Creative Kitchen : Rolled Eggs

Inspired by Korean and Japanese way of slow-making eggs, I've failed doing this multiple times before so, the foot I started out on for this was on the back foot. But did I want to try it again? Yes. 

It was harder and took longer than I thought. Tip is this: You need time and patience. Unlike all the other egg recipes that I tried out, this was...intricately difficult. Don't do it if you don't have the time. 😂

Mine wasn't good enough for me but it was...well...OK, I guess. 

What I Used
Minced fresh garlic + whisked 7 eggs + julienned carrots + cut-up crab cakes + thinly-sliced spring onions. You can use whatever vegetables you have on hand, it doesn't really make a difference in the end. 

Tips Based on Experience
  1. Beat up eggs and add salt, pepper, and chicken/anchovies bouillon; Set aside
  2. Add in other side ingredients into the eggs mix
  3. Heat up cooking oil, saute garlic for a few seconds
  4. Pour in first layer of egg mix and let cook for a few minutes on MED HEAT
  5. Once Bottom of eggs are cooked, start the first roll
  6. Add more eggs and other ingredients to the bottom of the pan
  7. Roll again
  8. Wait and roll again
  9. Rinse and repeat
  10. Take off heat, rest, and cut (gently)


THAT is the perfect GyeranMari. Mine's not.

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...

At Camp 5, 1 Utama: Kids' Rescue Mission

The kids had a wonderfully exciting day today. Now, this is as extreme as this mother is going to get. Mommy goes Paintball, kids go mountain-climbing...I think I've fulfilled the criteria of offering my kids a fun and exciting life as a kid. :-) It was one of their friends' birthday party and they're a little bored of KidzSports...that's for BABIES, anyway, they say. So, off to Camp 5 then, says the birthday boy's mother. Camp 5 in 1 Utama is located near Neways Karaoke, for those who have never been there before. It's a neat little corner tucked up on the roof of the massive shopping complex. Anyway, the kids had tons of fun although a little apprhensive when they saw how high the 'rock' was. It's actually quite neat and if I didn't feel like throwing up whenever up on higher grounds, I would have wanted to try it as well. The highlight of this party came in the form of a rescue mission. As we all know, when one is frighte...

Demanding a Balanced Lifestyle

We live in a world choked with demands….demand for more money, better lifestyle, more holidays, smarter kids, bigger house, posher cars….etc. People walk around with spiritually unimportant goals in their minds driven by the need to succeed and be better than others around them. Hong Kong. South Korea. Japan. Most Asian countries suffer from this ill-fate which have caused a horrific rise in the number of suicide rates in the said countries. Malaysia is no exception as well although we’re very slowly gaining ground on our neighbors. Just picking up my son from school can become a stressful affair. I’ve mentioned this to a few friends of mine over the phone and all of them cluck their tongue shake their head. It’s end of the year and the kids are getting their test results back by now. I overheard a couple of tai-tais (housewives) gripe about their kids’ results. Mom: I don’t know-lah. My kid did not do very well this term. The best also got 95 only. (NINETY FIVE ONLY???) ...
