Super Silai Sunday

Sundays are for testing my super silai skills. Aiya, not that i have lots to test also lar, ok. I bought these super cute Japanese Egg Molds from the 100 Yen shop across the road from Parkson.They dont cost much, but i forgot how much i paid. Something like Rm5 for 2 lidat gua.

Japanese Egg Molds

These super cute Japanese Egg Molds are sold in packs of two. I bought two packs as there are only four designs for sale. The car shaped Egg Mold is a must for my car-car crazy Malcolm. Gordon’s not particular as long as he gets his share.

Japanese Bento Egg Molds

Here’s how the Japanese Egg Molds look like when opened. I only had three large eggs in the fridge that day. So, i boiled them all on the stove and let the kids choose which egg mold they want to use.

Egg molds with hard boiled eggs

You are supposed to use HARD BOILED EGGS with these egg molds only. And use them the moment you take them out of the pot when they are still soft. Place them into each mold and close the lid slowly. I was told they fit better if you place the eggs upright. If you find it hard to close the lid all the way down, slide the blunt side of a butter knife around the egg mold to guide the eggs into the holes as you close the lids.

Egg Molds in water

Once you are done closing the lids, dunk the egg molds into cold water.

Egg Molds in Iced Water

Add ice to it to speed up the hardening and shaping process.

Your shaped hard boiled eggs should be ready in about 10 to 5 minutes. Tada…………
