Celebrated Joy's Birthday with 18 course Meal.....Happy Birthday
Half Boiled Eggs
This is a rather simple breakfast meal however making these eggs, timing is very crucial. I believed these half boiled eggs originated from the British during their colonial rule. As a Cook to the British master, Hainanese cooks had took these breakfast meal to a different twist after the British left. Some started Coffee Shop or what is commonly known as Kopitiam (pronounce as Ko.p.t.m quickly). Normally it goes with freshly roasted coffee or Hainanese tea and Kaya Toast. Kaya is a spread that consist of coconut milk, pandan leave, egg and sugar. Some would prefer just butter and sugar.
Most Chinese do not like these eggs but in Singapore, almost everyone knows these eggs however not many can perfect it correctly. Most of the failure to perfect these eggs is that the eggs had taken directly from the fridge and immediately tried to boil them.
These eggs must be left at room temperature, take these eggs out from the fridge and leave it overnight. Boil a pot water, place the eggs in a bowl preferable ceramic as it absorb heat. Pour the hot water in till eggs are covered then drain. Then pour the hot water again in the bowl till the eggs are covered over and cover the bowl for five and a half minutes. The eggs should come out right and you can still scrap the egg whites from the shell. Seasoned it with white pepper and soy sauce, I prefer to use dark mushroom soy sauce as it gives a distinct flavour, it all depends on your preference.
These eggs will taste good when it is still warm, dip it with toast or just go straight down your throat.
Note: if you removed the eggs after five and a half minutes and not crack open, the eggs will continue to cook and the texture will be different. The method above is good for 2 eggs only, if more I can't grantee as I never tried it with more than 2 eggs

Young Tau Foo is one of my favourite dish. I used to have at least once a week and this particular stall in Beach Road Food Centre is my favourite choice.
Basically I love everything they have to offer, the chilli sauce is really nice and the fish paste they used are all home made including the fish balls which I always have extra. Unlike many Yong Tau Foo stall, their kangkong are all raw, however over here their kangkong are pre-cook and wrap in a bundle just like the good old days.
Banana Crepe
This was the best breakfast my ex-wife have prepared after knowing her for 19yrs. The ingredient is rather simple and it packed with enough power ingredient to start the day off.
