Oh I know what luwak is. Pi Chon was saying he could buy 500g of Blue Mountain for the same price ($10) as you paid for a cup of kopi luwak.

$10 for 1lb of Blue Mountain is a great price - I was trying to find out his lobang.

You live in JKT very antarai hor - ceweks there very ganas y'know. You must learn this line: cewek, mau berpicara? :biggrin:
Just check the receipt. Pai seh to say it is cheaper. On my way to apartment now. Good news is you can walk there from your apartmeny. :smile:

Thanks for the timely reminder. Think steamboat quite healthy compared to BBQ and deep fried. I have even more unhealthy version, Big Head fresh water prawns. Prefer BBQ and go specially for the big head. Oyster is also another one but I cannot Gim Chui so just eat.

Inspired by your prawn steamboat, here is my version of prawn soup with pea sprouts, black fungus, red dates, tofu, mushroom. Soup base is miso paste.

Hehehe. This version confirm healthy. Also inspire by your healthy recipes. Still trying to condition my taste buds to go for healthy food. :p

May I suggest using the prawns head to cook the soup. It add a natural sweet taste to the soup although some might disagree because of the chlorestorol. Any item can consider is wolf berries 枸杞.

Ok thanks for suggestion, yeah use prawn head to cook the soup should taste better but high cholesterol..someone told me all the cholesterol in the veins and heads, dont know whether true or not? Yeah wolf berries good, need to go buy some.

Unfortunately, it's true. Ever wonder those slimy stuff in the fishhead, prawn heads taste so nice? Cos' all things that taste nice are unhealthy. :(

Me bad, cannot Gim Chui (stop eating unhealthy stuff). As of now, I am eating salted fish to go with whisky. :*:

Kam sia kam sia. Cannot walk to BigC lah - too far.

Edited:
Every receipt you post seems to have whisky or beer on it :biggrin:
Hehehe. Not too far lah. Not more than 20 mins of slow walk from your place.

Pai Seh, Pai Seh. Forgot to mosaic the whisky part. :p Just some cheap 35% whisky but like it cos' lighter than the regular 40% premium ones.

Like I said I'm on a shoestring budget so this one which is near to my office is one of the cheapest - 65mil Rp a year (S$8,821 per year or S$735 per month).

Good Morning guys. TGIF! Today woke up a little late. Preparing my breakfast now. Kopi, eggs and roti. Going to the bike shop to check how much does it cost to repair the head lamp.

Have a nice day ahead!
