Chinese egg custards











This is my 3rd trial. It turns out to be very nice. I gave it a 100%. My pignea pig gave it a 98% due to some presentation flaws. He said that the crust height was not uniform. Some of the egg pudding has shrink down to show some wrinkles on the surface. Despite what he said, he wanted to keep a dozen of these custards...???!!!!
This time I call it a success because the bottom of the crust is fully cooked and is cripsy. The edge of the crust is browned. The egg pudding is cooked just right. Perfect!

stuffed green and red peppers


My first time to stuff peppers with shrimp, Chinese mushrooms, and dried scallops. It turns out to be good with a sauce. However, the stuffing was too thick. The bottom part is not as well cooked. Room for improvement next time. My pignea pig (Lewis) gave it a score of 85/100 because of the undercooking problem. But it smells and looks very good. : )
