This time we invited 2 friends, both are chef. My dh is not a fan of heavy marinated bbq meat and he doesn't like to include : chicken wings, sausages, corn, fish . He prefer to stay on the simple and basic seasoning : garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. He wants to taste the natural taste of the meat instead of covering it with heavy gravy.
Me? I can eat both Asian mix American bbw style ( but not with the heavy bbq sauce specially with honey glazed or something sweet). For Asian style I love to eat bbq fish with lemongrass, chilli and galangang wrapped in banana leaves or tumeric ( kunyit leaves) .
This time we stick to our signature BBQ menu
Pork ribs marinated with lemon, garlic, extra virgin olive oil , salt pepper.
Quails marinated in the same ingredients
Rib eye steak
Roasted Potatoes
Salad.
Actually the quails was not in the menu, but since we went to Gaya street market ( where we met Deana and Faye btw! We always bump into each other latetly hahaha! Maya told me : Mamma, baby sona again!) We saw the one lady sells the quails, and we thought that will be great to do BBQ with. Indy and Maya were grossed out when they saw skinless small birds. Any Maya said : baby chicken!!
Helen ( our maid) started the fire. Yup that is our BBQ pit! The simplest, cheapest one, Not the elaborate electric one :)
Really looks like the " tukang satay" one right? LOL
Washing Potatoes and Salad ( he kicked me out from the kitchen after that , he said instead of taking photos why don't you make some cocktails? grrr)
Simpe Garden Salad ( seasoned with Balsamic Vinegar and Olive oil)
Roasted Potatoes
Very yummy dip...freshly chopped garlic, chili , salt in extra virgin olive oil
The poor Quails
Ribs
Rib eyes ( sorry photo cant be turn...dont know why)
We ate this medium rare. yumm. Indy and Maya loves it to
sizzle sizzle sizzle......
Posing up before eating.
Before that when we are waiting and had our aperitif drinks. My dh had this "brilliant" idea to open up our old tent. He said Indy's tent in the playroom is too small for her to play with.Really looks like the " tukang satay" one right? LOL

Posing up before eating.While we were waiting for the BBQ pit to heat up and wait for one more friend to come, the girls had a good time playing outside.Indy with Maya's bike , and Maya with her "car" .
Favorite way to play, down the slope and bang to the gate!
I wonder how come the " car" is still in good condition! This is her 2007 Xmas present from her makcik.
With broken umbrella back ground!
Waiting for the meat to be cooked.
My fave: eggplant BBQ with garlic, chili and olive oil dip

I said it was ok....just for playing house and having pretend guest. But he said we should open the big tent.
I didn't know why I SAID OK!!! grrrr.....after it was opened.....it took the whole room! It was HUGE inside the room! The tent is made to fit 3 adults ! We used to put this tent on summer time in our Guangzhou house next to our inflatable pool in our terrace.
Anyway , this time we opened the tent indoor and it just too big for the room! I REGRET to agree with that. But Indy and Maya are so happy about that, so I guess no choice for me, I just need to stuck with the big tent in the room for now! BIG SIGH!
Here are the photos
Showing off her new " home" . She likes to spend time in her tent. It is her" sacred" place, she put her favorite toys inside there.
SEE HOW BIG IT IS!!!!
Comparing the old tent and the new one
Her Favorite friends : pony, turtle , fish, doggy, she even has her book rack, clock,small kitchen inside the tent
Other corner is: seating corner with the picnic and tea set, and sleeping corner . Here Maya did her sleeping pose
In her sitting corner.
Claiming her own space in the jie jie's tent.Now I am trying to persuade Maya to occupied the small tent instead of disturbing her jie jie's tent. It is a mission imposible I guess. Indy wants them to become " neighbour" but Maya instisted to LIVE IN with her. Chaos!!!
Have a great week a head!
