Haven’t had this dish for a while, this is one of my mom’s cooking, she will cook this for me whenever she feels like I am low in energy and weak when I was a kid, this is a refilling and replenishing kind of dish.
A lot of Chinese believe that if you eat something similar to your own body part, it will heal and strengthen the part that look alike. To me, this is one of those dish that calls on the memory, I miss it especially when I feel weak and down, the actual function of this dish does not really matter, I draw the strength from the memory of my mom and my childhood. It was damn delicious too of course.

Arriving Bangkok pretty late, or rather, pretty early; by the time I reach the hotel (Centre Point Hotel Silom), its already around 3 am, so it depends on how you look at it.
I knew my arriving time, so I have decided not to pay for the night I don’t really use, instead, I will rest in the hotel in the wee hour upon arrival and hang out around the city until check in time. Being a cheapskate that I am, I thought this was a fantastic idea. Come on, I saved a day!
Thank God the hotel is very accommodating with the idea, they took my luggage, store it safely, and led me to their 4th floor lobby and let me sleep there, customer service is first class, a great start in Bangkok.

Century eggs, or 100-year egg, or 1000-year egg, is a Chinese preserved egg call 皮蛋 (PiDan). It can be eaten just like that or used in a number of Chinese cuisine and recipes. Although in theory it can be made from any kind of egg, it is usually made with chicken, duck or quail eggs. I would love to see one made with ostrich egg, that would be something.
