Costco 佛跳牆Buddha

 昨天去逛Costco 發現他們有進老協珍的鮑魚佛跳牆。 趕緊買一個回來嚐鮮。一個$69.99美金，我上網看跟台灣老協珍官網賣的價錢差不多。大大的媽媽還問我，確定是這個嗎？因為這價錢可以吃一課高級牛排了。

內容物有鮑魚、海參、杏鮑菇、栗子、香菇、芋頭、干貝、腐竹。照片還滿實際的，鮑魚真的有四顆🤣

裡面有7包冷凍食物，只要拿出來結凍，加進去電鍋加熱就可以。我覺得還可以，最美中不足的沒有排骨酥和鵪鶉蛋和肉，吃起來少了一味，不夠香濃。其他還蠻不錯的，份量夠4個人吃，最好自己再加點肉。這裡面沒有豬肉很可能是因為從台灣輸入豬肉到美國有特別的規定，可能很麻煩，所以乾脆省錢省時間不放肉了。

冷凍食物的包裝內容，看其來很澎湃對不對。但結論是買這一鍋回來，還需要自己再加點料比較美味，我去年有空自己煮了一鍋覺得比這好吃，不過今年工作實在太忙了，可能就不自己動手了。

可以準備用這個在美國過輕鬆過農曆年啦！我婆婆都還蠻驚訝Costco賣這麼多台灣食物，大概有7、8樣吧。昨天我馬上跟朋友分享，朋友馬上衝去買，說已經沒看到了⋯不會這麼熱門吧！這價錢要賣光光有點困難吧，而且離過年還有2個月欸。如果打6折的話，我才會考慮再次購買。

聽說不是每間Costco都有賣，以下是我去的Costco。
