Christmas Eve dinner

Its been a long time, we were very busy to entertain relatives and friends during Christmas season. The first visitor was sister-in-law from Johore Bahru, followed by friends from Medan, KL and my daughter and her husband flew back from Melbourne from 4th to 30th Dec. We have been eating too much from restaurant, we decided to have a change for Christmas reunion dinner.  We had home cook steamboat at home.
It was very easy then, just have to prepare the soup and all the raw materials for cooking when eating.
