Petite Rose Cakes

Eggs are one of the common ingredients use in the culinary world. Eggs are so versatile that it has become a must in most household (unless you are a vegetarian).

I know that in my household its a must therefore I normally buy the Eggs which contain Omega 3 or pasteurize eggs. It is said that these type of eggs are safe to comsume in a regular basis .

Pasteurization (or pasteurisation) is the process of applying heat on object for the purpose of destroying viruses and harmful organisms such as bacteria, protozoa, molds, and yeasts in that object.

Pasteurize eggs are slightly expensive where 6 eggs costs about RM7+. There are two types available which are with Omega 3 and DHA. For kids its always advisable to buy the one containing DHA.
