honeycomb & eggs

first up will be the chocolate covered honeycomb Jer got for me from AUS. He gave it to me quite a while back.. in its clear plastic packaging. I had an empty cardboard hello panda container lying around, so I transferred the honeycomb in there.. Sad to say, my love for chocolate ran away for awhile until recently.. & it would seem that.. my box of chocolates was ajar.. & the honeycomb.. went soft. Means it lao hong la ~ only those which were fully covered in chocolate maintained their hardy & crispy-ness.

true color of honeycomb AFTER it went soft

The honeycomb's natural color is a slightly pale yellow. Whereas the after it went soft, the color's actually darker. Color change is like a dry blue shirt getting wet? haha. Ever since I tasted the lao hong-ed honeycomb, I've been trying to turn them all soft. Reason being that it's all crumbly and easy to eat after it's gone soft. & it tastes like caramel, still sweet but no longer sticks to your teeth the way it normally does when you bite into it.

On to the egg molds I got from DAISO.. photo shall come first before I say anything. *grins*

yellow star & blue heart egg molds

Now I must emphasize that I did not follow the instructions on the packaging. I skipped the 5 mins in the fridge step. Simply because I didn't read & just looked at the pictures/drawings. heh. Despite all that, I looked up a review & found a youtube video of a guy in Canada using them. He followed the steps and still, I didn't think the star looked like a star. It still came out looking like a cherry blossom. *shrug* There's a paper & chopsticks for the heart-shaped egg, but I failed in that as well.. Shall revisit egg molds when I'm tired of rolling my eggs (tamagoyaki). ╮(─▽─)╭
