April Fools was the day when I fooled my family with my brilliant cooking skills. Alright, I didn't fool them, I really did whip up a korean meal for my siz's sweet 16th. Not self-proclaiming I did a fantastic job, but I do think I deserve a pat on my back, at least no one spitted out anything or suffered from a stomachache. That alone should be regarded as an achievement for a first-timer who learnt the ropes from online recipes, right?
Seafood tofu stew which is my favorite dish personally.
Japchae: sweet potato glass noodles with mixed vegs. I fell in love with this dish when I had it at Bornga.
The crunchiness was there. The marination was also there. But it tasted a little on the bitter side (when it's not supposed to) because I accidentally poured too much honey which turned bitter in excess. This would definitely taste better if I had remembered to buy corn syrup instead of replacing it with honey.
All in all, the dinner was considered a success. I learnt what not to do, what to do.
To my beauty
Swensens ice-cream cake, just what she wants.
Yes, it's Lavigne's 'birthday' too. She joined our family on my siz's birthday, so it's naturally her birthday too.
Look at the hands holding Lavigne, in case she pounced onto the cake.
Peanut-butter cookie and strawberry.
We've watched each other grown over the years and I want nothing but the best for you. Be healthy and genuinely happy (AND confident), beloved beauty.
