This is my favorite kind of egg – ‘char tan’ or herbal egg. I normally buy them from the Eu Yan Sang chinese medicine hall near my house. I also love to drink the herbal soup that’s used to boil the egg. At only 60 sen per egg, it’s a cheap and nutricious food. I normally buy 2 – one for me and one for my maid. When I order ‘phat chan’ or ‘8 types of herbs’ soup from the shop, I also give half to my maid. My maid is one lucky maid.
I’m a 50+ mum of three grown daughters, now back in my beautiful hometown of Ipoh and slowly rebuilding a quieter, gentler life. After years between Ipoh and KL, I’ve returned to my roots to spend time with my parents in their 80s, my soul-healing cat, and the simple things that matter most. I blog and vlog about family life, home cooking, Ipoh food finds, and everyday moments that make this season of life meaningful.
I do product reviews and accept sponsored posts on my blogs.
I hope you'll enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy sharing my day-to-day adventures and mostly boring ranting :P
Thanks for being here. 💛

I tried buying the pre-packed herbs to boil myself (long long time ago). But somehow it’s not as tasty as the ones they sell outside.
