These quail eggs are just soooo pretty don't you think? I was rinsing these cute little things when I noticed the unique pattern on each egg. You can't find 2 eggs with a similar pattern and I find it rather intriguing especially when I was cupping about 20 eggs in my two hands. It's hard to describe in words, so go get yourself some quail eggs and you will know what I mean!=)
Anyhoo, I was preparing Nasi Lemak (Rice with Coconut milk). For those who are not familiar with this dish, Nasi Lemak is traditionally served in banana leaves, with the sambal ikan bilis (anchovies in chilli paste), cucumber and a small fried fish (which I can't recall the name at this point of time) but this is my version, with whatever ingredients I have in my kitchen. Tastes good but urm, forgot to take the picture of the rice!heheheheh...
