Pinoy Music Festival in Singapore!

Have been neglecting my mails (and been living in my shell) that I had not realized that a musical storm has been brewing for Filipinos in Singapore! This Sunday, March 1, Philippines' greatest bands will gather in Singapore to blast some serious sounds! Eto lang naman ang magpeperform ng full set and maririning nyo: 6 Cyclemind, Afterimage, Bamboo, Imago, Kamikazee, Moonstar88, Parokya ni Edgar, Razorback, Sandwich, Siakol, The Dawn, and The Youth!

Such a great idea! Kudos to pinoySunday and RonJohn Productions.

Soft-boiled eggs the Singapore way

If you thought that boiled eggs are boiled eggs, and couldn't possibly be exciting, you clearly haven't been to one of Singapore's kopitiams¹. Order eggs and you'll get a big plastic cup covered with a saucer. You'll also get soy sauce and pepper. Hep, before you say, "I didn't order this!" let me assure you that you did order that. That's soft-boiled eggs served the Singapore way.

Intimidated by the whole plastic cup, and pepper and soy sauce thing? Don't worry. I'll tell you everything you need to know, you'll look like a pro!


To eat soft-boiled eggs the Singapore way:

1. Well, first you've got to wait. Two minutes if you want a really watery yolk. Four to five minutes if you want the yolk a bit firmer.
   
2. Take the eggs out of the cup one at a time and crack them open.
   
3. Pour the egg white and yolk into the saucer provided.
   
4. Add a little dark soy sauce.
   
5. Sprinkle a little love, errmm, pepper.
   
6. Mix.
   
7. Mix really well!
   
8. Enjoy!
   

It's really easy! But if you still can't picture the whole process and you're still feeling a bit insecure about the whole thing, watch this lovely video by Aram Pan for a short demonstration:
