My 1st Pay With Steem Experience

How Can I Ever Forget?

It was 15th March 2018, we ( @veenang @viverridae & I) arrived Kuala Lumpur after a 2.5 hour flight from Kota Kinabalu for work over the weekend. After checking into our respective hotels, the first place we headed to was Big Hug Burger Place as we had earlier planned to meet up with some Steemians from #TeamMalaysia. For @veenang & myself, it was the first time to meet the gang and we were very excited this particular restaurant as it was owned and operated by one of our very own Steemian, @danielwong.

So since we have read so many posts and food reviews about this burger joint, of course we very excited for the meetup (and the food too)!

Paying with Steem

@danielwong who is the proud owner of Big Hug Burger (BHB) started to accept Steem or SBD as a mode of payment at their restaurant, called the Big Hug Initiative @bighugin. He is a fine example and one of the early birds for Malaysian who started to accept Steem and incorporating Steem into his bussiness as a means of business growth. So, of course I was excited about paying with Steem for my meal. Hence, this was offically my first time using the cryptocurrency that I earned from Steemit by blogging. It felt really good, it felt like it was a FREE meal because I didn't have to pay with my Ringgit!

Overall, I'd have to rate my burger meal a 7/10. The burger itself was delicous and beef patty was well marinated coupled with crispy bacon, lettuce, cheese and the "secret sauce", the burger just melts in your mouth. The fries were perfectly cooked and salted and drinks were refillable! How awesome, right!

That's a damn good burger called "The Dancing Cow" filled with yummy goodness

Simply Me

Hi! I'm @gelfire from Borneo, the land below the wind called Sabah, Malaysia. I'm a Property Valuer by profession. I love to travel, like to learn about different cultures, love exploring food and have a passion for home and architecture design.

I joined the Steemit community because it allows me to explore ALL the things that I love and more, ALL in one place! And I get to meet new friends from all walks of life along the way! Steemit also taught me a new way of life, the *"crypto world"* which I am learning day by day, new things. Unlike any other social media platforms, in Steemit we also get rewarded for writing good or creating great content (in our blogs) and or by commenting too.
