Egg Timer @ Apple Store

Over the weekend the very early morning as I woke up from the bed, my mind was craving half boiled eggs badly after a been repeated having half-boiled eggs in CBTL and Eng Ann coffee shop. I also been reading a lot bloggers home cooked food especially Baby Sumo's blog on egg poaches tempted me to try it out at home.

Often mom boil eggs for me during childhood, using the tradition way the yellow jar with the dripping hole. I find it rather tedious not so accurate with the results and I did not use it anymore. After I read through "How to Cook the Perfect Soft Boiled Egg" now I have a better idea in boiling it, so I started my assignment at home. I have all the ingredients, except timer. I been searching around to get a proper small cute timer, rather disappointing came home with empty hands.

What I have in mind, perhaps software can help? I think would be ridiculous to depend on software right? I'm unsatisfying what I want.. Immediately I took the Ipad out, search in apple store to see if I can dig out a cooking TIMER. Surprisingly there's a lot timers. First result, "Egg Timer". Could not believe they have this apps, oh yeah my life become more easy. Quickly download it, can't wait to browser what is inside.

Hi June, this coming to you from across the ocean. I was fooling around the Net via Google noticed the new mall Paradigm, and noticing 'kung Fu restaurant' kliked into your this blog. Nice blog you have.

I used to live in PJ as well Subang Jaya once upon a time, wayyyyy back in the late '70s, and have now lost touch with Malaysia. But really great to see how much it has changed. I can't even recognize PJ or KL anymore.

About your this half boil egg....I remember those Hainanese coffee shops in KL makes the perfect half boiled eggs, add their toast bread and kaya....the perfect breakfast.
I have yet to make the perfect half boiled egg, ha ha.

You have a nice day and keep a song in your heart.
Best regards.
Lee.
