Culinary genius from yours truly
Haven't been to London since CNY so were desperate for some nice egg tarts.
Bought some from Wai Yee Hong, the big Chinese supermarket here in Bristol (which is nohwere as nice as See Woo in Reading coz they do not stock yee mee - something which I have been dying to have since forever T^T), that were NOT good at all.
So attempted to make some myself. Went online to search for recipes. Then put bits and pieces together to suit myself.
Here's the result:
The first time, I tried with some cheap Yorkshire pudding which turned out not bad except for the fact that the fillings leaked through the pudding.
So the second time around, I made little aluminum foil to hold the filling in but it still leaked out.
Tried the third time with proper tart shells (ready-made ones coz I'm too lazy and lack the tools to make the pastry myself) but then I kinda put the heat on too high and was distracted by a movie so they turned out burnt. Even though it smelt dammmnnnn good and the filling did not leaked out!
Am quite sure I took photos of the burnt tarts - but cant seem to find them anyway -.-
Anyway...
Finally, fourth time's the charm!!! People who are closer to me know that 4 is my lucky number and this just goes to prove that it's true =p
See, see - so niceeee, right?
I'm a freaking genius, that I am =)
ps: will try to make the pastry if the mood hits me one day but in the meantime, i shall contend myself with the lazy girl's way ><
pps: need to get a nice good camera and practice my photo-taking skills to properly enhance the superb-ness of my culinary talent - do i hear any offers? XD
