I had been wanting to make Lor Mai Kai for very long time ago, after seeing quite a few of my friends posting in their Facebook and blogs. Ingredients were anytime readily available but it's the lazy me inside which did not fulfill my craving for it.
Tonight, I decided to carry forward this long waiting to do dish for the kids' breakfast the next day before school. I have no regrets to sacrifices my rest time. Thanks Gwen for her recipe.
