My Hubby's B'day Blast with Candle Light Dinner

26th of March, Yesterday was my Hubby's bday celebrated with Candle Light dinner. Usually, I have invite all of our friends on his b'day, but this time we decided this month candle light dinner on this day. Every month for Candle light dinner , the recipes and cuisines will change. This month on my Hubby's B'day, i decided to make a menu depends on his favourite recipes. He has fond of Chinese, Malay and non-spicy foods, then i made a list of 5 recipe names in each criteria for 4 course meals. Finally, he selected Thai food recipes.

  Thai food recipes takes only few minutes to cook only thing is cutting takes little bit time that too not hard, i finished quick, quick. For me cooking vegeterian food takes time it's a big hazard ,but for non-veg woooow!!!!! finish earlier than veggies and easily. Since after our marriage i order his B'day cake to cut. But, this time baked his B'day cake myself and done Marshmallow fondant.It came out right, but not that much perfect like our pastry shop cakes finishing.Anyway, My Hubby was very happy on his B'day cake baked with full of my love.

Before he comes from work, i finished all my cooking and set the table for candle light dinner with recipes in serving bowls.We usually start the dinner at 7 pm on candle light dinner day, but on yesterday it was very dark early at 6 pm cos of winter is coming. In summer, till 8 pm the brightness will be here like daytime. We enjoyed  my Hubby's B'day with Candle light dinner.

The Menu for my hubby's b'day and for our Candle light dinner as follows,

1.Veggie Spring roll
2.Manchow Soup
3.Chicken Satay with Spicy Peanut Butter Sauce
4.Thai Red Curry with Rice
5.Pad Thai Chicken Noodles
6.Schezwan Fried Rice
7.Shop Bought Ice Cream and B'day cake with cream for Dessert

This time was less recipe menu than before, but all recipes are my Hubby's favourite. My Hubby enjoyed all the foods and he also gave the rank to the recipes, the first rank goes to Schezwan fried rice.We enjoyed together his B'day and Candle light dinner with lots of fun.
