Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year Everyone!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to all!! Hope you enjoy your Christmas together with your love one's and family. To me its the loneliest christmas I ever felt in my entire life because my husband is not here to celebrate with me. But still happy in a way that my family is here, we had a party last x'mas day. I'm happy because they liked what I prepared for them. I made a macaroni salad, springroll, chicken with black bean sauce, etc., and one of my favorite thing to do, a butter cake with mango toppings and strawberry cream. I'm gonna share to you the desserts that I made.




If anyone wants my recipe, feel free to drop me a message here, I would love to share it with you.
