An ex colleague / friend (Irene) invited us over for a simple dinner recently. She and maids cooked nasi lemak. There were chicken rendang, Indonesian tempeh, prawn sambal. All the dishes were good. But..there was one other simple dish that I loved most.
The 荷包蛋.
Slightly oily. Slightly salty although she confirmed many times that she didn't add any salt. Yolk was rare medium cooked - just the way I like it. Exactly like my mom's fried eggs. I was so tempted to take two eggs~
Didn't remember to take any pics, didn't intend to blog about it anyway.
Here's one from the net that looks the closest . Simple yet looking delicious.

Inspired by Irene, I tried making 荷包蛋 today.
No where near Irene's nor mom's.
Not rare enough. Not wet enough.
No taste.
Hmm.. I miss my mama~
You have to heat up the wok & oil enough and then crack the egg in & cook in slow fire.
