Back to preparing this meal...since my elder daughter loves cream based western food accompanied with some crunch, I decided to prepare 3 simple and yummy dishes that she will like for her birthday.
Here's the menu:
Crunchy garlic baguette
Cream of Mushroom soup
Ham and prawn Mentaiko angel hair

Crunchy garlic baguette
Ingredients:
Sliced baguette
5 tablespoon Salted butter
2 teaspoon Minced garlic
Optional: 1 teaspoon dry herbs of your choice.

1. Mix salted butter, minced garlic and dry herbs.
2. Spread evenly on each slice of baguette.
3. Bake for 10 minutes at 160 degree Celsius and it's done!

Mushroom soup
Ingredients:
2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 packs pesticide free fresh brown button mushrooms
2 packs pesticide free fresh white button mushrooms
1 liter swansons chicken stock
4 mashed russet potatoes
4 tablespoon Cooking cream
Optional: a dash of truffle oil


1. Remove any dirt on mushroom. As it is pesticide free, there is no need to wash them and unnecessary washing will cause mushrooms to absorb too much water.Slice mushrooms.
2. Heat pot on low. Add olive oil and butter.
3. Add garlic when butter has melted. Sauté until fragrant.
4. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until mushrooms has reduced in size and simmer for 10 minutes.
5. Add stock and mash potatoes.
6. Stir evenly and taste. Add salt if it's bland and water if it's salty.
7. Off the fire. Use hand blender to blend soup to the consistency fancied.
8. Add cooking cream and stir. Taste and add more cooking cream if required.
9. Now it's done! Serve with a dash of truffle oil if you fancy.
