Mom's Birthday Dinner

Last July 16th was my mom's birthday. Actually, I was supposed to post a picture of the entire dinner table but my shots were just too terrible to be published. Anyway, we had Arroz a la Valenciana, buttered shrimp, shrimp with cashew and green peas, steamed lapulapu with mayo, chicken-mushroom hofan noodles, macaroni salad (recipes to follow), maja blanca, leche flan, and the Chocolate Overload cake from Conti's. It was such a happy dinner that i've totally forgotten how tired i was from all the kitchen adventures i had that day. =)
