French Toast - Hong Kong-Style

bonnie.yveskitchen
My dad was a chef and usually worked almost 7 days per week and super long hours. I seldom saw him at home. All my memories with him were about "Food". He loved to bring me to "Cha Chaan Teng" a Hong Kong-style cafe and we loved to order the French Toast, and my dad would allow me to get a big chunk of butter & pour half a jar of golden syrup. What a sweet memory. I love you, daddy 🙂

A little spicy surprise at the end. 😋 seaweed men A little spicy surprise at the end. 😋

seaweed mentaiko tamagoyaki @smoked_tamago 

The first bite was all about the silky egg and delicate aroma of seaweed. Soft, comforting, and beautifully balanced.

Just when I thought the story had ended, the mentaiko quietly made its appearance — bringing a gentle burst of umami and a hint of spice.

It didn’t steal the spotlight from the egg.

Instead, it completed the whole experience.

Simple ingredients often reveal the most skill.

No wonder this tamagoyaki was crowned Scotland’s Street Food Champion 2025 🏆

Even my Japanese friend approved. 😋

Some dishes don’t need to be complicated.

So proud of you, Hongkonger😊

They just need to do the simple things exceptionally well.
George Michael taught me the importance of being t George Michael taught me the importance of being true to yourself and listening to your own heart.

Growing up in Hong Kong, while many children around me were listening to Cantopop, an eight-year-old girl was already humming Careless Whisper. I would spend my pocket money on cassette tapes and read the lyric sheets over and over again, looking up words in the dictionary. My dream was simple: one day, I wanted to meet him.

Decades later, that little girl is now living in the UK. Life has taken me further than I could ever have imagined, yet sadly I never got the chance to meet him.

Perhaps that is George Michael’s greatest legacy for me. His music crossed cultures, languages and generations, and accompanied me through different chapters of my life. He showed me that following your own path is not always the easiest choice, but it is the most honest one. #georgemichael #lastchristmas #tonightthemusicseemssoloud

On my way home, I spotted Malay Laksa and simply c On my way home, I spotted Malay Laksa and simply couldn’t resist bringing a bowl home 😍

The lovely owners packed everything separately — broth and toppings apart, while the tofu puffs were left soaking in the soup to absorb all that delicious flavour.

Takeaway dishes can sometimes lose a little magic, but so much thought has gone into the details here that it still scored top marks at home.

Even my notoriously picky husband couldn’t stop praising the pork belly and the rich, comforting broth 😍

And for those who don’t eat meat, there are vegetarian options too 🌱

@malay_laksa Edinburgh’s laksa champion, without a doubt. Thank you for bringing such wonderful food to our city 💕
