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...

Malaysian Election 2008 - Malaysians ready for change

The political wrestle is over, here in Malaysia, and thankfully too because it earned me a hangove from watching the news, and reading all the readily available blogs on cyberspace all night long. With a spilting headache from squinting into the PC screen, watching the TV for news on the results from the ballot boxes, anxiety, uncertainty and HOPE lingers in the air..... BN, our ruling party in Malaysia, who has been flexing its political muscles for a long time now with the confident (and ever sleepy and gay) PM convincing Malaysians that BN is the only way to peace. Opposition cannot hold the fort properly, though, because the formation and coalition between them is too loose. But with BN denied the 2/3 majority it needed, all I can say is that Pak Lah tore a tendon while flexing his political muscles. Fed up, fed up, fed up - Malaysians are fed up A lot of Malaysians chose not to vote for the oppositition IN THE PAST because we wanted unity, we resisted change because of a date w...

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim...
