Hi Diana
You can get thickening cream from NTUC, GIANT. I have tried using cooking cream or whip cream but the consistency is not as great. Can also use heavy cream. Hope you like it

Hi Karen,
Can I not use the wine or should i replace with a non alcohol substitute? Thanks!

Hi Mira
Yes you can. You may substitute with some chicken stock for the liquid. The cream, mustard and butter will still give you a very nice taste and fragrance.
