My verdict : Itlog na maalat / salted egg (chicken eggs)

This is it!...been 25 days now since I made my itlog na maalat (salted egg) and now it's time to do some taste taste :)


check the date!
As you all know I used chicken eggs instead of the usual duck eggs, so I was a little bit worried that I might just get a dry yolk rather than the oily one which is usually do happened when you use the chicken eggs. Anyway, I search online (I ask MR. Google LOL) if its possible for me to attain the oily yolk even if I use different eggs or is there any method that I can use to make them as oily as possible like the one we buy in the store.

Searching, searching and searching till I found one answer! yes i found one!! and it's so easy to do I read her blog and it's really interesting too. She did the brine method and also she used chicken eggs like me!(see picture below the result) :) My Itlog na maalat!!

Creative Mind : How to Hide your cords and electric plugs

I was so busy for the past three weeks now because I am fixing my living room from the scratch (upgrading it on a budget range as you can call it) with the help of my own bare hands 😀 you know? like: removing all our old wallpaper, patching it!, refinishing it and painting it! Yup! call me a superwoman now hehehe and I'm happy about that!!. I know I can't call myself as a PRO like the professional one, but I'm proud and satisfied of what I did. 

Anyway, I already finished painting up my living room in all white (picture below) and decided to remove my husband's old bookshelf and change it to a hanging shelf instead so we can have more space because as you can see we don't have a huge living room πŸ˜€.


This is how my living room looks like now :) neat and bright with my white wall 
If your house is like ours (picture below), you have many cables,internet cord and power outlet all over the house then, you also feel the struggle that I feel everyday hehe. Seriously! I hate so much cables and wires! it makes me feel more stress out by just looking at them tangled 😀 irritating and annoying sometimes! (my Panget is a little nerdy at times and he loves computer and stuff like that so what can I do to look it nice and clean is to hide it hehehe)



tadaaah!! this is how it looks like before and after all the surgery i did LOL! :D holes and cables everywhere in the left picture!

Homemade Itlog na Maalat (Salted Eggs/ Saltade Γ„gg)

Hello guys! It's been 3 months now since my last post and now I'm back! :) Can't wait to share you guys my homemade itlog na maalat. Yes! I did try to make one lol just today! haha yeah!right! I know it takes time before I finally eat it so, I need lot of patience waiting for it in 30 days to be exact. So let's count the days and wait! :) 
My Itlog na maalat soon!
Been wanting to make salted egg since I moved here in Sweden and I really really miss Pinoy comfort food like tuyo, isaw, betamax, kwek-kwek etc etc etc...to many to mention and "Itlog na Maalat" is one of them. I know its best to use fresh duck eggs because I've read online that duck egg has a larger yolk than the chicken egg plus their shell is much tougher that gives them a longer shelf life. Some say that duck egg is much better when its cooked because the yolk is more creamy, oily and yummy but sadly to say I just couldn't  find duck egg here, so decided to use chicken eggs.

For those who don't know what is Salted egg is: Its made by soaking the eggs (Duck or Chicken egg) in a brine solution for about 3 weeks or more. The curing period is depends on the climate's temperature. In tropical country like Pinas , salted egg cure after three weeks because of the warm weather they have so I guess here in Sweden where the weather is so cold it will takes much longer than 3 weeks :(  [patience, patience patience misay soon you'll have itlog na maalat for breakfast with sinangag, tuyo, kamatis hmmm yum yum!]
