Flexi Pastry Beef Lasagna

This dish was created for my daughter who were competing in the "Juara Chef Muda Kawan di Sinar". Alhamdulillah, at the age of 9 (soon to be in Oct 2011) she secured the 1st Runner-Up spot and won RM800 cash price.

FP Beef Lasagna & FP Salad

My darling daughter "Baby", managed to prepare the dish herself after a good four times practices at home. Everyday we called family and friends to come to our house for food testing. After winning, Baby has also received orders for the FP Beef Lasagna. Kudos Baby!!!
