Vege, Shrimp, and Milk Soup with Vermicelli 鲜虾牛奶汤米粉

This soup is inspired by my favorite Malaysian food "Fish head vermicelli 鱼头米粉".

Know one of those days when it's cold and foggy outside?
Those days always make me crave for a bowl of hot steaming soup.

So I decided to make my mom proud and pack in lots of nutritious ingredients into this soup dish: vegetable, mushroom, shrimp, and milk.

After a few renditions, I made it for my boyfriend just now and got both his thumbs up.
(You must think that he basically only had the choice to say "oh it's so yummy!" But the truth is, we always critique our kitchen experiments with the most unbiased attitude ;)

Here goes..

Gambas a la Plancha

I love shrimps - steamed, stir-fried, fried, raw!

Ran across this yummy-yet-simple recipe from the DailyCandy: just enough ingredients to showcase the shrimp!

Remember to get very fresh ones.

Guacamole Dip

My boyfriend makes kick-ass Guacamole dip!
He said the key is to get good ripe avocado - a little soft to the touch with dark green skin.

Let the party start!

Enjoy!
