Looks like I couldn’t find a much better way to end the year then. It has to be a recipe, and an egg recipe at that. How very appropriate.
Which begs the question: What would my first blog of 2011 be? I’ll probably have the answer in 4 hours’ time!
Happy 2011!! 😈 *Whistle blows*

Tricks:

- If anyone has a better idea on how to flip an egg without having to train as an apprentice for a year, let me know!
Disclaimer:
- The Egg Foo Yong served in Singapore usually has no gravy. I’m surprised to find many recipes of this version online and decided to give it a try. Nice!
