Tong Yang was not the plan. We weren't supposed to be there, but somehow the craving just hit and we said yes anyway 😅. And honestly? Best decision of the day.

The Hotpot Was Calling

We got seated and the hotpot was the first thing we went for. That bubbling pot between us — hot, steamy, and so worth it 🥹✨.

The table was full and we were happy — grilled meat, shabu shabu, and so many options to choose from. This is exactly what we wanted ✨.

Grill Mode On 🔥

Hubby fired up the grill and got to work 🥹❀️. I loved that part.

And then there was the sushi 💗. It's always good, but it just hits different when you're in the mood for it. Love sushi!

Then it was my turn to take over the grill 😄🔥. Hubby went to get more food from the buffet area, so I handled the meat — and honestly, I was happy to do it! My grill, my rules 😂✨.

And Then There Was Dessert 🍦

We ended it with avocado ice cream. Simple, but it was a good way to close out the meal.

Honestly, the best food trips are sometimes the unplanned ones 🌸.

Tong Yang, you did not disappoint!
