I love eating completely braised eggs where the sauce gets right through and all around them. I always feel cheated whenever I buy a superficially braised or Chinese Tea egg where the outside looks perfectly browned and the inside tastes all bland and makes you go ‘bleah’. I call that outright deprivation.
It is difficult. You start off not knowing exactly how it should taste like, and yet you know when you’ve gotten it wrong. I could only give it my best shot in my attempt to discover what my mama’s secret recipe contains.
I was so happy to hear the little big devil’s voice yesterday. I’m so glad to have had the chance to talk to him. In fact, I probably haven’t had such a good conversation with him for a long time already. 😆
‘Bak’ = Meat (肉）+ ‘Kwa’ = Dried (干）
So, ‘Bak Kwa’ = Dried (and sweet and barbequed) meat slices!
