I woke up with a grouchy 8yo this morning. The other front tooth of his is loose and he doesnt like it. As i was preparing fried rice for their lunch, he walked in and declared he doesnt want rice today. He then took out a packet of rice vermicelli and i cooked that with some marinated minced pork for him instead. I remembered seeing a friend preparing cheese omelet for breakfast a while ago and that gave me an idea is to what to put into his lunchbox for recess later on.

And so, tadaa…. Gordon’s getting Cheese Omelet hor-pau-dan styled for recess today. Crunchy on the outside with all the cheesy goodness all wrapped up inside. I’ll skip the mayo and top it with ketchup for him instead. He can have it with a few packets of those dried Japanese seaweed. Heavenly, eh. I dont think he’ll object to this at all!

Today is Father’s Day. My dad passed away in year 2008. This is the second year i wont ever get to hug him, kiss him, nor see him. He shall always remain in my memory forever. So, if yours is still around, cherish every single moment you get to spend with him.

The kids woke up much earlier than both hubby and i. Malcolm wanted food but i ignored him and he went back to sleep (lousy mom :p). Gordon asked for Noodles with egg. I asked him for the time and he told me it’s 12.14pm!!!! That’s it. i just had to leave my warm bed, the warm sheets, the inviting pillows and bolsters…..

I told him i’m going to make him a very special Egg Mayo Sandwich instead and his eyes lit up. As long as his food has egg in it, he’ll be grinning away, haha. He gets to take it into the room and wish Papa Happy Father’s Day. Now, what’s so special about this egg mayo sandwich? It’s still egg mayo and bread only, lol. We’ll see….

Place egg mayo at the center of the bread in the shape of a circle….

Top it with another slice of bread….

Place a glass on top of it….

Press down on it…..

Use a sharp-ended knife and run it round the glass rim….

And tadaaaa…. you get Round Egg Mayo Sandwich. Haimai hou cute lehhhh…..

There is a lot of leftover bread when you make these round egg mayo sandwich. Dont throw them away. Use the leftovers to make bread pudding or freeze them for breadcrumbs. The kids just wanted to eat them immediately. And yes, Papa was so impressed when Gordon handed him the plate and wished him Happy Father’s Day. He had no idea how i made them round either, lol.

Well, the steps are shown in pictures above. It’s so easy that your 4 year old can help make them. You can use anything other than egg mayo as filling. Next time, i’ll go through my kid’s toybox and see if i can find something that can be used to get an interesting shape. Just make sure the edges are wide so that you can press the sides together. If your cookie cutters have a blunt edge, try it.

This is the Father’s Day card that Malcolm brought back from school. Together with the Round Egg Mayo Sandwiches, it makes a wonderful brunch for the four of us. We’ll be taking the kids for a haircut after this as today also marks the end of the school holidays. It’s back to the daily grind starting tomorrow. Enjoy today to the max ya.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

It rained just now and i fell asleep. I was woken up by something freaking cold on my face. My kid placed an egg he took from the fridge on my face! He told me he’s hungry, lol! I forgot both of them only ate Wonton Meen for brunch. Ok, me lousy Mom.

And so, i dragged myself to the kitchen, took the one egg frying pan down from the wall and fried the egg for him. He’s eating it with rice and fried pomfret. My one egg frying pan cute, right. Very convenient too.

Dont have one? Check out the ones here and buy one back. Then you dont have to wash a big pan each time you fry one egg, lol!
