A Day for My Mommy

It was Mother's Day yesterday, so being filial children (ahem ahem) my brother, Kwan (his fiance) and I decided to cook dinner yesterday, so with our limited cooking skills, we decided why not a steamboat dinner? It's quite easy, and doesn't require any cooking. To make it more interesting, rather than using the mundane chicken soup, we boiled tom yum soup. The soup was the most challenging, because we had to figure out the concentration, to make sure it's no too diluted or spicy. Thanks to my sister-in-law, who incorporated her Thai knowledge on it (yup, she's Thai! From Chiang Mai), it was a success! We had fun preparing and cutting the ingredients, and I made a fruit jelly and stir-fry vege. Phew, they turned out well and even yummy! Haha.. Cheng Gong! ^^




The flowers we gave to mom :)



Dinner is served! (the "before" scene)


Doesn't it looks like it comes out from a cooking book? (say yes)


My masterpieces :D

Mommy and moi!

The chefs =P

The "after" scene

I felt super full after the dinner. I need to go workout now, in order to fit into the dress I bought for the Masquerade party this Friday! xD Oh yeah, my mom blessed me with the dress!! Hee hee..
