Soft-boiled duck eggs are very popular in Thailand Soft-boiled duck eggs are very popular in Thailand — you’ll find them everywhere, from street food stalls to noodle shops and restaurants.

Thai people love the soft-boiled texture: a tender egg white with a yolk that’s just set, rich, and still beautifully orange.
It’s often eaten with lots of garlic and fresh chillies, making it even more flavourful.

If you prefer, you can cook it fully done — just adjust the timing to your liking.

🥚 Soft-boiled: about 5–6 minutes
🥚 Fully cooked: about 6–8 minutes

泰國人好鍾意食鴨蛋,無論路邊攤、粉麵店,定係餐廳,都隨處可見。

佢哋特別鍾意半熟嘅口感:
蛋白嫩滑,蛋黃剛剛熟,仲保持住鮮艷橙色。

通常會配大量蒜頭同辣椒一齊食,簡單但非常惹味。

如果唔食半熟,其實都可以煮至全熟,按自己喜好調整時間就可以。

🥚 半熟:約 5–6分鐘
🥚 全熟:約 6–8分鐘

This jar was entered without mentioning my backgro This jar was entered without mentioning my background.

A kumquat marmalade,
sent to the Dalemain World Marmalade Awards in the UK —
simply as it is.

They didn’t know about Yves Kitchen,
and didn’t know who I was.

It was just a jar.

And it came back with a Silver Award.

Flavour: 10/10
Total: 18/20

For me, this means more than I expected.
Because it feels like being seen —
purely through taste.

This Kumquat Marmalade is for my grandpa. I hope this made him proud xx

原來
有些味道,一直都在。

I almost didn’t submit this. Before leaving for T I almost didn’t submit this.

Before leaving for Thailand,
in between packing and everything else,
I made a jar of kumquat marmalade and sent it off —
just to try.

No expectations. Just instinct.

Weeks later, it came back with a Silver Award
at the Dalemain World Marmalade Awards in the UK.

“A lovely marmalade… the subtle flavour of kumquat comes through.”

For me, it’s never just about sweetness.
It’s about capturing a flavour that feels like home.

I hope this made my grandpa proud 💕

趕住出發前做的一樽果醬,
最後帶回來一點溫柔的肯定。
