Candle Light Dinner

On September 8 was my hubby's birthday. I decided to celebrated at home by cooking some of his favourite dishes. Viet food recipes takes only few minutes to cook and I even had extra time to baked him a chocolate cake.  Before he comes home from work, I finished all my cooking and set the table for candle light dinner.  The table setting was pretty simple, I grabbed all the empty jars that I can find in the house and filled with tea light candles.  It turned out quite gorgeous.  Hubby's really enjoyed his birthday dinner!

The Menu
Vietnamese Shaking Beef( Bo Luc Lac)
Tomato fried rice
Chocolate Cake


Make a nice dinner, light a few candles and throw on your favorite play list. You're bound to enjoy it!
Thanks for visiting and have a great week ahead. Pin It

happy hubby I am sure. Like everyone else would love your recipes for the beef/rice/cake (salad looks oh so good too). I love your plates! May I ask where you purchased them and the chop sticks with the "resting" block too ;0)
