Beside lot of calories that can come with those crispy puff pastry, this dish is quite health as there are good ingredients like salmon (high protein, high omega-3 fatty acids, and high vitamin D content), spinach (high calcium content, rich source of iron, rich in antioxidants, rich source of vitamin A, etc.), garlic. Not a lots of ingredients but enough healthy to make this dish so good. Quick to prepare and up! in the oven. The crust is crispy and tasty. Salmon is soft and fill with aroma from spinach and mushroom. White sauce make everything come together and make salmon so moist and tasty. Serve with nice fresh salad on the side, this dish will surely make family, friends, guests, and everyone on the table smile :) And why not make it for dinner tonight? ;)

Son's Birthday cake

It has been so long since my last update on my blog. I am so sorry to all my lovely followers as well as my kind visitors that take their value time to stop by .. sorry for not being there updating my blog. I have been on a holidays, far from where i live right now. Back to my dearest country i missed so much. I have spend most of my time over there, half of the world away, from cold to hot, eating and eating and eating.. not so interesting i know .. It's just because i love the food from my country so much that i try to catch up what i missed from the whole year back. As the result, i gain LOTS of weight. No complaining!

I still didn't have a chance to bake any sweet as i (as well as my whole family :D) have to lose (6 kg!) some weights. So, i will simply just share you the pictures of Birthday Cake that i make for my family last year. Interesting? :D

This one is my son's 3rd Birthday cake. Yes, easy to guess that he must like spider man so much he wanted to eat him :D
