BBQ Fun!

One of my dreams finally came true - we finally had a barbecue at our home and what's even better was it was my favorite Hong Kong style barbecue, with a barbecue pit, long roasting sticks and wood fire (we used charcoal to make fire in Hong Kong). I was SO excited!!!

Hubby was excited too! If you notice, he is wearing a different minion t-shirt. We had barbecue two times in the same week and he was so cute to want to wear his two new minion shirts we had bought in the mall the other day. I "warned" him one of it reminded me of a sleeping tee and if he still wanted it. He said, "I like that even better!" haha :D

We have always wondered if we are one of the very few couples who would enjoy a 2 people barbecue. Why not? It is sweet and romantic and less noisy and you can eat EVERYTHING! In Hong Kong, we would have barbecue just him and I too but we had to go to a specific area to do so. Usually families buy seasoned meat (some people would season their own meat for a cheaper cost, like my mom) and other snacks and take them to a public barbecue pit (usually located nearby beaches or country parks). Another option is to go to a privately owned barbecue site where you get all supplies in one place. We used to do that! Especially for spontaneous couples like us sometimes I was suddenly in the mood of barbecuing. No preparation would be needed! The only thing is, no matter how big our appetite can be we would always go home super super stuffed because we would try to eat everything that came with the package (we would buy the smallest package that could feed three people). Some people have commented how much we can eat. Actually, we both hate to waste food. Doing it at home this time was great. We didn't have to make our tummy suffer!

I hope you are not hungry because I am gonna share some of our favorite barbecued food :)
