Hubby dear celebrated his birthday on 1st October. We had a week long off here due to Chinese Independence day which worked out good for us as he got to relax and I got time to cook ;). We had decided not to move out of Shanghai as the weather was changing slightly and it is also my first exposure to Shanghai winter. The weather is definitely a pleasure but I dread the cold breeze that will follow soon.Anyways, Coming back to his birthday, we invited very close family friends for dinner. It was a nice time that we spent together. A picture of the Birthday cake that the Birthday boy got as a surprise from our Friends. It was delicious Chocolate cake with Chocolate and cinnanon flavoured cookies from Paris Baguette with "Happy birthday" card in Chinese. It was yummy!!
Here is a picture of the delicious spread that we had:
Gulab Jamun at the top. I used Git's Readymix.Poori - Bhaaji (Top left) Poori missing from the pic :P
Baghara Rice (Top right) : I found this recipe at Cinnamon Trail's blog. It came out very delicious and tasted perfect with Dal fry (Bottom left) and Gobi matar (Bottom right). Thanks Cinnamon for this woderful recipe. It is a keeper for sure.
