Hong gai tan

Had just finished making ‘hong gai tan’..red eggs.
Am typing the keyboard with red fingers.
Preparing was easy … just hard-boil the eggs & dye them in red food colouring. Having ‘hong gai tan’ for some Chinese is like having ‘cake’ for birthday.

When I was small, I love to eat ‘hong gai tan’ because mum made them especially for me.
Now when I’m big (in age I mean) I hope mum will love the ‘hong gai tan’ we make for her (although I know all hard boiled eggs taste the same)

2 days ago, I heard that a friend’s mother prepare 2 ‘hong gai tan’ and ‘min xin’ (rice vicemillie – a type of noodle thin and white in colour) for her breakfast on her birthday morning. Honestly, I felt a tinge of envy. I wished I have that too but since I can’t, I had made up my mind to make it the other way round. I’m gonna make it for my mum. Hope she’ll like it.

Her birthdays will be great .. my relatives plan to give her a surprise party … shh =)
