A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand

[Fishypie]

Hehehehe. Detox program temporary on hold. Here got many 高手. 小弟 pai seh, pai seh. Bought a pack of CP Mexican wings. Defrost it and add a little of Shao Xing wine and Pan fried for 2 mins. Aroi mak mak. And more importantly, goes well with the whisky.

Fishypie, have been trying the egg omlette fuffy version but have no luck. Any tips from you or any bros/sis ? OK, fluffy means 'hoo hoo' in hokkien. Don't exactly know how to express it in English. Pai seh.

Still evaluating the weather. Might or might not go out tonight. :p

As regards to the fLuffy omLettes; here are some simpLe pointers :
1. Your oiL have to be adequate, and set on high heat tiLL you see some smokes' before you pour in your eggs.
2. Whisk your eggs throughLy beforehand, to ensure there are Lots of airs trapped within.DO NOT add any water.
3. Reduce the fLame once the mixture are in.Rotate your wok, to ensure there is eveness in the 'burning' process.
4. OcassionaLLy you may use a LadLe to Lift and 'peep' the sides before deciding if there are done to your preference..

Bro. Gam Sia for the tips. I am using induction cooker now cos' apartment banned gas cooker but I do have portable gas cooker. Problem with induction cooker is it can get heated up very fast and take a longer time to cool. I am also using a stainless steel wok with flat base. Used to have a solid cast iron wok but threw it away due to over rusty when I stopped cooking for a while.

I suspect the fluffyness in omlette could also be due to adding starch but yet to confirm.

Pleasant evening.

I find Thai's fried scramble eggs either with mince pork or plain to be very nice and fluffy like you said. The secret to this delicious dish is to use lots of oil and slow fire. Not enough oil not fluffy. So at home I will not do this cos oil to make it fluffy is just too much and unhealthy.

no no no no starch. Fishypie is correct, beat the egg till lots of air get in.

I use induction at home also but i do think the fluffyness in the egg is when you beat the hell out of it in the bowl and have so much air inside before frying. Don't recall adding starch but i have to check with the bestest chef in singapore..... my lao bu!!

Morning guys,

Just woke up with a bad headache now. :*: First time in many months I took panadol. Had some dim sum for breakfast. Will have a shower and go to sleep again. Hopefully, not so headache.

Yeah, last night 'kee siao' and went into a tequilla war with a SYT. Not just tequilla, saeng som and chang beer too. Still OK before I went to bed, but when woke up, head spinning. Now regret liaoz.

Sign of age catching up liaoz. :(
