Egg and Egg Tarts on a Friday

Soft boil egg

Half boil egg

There are many different ways how egg can be cooked. When we go out for breakfast I  love having half boiled eggs together with Kaya toast.  It’s really tasty when eaten with dark soya sauce.

A few weeks ago we had egg tarts from a bakery for breakfast. It didn’t taste as nice as those egg tarts that we normally order when we go out for Dim Sum. We decided to create our own version of the egg tart as the boys are on holidays now.

The egg tarts were snapped up and eaten before I could take a proper photo of all the pieces that we made. I had to stop the kids from taking the last egg tart on the plate for the shot above.

How do you like eating eggs?

Next Teacher Guz  made Monkey boy do three different poses in front of his camera. They were captured and printed out before being pasted on the three canvases when the background was dried.

On the 2nd day Monkey boy learned how to blend colors and painted the photo which was stuck on the canvas to give it a more 3D appeal. Before long the time was up and he had to leave the final touch up for the third day.

His pictures were finally done after doing the touch ups on the third day. Now it was just to dry it fully before it could be taken home.
