Thai style Lamb Salad


It has been so long since my last entry.. and I felt bad for not able to update this blog as regularly as I can.. as Ive been soo busy with my cake orders the last few months..

Anyway, I had a Xmas dinner 2 nights ago and I cooked a few dishes for my close friends, it was an intimate dinner for the six adults and 4 kids.. and I truly enjoyed cooking for my beloved friends.. I did an experimenting with one dish that comes out pretty well, so thought ill share it all with you!

Method:
