I've been to Big Hug Burger's for a few times now, mainly because the franchise is run by one of our fellow Steemian, @danielwong. What is amazing is that he has announced about a month ago that you can dine in his Burger diner by paying with Steem. YES! You heard that right! Burgers ranging from 1 STEEM - 2 STEEM.
Yesterday, the man himself has invited #teammalaysia to come for a Food Tasting Session for three new burgers and pasta recipes in one of his Big Hug's Outlet.
This even was after the #myjuniors event so I was pretty tired, but I still wanted to try the "mantao(chinese bun)" burger that would be one of the new recipes for Big Hug Burgers.
This is the burger I decided to try it out. It has two burger mantaos with two different flavours. One had the "Salted Egg Sauce" & the other was with "Black Pepper Sauce". I loved the one with the Salted Egg sauce A LOT! It was definitely to die for.
The best part about the whole dining experience was definitely meeting up with the one and only, legendary @howtostartablog. LIKE FINALLY!!!
He is from another state in Malaysia, so this is the first time he is attending a #teammalaysia's event! I was very surprised to meet him at the event because I kinda forgotten that he was coming. When I arrived, @karinzdailygrind immediately asked me to guess who was that guy sitting there. TBH, I blurred out for a moment there because like I said..." I TOTALLY FORGOT HE WAS COMING!"
After given a hint by @elizacheng, I immediately had to take a photo with him. This guy right here has been supporting me from my first day joining Steemit till now! He was one of the few that spoke to me first when I came into Steemit along with @elizacheng. I can remember the early days when #teammalaysia's discord only had a few members, @elizacheng, @howtostartablog and I would be the only ones talking in discord.
And of course, I saw this familiar face through his posts and immediately knew that it was the podcaster, @aaronmcheong and his girlfriend @alexe (think it's pronounced as Alex with the silent 'e'). Both a lovely couple and YES!! I'm sorry I've forgotten what happen to the last part of Descendants Of The Sun(Korean drama). I'm bad at remembering things huh.
Group photo with @elizacheng and the lovely @karinzdailygrind who had to leave early for a farewell party.... :( Well, FAREWELL Karin....Haha
After we finished our burgers, I NEEDED to meet the other lovelies from #teammalaysia which I have been dying to meet too! First up, the lovely @happycrazycon and her adorable son who loves fries.
Apparently got to know that she was also my sister's friend's sister. Small world huh? Who knew Steemit could have been the meeting point for us.
Okay, I look tired and someone said I looked like a patient. That's because my flesh is weak, but my heart is leaping in excitement.
Cheers to @iamjadeline! Finally get to meet her also. From here on out, let me just whack you with some group photos :)
I love gatherings like these. I love talking to genuine people who just love a good conversation. I love getting to know and meet these amazing individuals that I've met through Steemit. There are still a lot more that I hope to meet soon!! I'm pretty sure you know who you are!
I also wish @danielwong all the blessings to continue running his business and I hope he does well. Will be going back to Big Hug Burgers again soon bro :)
Thank You

Awesome! I am hungry again now! Would love to eat the mantou burgers again! Like now! Yummy yummy! This post would make a great entry for the MakeMeSmile Weekly Challenge
Food panda can always fly to you. Haha. But I dunno whether cover your area or not.
Gourmet burger should be eaten right after it is being served... And i shouldn't be eating so much... Virtual eating is the best! I can "eat" as many as I eat and whenever I want... Muahahahaha
Ngahaha, ur always hungry!
Hahaha... Just finished my breakfast...
waseh! :D
Thanks for all the tags! Your blessings and prayers will surely have affect on things. Thanks for always supporting and I’ll improve the black pepper sauce. Haha
Hahahah, wei... the black pepper sauce... :D
I'm glad team Malaysia is going so well! That is really awesome that @danielwong is accepting Steem at his restaurant. I would think it would be to volatile to actually price things with it like that. But I think that it's great!
Yea, when he started accepting STEEM for the first week, STEEM had a dip but surprisingly enough, the sales through STEEM still managed to top his monthly sales. Which made it promising. :)
pretty fun meetup! I'm a fan of @howtostartablog and @happycrazycon posts! (although I haven't been able to comment back on their posts lately) still really cool team you guys have going there. Also Mantao is my favorite!!
If u ever come to Kuala Lumpur! U will get to meet them too! :D
Glad that team malaysia got to meet up! I wanna try out their burgers when I get the chance haha. Then, I can write a food review ;)
Haha, u should join us soon
Haha will do when I get the chance. Currently, very busy taking care of mum
Oh! I sure wish I could just pop over and be there with all of you! It looks like so much fun!
It is! :D There's more to come!

So good to see that Team Malaysia eats well with steem and are such good friends with each other. Steemusa needs to take notes on this.
Ohh? U guys should have more meetups! There are so many Steemians there! Probably not altogether but small meetups in diff areas would be nice!
We just aren't that organized yet, and it will have to be small groups in multiple spots because we are a very spread out country/
Kelana hang out next time? @zord189 hahaha take care in Kuching and have a blast!!
Can! After CNY
Gosh, how I wish I was there! :/
I wish YOU were there! :(
Too bad, so sad. Fed me burgers ok? soft shell crab :D I'll buy you donut in return! hahahah
Deal! I'll treat u to ice cream too k. :D
AMAZING!! Wish there were a restaurant locally here that would do this!
APPLAUDING @danielwong!!
It is indeed a bold step by him to take this first step for Steemit!
@Zord189,You undeniably had so much fun. I now wish those burgers will reach my mouth!lol
Enjoy!
yay!!! Your new account! Haha, I did have fun!!
Yes o. Lol
Haha this is so cool! Burgers for STEEM? I can't wait for something like this to happen in my country as well. Meeting other Steemians sounds like a lot of fun and I would love to do that as well sometime in the future! A lot of positive vibes in this post!
Ohh it is hell of a fun time! I hope you can have your own gatherings in your country as well! Start off with a small one!
sweet meet up
The food looks great, and I'm kinda jealous you get to meet up with other sreemians! 😉
Hehe! The food is delicious and you can join me anytime if you ever drop by Malaysia :D
Looks like you had a blast! & Its always so exciting to see places accepting steem as payments! :)
Looks yummy
