Desserts
Dinner is now behind us and the Desserts are coming up. I don't know about you, but for me, I am always looking for something sweet after a meal. You know what I am talking about, don't you? The craving for something sweet that lingers on, a meal not quite complete without desserts. For me, dessert does not have to be something elegant, ore even elaborate, all I needed is just few bites, washing it down with a cup of freshly brewed coffee and voila, I am satisfied! The meal is finally complete and I can move on the other things...

|
Tin Tin could not believe I baked the tarts and the cakes. |
Hanh made brought a large and colorful platter of fruits. |
|
Chi Lien brought some Che (in the bucket) and Dung made a large bowl of Che Chua (banana, coconut and pudding sweet mixture). |
I also set up a chocolate fountain for the kids. This is another hit with the kids! They were mesmerized with the fountain and simply loved to dip the fruits into the chocolate. |
|
Now that all the desserts are set up, I gather everyone and make a small announcement ...Surprise, surprise tonight we are celebration my aunt 60th birthday! |
Here she is... The star of the evening! |
We all started to sing "Happy Birthday", pictures were taken, people were clapping! I was a fun moment.
|
|
 |
Here she is waiting for all us to finish singing so she can blow the candles.
Time to blow out the candles. Happy Birthday!
|
The candles are almost blown! A few more seconds and it will be over... then I went ahead I made the second announcement.... |
The second surprise of the evening is Lan Huong's birthday (the next day). She was really surprised. Lan Huong had no clue I knew her birthday was coming up! |
Again, we all sang Happy birthday! We all know that Lan Huong just loves Diamond!
I hear a few jokes, all about getting diamonds for her birthday!
