Had our first "Lou Sang" last saturday. Organised by the Buddhist temple nearby who invited residents around our area for the Vagetarian Steamboat dinner and Lou Sang.
First time having vegetarian steamboat and Lou Sang.
Put in all the goodies.
Ready...steady....huat ah!!!!
Heheheh....this is the only time when I made a mess nobody will scold.
While waiting for the steamboat to fully boiled, we were served these fried Tau Pok and Wantan. Hmmm...dunno what they put into the wantan but tasted very nice la. One is not enough.
All the goodies in the pot liao. Not only vegetables leh but have mushroom balls and stuffs like that.
The soup base was super sweet. According to the lady, they used red sugar cane to make the soup. It was boiled from morning to night time and they added two pieces of ginseng root. No wonder so sweet la. Hmm....she said next time must try and make this soup.
Hmm...while they eating, I went and play la.
Very "yit lau"(merry) leh. There were a singing Chinese New Year song session and the temple people giving out angpau and mandarin oranges.
Thank you...thank you....
Last but not least....noodles.....muhahaha....noodles for me....yum...
They said every month there will be gathering for talks about Buddhism and everyone are welcomed to join.
a very colorful plate in the first.
ReplyDeleteIt's called Yee Sang. A dish that is usually eaten together during chinese New year

ReplyDeleteYea they invited for lou sang. Now so many place have lou sang already. This year seems to be earlier than usual
DeleteI do not know what Lou sang is. So at first I thought you were really eating on a real steamboat!! looks like so much fun anyway though.
ReplyDeleteIt catual name is Yee Sang. A dish that is usually eaten during Chinese New Year. When we toss the ingredient, it's call lou sang. Toss higher the better. meaning more prosperous
DeleteAaah, I love this type of food. You're making me hungry. Have a lovely Wednesday.

Hi Betsy
DeleteThanks for dropping by. Hope no more snow storm over there and spring comes soon
Hmm super-sweet as in sugar-sweet isn't too good as soup hor?
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm always impressed how creative people are with vegetarian food.
not sugar sweet. More like sugarcane sweet. Seems that a member planted special type of red sugar cane that is very sweet, They used that sugar cane as suop base
DeleteI love the fried Wan Tans. But everything looks good here.
ReplyDeleteFood was surprisingly good
DeleteWhat's inside the wantan?? Just vege ya??
ReplyDeletenot vege. Flour with something
