DOUBLE-YOLK EGG FOR LUNCH
Today had lunch at my favorite roast meat stall at this Commonwealth Crescent coffee shop. I ordered roast duck with an additional black sauce hard boiled egg. I was pleasantly surprised to find a double-yolk egg in it. I vaguely remember the last time I came across a double yolk egg was when I was a kid; when mum came across one while preparing our meals. It's like an old friend, "long time no see" haha.
I am not sure if it is a Chinese superstition but we often hear eating double-yolk egg or twin bananas will make women fertile or bear twins. Some suggest good luck. A search on the internet confirm these superstition exist. However in some parts of Britian it is considered a bad omen. Chinese tend to look with favour anything that comes in pair. It's like you get double positives, in goodness, in luck, in happiness etc. A good example is the "double happiness" sign put up during a traditional Chinese wedding. So I'd like to think something doubly positive is coming my way.
From my Vblog :
Hi Frankie,
ReplyDeleteThis comment is unrelated to your post. I saw your comment on another blog, stating that you saw 2 stone elephants at the door of Aw's residence. Would you be able to describe how the elephants look? Height, material, condition.
Thank you!

Hi petrapetra, I'm really sorry to have taken so long to reply. I have neglected my blog after the introduction of so many more social media channels; I got distracted. I've may actually seen your question on that other Blog. I have photo of the Elephant. Unfortunately this reply column doesn't have a photo attachment function.
