My cousin Na celebrated her 24th birthday at home. It's always nice to be together with my family.
For dinner we had "Bo va Tom Nhung Dam" (Vietnamese Beef and Shrimp Fondue with Special Vinegar Broth). It is one of my favourite dishes...no, it's my top favourite vietnamese dish! It is light, but very delicate, a real taste explosion. On top of this: it's healthy, too! You cook the beef and shrimp lightly in this fragrant special broth, put them on a wet rice paper and wrap them together with lettuce, cucumbers and herbs (spearmint, thai basil, cilandro) into a summer roll. It can be served with different dips. I forgot to take a pic of the summerrolls...
...so take a look at these (vegetarian?) summerrolls by photogourmond (flicker).
I made this cake for her.
The color of my cake matches the flowers, you see?
But it's only a coincidence ;)
It's also the birthday of her mother! How cute they're looking together.
I didn't have much time, so I decided to make a less complicated cake which still had to look nice.
My aunt is looking radiant, as fresh as a daisy. Can you believe she is 49 years old?
Na's family.
Vivi and Leon.
All the best to both of you!
