cut in half lengthwise)
Romaine lettuce
Mung bean sprouts
Black fungus (chopped)
Carrots (julienned)
Cilantro
Rice paper

Dip:
Fish sauce
Lime
Chilli
Sugar

This is an easy recipe.
Wet a rice paper in to warm water.
You can arrange the sprouts, black fungus, carrots into the lettuce for easy wrapping.
Put the shrimp and cilantro on the end side of the wrapper for better presentation as it will be seen on the top layer.
Fry the spring rolls, then double fry. That is the key for crunchiness.

For the dip, mix all ingredients according to your preference. Serve and enjoy.

VERDICT
WILL: Never taught that Rice Paper can be fried! Thanks to YouTube. Vietnamese Spring Roll is quite a tedious job, so leave it to the expert..Abbey haha. 

He double fried it and what will you expect? Crunchy! Crunchy! Everything inside is fulfilling but the one who shines is the taste of cilantro leaves and gooey texture of black fungus mushroom. Fish sauce, sugar and lime dip intensified the umami taste! Yummm!
