Time for BBQ

Have you all been doing your own BBQ at home before? How it would be? Will it be messy or troublesome? To be honest, it is actually quite tiring too...haha..Below is my experiences. I was invited to CS 's home BBQ last weekend. Eventhough some of those things is not prepare by me but i can feel their "hard-work"...haha...

Step 1 - Tools for BBQ
Prepare 1 or 2 of BBQ grilled set if you are inviting a large group of friends. I heard my friend told me nowadays we dont have to "susah" to start up the fire. All we need is a special charcoal and a lighter. Nowadays, many people will be using the special charcoal in BBQ. It is safe and easy to use. Sorry that im not sure the name of the charcoal....

Firstly we will put the charcoal into the BBQ set and then light the fire. The charcoal will slightly burn like the firecrackers and it will slowly burn by itself. Try use a hand-fan to swing some air to make the charcoal burn faster and waited the fire enough big and the BBQ can start anytime...lol..

You may opt something like this (bought for around RM100++). It is nice and wide enough to BBQ large items such as chicken , fish or pork..

This smaller BBQ set very good and convinient especially for those children which love to BBQ their own and but make sure safety comes first...and remind those kids to be extra careful as the BBQ set is quite hot too...Never use our hand to touch on a hot grilled BBQ .

Besides this ,we need to have one or 2 tables to put all the stuffs like foods, plastic plates & spoons , wooden chopsticks, tissue papers, butter, bottle of honey or maybe desserts or drinks..And not to say, please prepare a large plastic bag at a corner to people to trash rubbish to avoid your house getting dirty and unhygiene due to the rubbish.

Step 2 -Preparation for foods & drinks
My friend told me that he will go for a his own BBQ style. We did not use those BBQ stainless steel stick but instead we use those wooden stick for steamboat. haha...low cost. Hey hey.....this i got contributed some..I stick all the mini sausages and fish balls..haha...nice le..In here, i think got more than 100 sticks. It truly scary when i saw it...I scare we cant finish it all..I suggest to my friend, if really we cant finish it or suddenly feel tired BBQ-ing...we just took out a pot and juz throw all the food into and make a "one pot steamboat"...haha....they all laugh...good ideas le!!

Mini sausages & fish ball in wooden sticks...

And not to say....super yummy bacon meat le..we love this so much and it finish fast...

My friend has asked his mum to marianted some chicken breast and pork meat. And even they use the aluminium foil to wrap the marianted fish to be grilled in the BBQ set. To be more safe, the fish is actually has been cooked a while before wrap into the aluminium foil. haha...All this can be prepared one day before.
He also had called for 50packs of nasi lemak for us just in case we are not full enough...or worry suddenly we feel hungry before the BBQ fire is set. haha..The nasi lemak is nice and yummy...I ate almost 2 packs.
As for dessert, he had prepared some watermelon which i think is very good. As you know, BBQ is quite a "heaty" stuff...so having watermelon can cool our body down and the watermelon is very juicy too..

And the last and not to forget..the drinks...guess what we are having that day?? We are having plain water...haha....do you all believe it?? I guess no one believe me le..haha....Actually mostly they have beers , soft drinks (little bit only)....and not to forget is the liqour..haha...Scary too le..That time im not so well, so im "exempted" for it.Whole day, im jus having plain water..haha...

Step 3 - All set to go BBQ-ing ....lol
We just put whatever we like to have into the BBQ grill and wait for it to be ready. You may put some butter / honey on the grilled sausages / bacon to add more flavour to it. Please make sure all foods you grilled is cooked and safe to eat..haha..
im waiting my fishball to be cooked...lol

This is our "BBQ chef of the day"...he got potential to be a BBQ chicken master at the pasar malam..haha...joking onli, man!! ...anyway, he request in future, if there is a BBQ party, please do have fan beside it..it is quite hot and smelly there...Without no choice, the end, im his "manual fan" lol....haha..

It look like i have summarize a very tiring BBQ into 3 easy steps..haha..dont think it is easy as 1-2-3....there still need the help from other friends then only it can be successfully done. If you think to have a nice home BBQ, please make sure you are prepared for it...lol...

Anyway, we all back home in a full tummy, smelly and tired body....And not to say, we enjoy ourselves too...Thanks for the nice day, CS.....
