…or known for Filipino as “itlog na maalat” o “itlog na pula” for its dyed red to distinguish it from other fresh duck eggs. The process might be long but it is a Chinese preserved food product made by soaking eggs in brine or packing each egg in damp, salted charcoal.

I sometimes ignore this when I was in Philippines but when we still live in Phnom Penh finding it makes me happy. But when we moved here in Bangkok, I wasn’t able to find one, maybe I am not searching that seriously. So, when we went to Philippines for holiday last December, I even requested to my mum to buy some. Well, its been long time since I last ate a boiled salted duck egg, so when I spotted it at the grocery last Sunday,  I am like a happy little girl with a big smile…

Just perfect, the way I like it…it is normally boiled or steamed before peeled and eaten. The egg white has a sharp salty taste while the orange red yolk is rich, fatty and less salty. Sometimes it is served as condiment in a congee, or cooked with other foods as flavoring. I want it mixed with small slices of tomato and its ready…I had it for lunch yesterday! Oh, just yummy…

How about you, are you eating it? If yes, do you also mixed it with tomato? Let me know, and thanks for coming!

Have a great week, everyone!

…and we are ready to go! Well, at least this time we are not moving from one country to another but just from one little room to a bigger one that we can call our home here in Bangkok! I am so looking forward for it!

Everyone knew me personally knows how excited I am last Thursday but before sharing with you our current apartment. Let me share first how much things we accumulate for the past 6 months living in a little room. Well, don’t get me wrong, we love it—great owners and staff, which we really need for a new comer, they really helped us a lot with things we don’t know about Bangkok! Baan Sukhumvit Soi 20 will always be special to us.

Anyway, here we are when we first arrived in Bangkok August 2010…these are the things we have then!

And here’s our things when we are about to leave Baan Sukhumvit last Thursday…

Ok, for more closer look, here they are…huh, I just can’t imagine how we managed to get those stuff.

And believe it or not, we have a lot more things coming in few weeks, our things from Phnom Penh, Cambodia which has been stored in Asian Tigers storage was about to come, and its one huge container…waahhh. We need to really get organized with these things we have right now!

Lastly, sharing Isabelle in her new bed/room…does she look like sick? Well, she was sick when this was taken, morning before we moved she got fever and vomiting. But thanks God, she’s better now, taking antibiotics still but fever’s now gone! Thanks for everyone who wishes her well, very much appreciated!

Anyway, our moved went so smooth, thanks God…we was able to sleep all well on our first night even Isabelle. We are enjoying and loving our new place, I will tell more about it later! Oh, before I forgot…I am, we are thankful to Fon of Home Connect – Thailand (Asian Tigers) for being our agent and helped us a lot. Without her, it won’t be that easy…or will not be the same great service they gave to us! Thanks mucho Fon…hugs!
