I have always wanted to treat my parents to samgyup but we could never find a weekend that’s not too crowded and ma-traffic. My parents are always wary of going out and as much as possible would rather dine in at home than expose themselves to the horrible Metro Manila traffic, and also people lol. And then I got a portable stove and an outdoor table and the first thing I thought was finally, we can eat samgyup at home!
It was a fine Sunday afternoon when we gathered at my parent’s roofdeck. Jeckie and I brought meat for grilling. And to complete the samgyup kit we also came with some kimchi, minced garlic, and of course a bunch of lettuce!
Setting up the portable stove was very easy. It comes in a cute carrying case and also includes an English manual so you won’t get lost. You may get this Gem portable stove from True Value. Don’t forget to also purchase a butane gas!
Just place the butane gas in place, aligning the notch collar on the index arm. Our butane can is too big so we can’t close the cover but that’s fine! Press down the black lever to lock the cartridge in place. When it’s firmly set turn the ignition knob all the way down to Max, then turn it a bit more till you hear a click. The burner should ignite automatically.
Didn’t think it was so easy to set up your own samgyup at home if you have a portable stove with you!
Get the stove along with this Lifetime table that’s adjustable and extremely portable and you’ve got yourself an easy to setup dining set that you can take with you anywhere you want. It fits just right at the trunk of our car and even the backseat. This portable Lifetime table is also available at True Value. I couldn’t be happier about this table cos it’s so multipurpose and compact, I can use it to work and just stow it away when not needed.
Needless to say we had loads of fun eating together this way. It was a welcome change dining in an indoor-outdoor space under the bright sun in a cool afternoon. It was worth hauling a bunch of things up two flights of stairs haha!
Already excited for our next picnic!
