How much did you consume?
Anything green tea flavored that's NOT actually a cup of green tea is gross, really.
Roger that on the tea egg thing. They are awesome. In Taiwan that's what they sell at 7eleven stores instead of hotdogs/deep-fried burritos (or whatever the hell happened to those burrito-looking things).

Oh man.. i'm so hyped.... I'm gonna go make some right now...

How are you making them? Soft-boil first, crack, then boil to hard in tea?
MoreI've tried softboil and hard boil.. It didn't make a difference.Roger that on the tea egg thing. They are awesome. In Taiwan that's what they sell at 7eleven stores instead of hotdogs/deep-fried burritos (or whatever the hell happened to those burrito-looking things).

The Crack method is best if you're in it for the nostalgia, which I AM.. to get the marble pattern to appear on the Egg.
However, If you want the flavor to just GET IN and so you can EAT TOMORROW... Just peel after boiling.. and stew in the pot with all the flavoring..Show Image(http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/bye2-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862494)

This shall be my breakfast tomorrow.
Green tea ice cream is actually quite good. The problem is that you have to make it yourself, or go to a restaurant where they make it. Matcha green tea powder is very expensive. The good stuff costs $60/ pound. There is a medium grade, but that still costs $30/ pound. The low grade stuff is rejected in Japan, and makes its way into corporate ice cream in America, like your Haagen Dazs, and it's horrible. I wouldn't let my dog eat that slop. If you have any more Haagen Dazs, pour it down the toilet, where it belongs.
If you want eggs, you should try a 100 year egg:Show Image(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dd/Arranged_century_egg_on_a_plate.jpg)
For a real treat, you should have some delicious stinky tofu:Show Image(http://thumbs.ifood.tv/files/images/How_to_eat_stinky_tofu_in_the_streets.jpg)
Stinky tofu does smell a little bit like raw ass, so you have to get past that part.Show Image(http://www.whatsonxiamen.com/wine_images/125618204.jpg)

Well, we call it congee. But I guess you can say porridge. Like Oliver Twist.
One more thing: go nuts with this. In China you can walk through a night market and find a bunch of different vendors selling a bunch of different variations on this theme. Boil your eggs in tea and jalapeno pepper sauce? They've done that. Boil your eggs in X and Y sauce? Seriously, the Chinese are laughing: they've been doing that for about 1000 years before any Europeans even heard of the "Indies." I got to the point where I just stopped asking what they were made of because they're all awesome. Seriously. I mean, maybe you have to boil them in water first and then tea for a while before you cook them in Spaghetti Sauce for a while (or in your Stew or Gumbo). Figure out how to do it correctly: to make sure you handle that raw-egg issue - whatever salmonella-f***ing BS food poisoning is associated with raw eggs (I don't know for certain because I'm not a f***ing chef) and you'll never look at a boiled egg the same way again.
Note: All timelines are possibly exaggerations (but only possibly).
Another interesting quote I heard last time I visited China:
We eat: everything in the sky (except the plane); everything on land (except the car) and everything in the sea (except the submarine).
Apropos!
P.S. Also... thanks for putting up with my salty language today. I'm a bit off my stride today.
You need to try one of those made with hokkaido milk ones :thumb:
Make sure you crack the shell sufficiently when cooking the tea eggs, else very little of the solution makes it into the egg
