Creamy Sweet Corn soup 香濃滑滑忌廉粟米湯

Birthday birthday birthday! My birthday is coming! I invited some friends over to have a birthday gathering dinner. Since it's my birthday celebration, I minimized my duty on cooking the dinner or making desserts. I only made this Creamy corn soup, mash potatoes and Caesar Salad. Heat up meat loaf, calamari, and spring roll. We ordered some sushi and my husband do some lamb chop, chicken steak and meat balls BBQ. At last my friends will buy me a birthday cake!! Actually they bought me 2 CAKES!!!!!
Thanks everyone! I feel blessed! Muah kiss kiss ~~
