Hatched!


Fresh from their succesful Water Mill task of week five, the housemates carry on their shoulders the much bigger challenge for another victory. Big Brother has just given new task to the housemates early this afternoon, and ever since, everyone cannot think of anything but to succeed.

For this week, the housemates must make at least 500 leche flans stuffed in emptied egg shells. Upon the announcement of the cooking task, everybody was taken aback as in the last cooking task which was "Room Service," the housemates failed miserably.
The housements went to carry on with the task regardless of the difficulty. Kuya's instruction was to take the yolk and white from the egg without breaking the shell. Large syringes were provided to siphon the yolk and the egg white and preserve the shell. Despite the meticulous procedure, the housemates successfully siphoned all the eggs. When the leche flan mixture was prepared, the housemates painstakingly inject the mixture back into the shell.
The challenging part, however, was the steaming of the leche flan egg. The housemates thought that all they needed to do was cover the tiny holes in the shell, place the eggs in the steamer, and wait for a few minutes. Unfortunately, they didn't expect that the shells might crack while being steamed, and so they did. Wendy was shocked when she opened the cooker and saw the leche flan leaked from the holes. The housmates immediately remedied the problem by lessing the leche flan content inside the shells and by allowing one hole open to let the heat out.
Making leche flan eggs may not be as easy as it may seem, but our housemates believe that with their teamwork and determination, success may happen again. Will Kuya like the leche flans that our housemates will make? Are our housemates destined to a glorious Easter Sunday? Keep watching Pinoy Big Brother Season 2 for this story and more.
