Egg drop soup is one of my favorite. Thanks for letting us know how to make it.

Have you tried Charlie Chan pasta from Yellow Cab? I want to learn how to make that one too. The chef from our company canteen told me it has hoisin & oyster sauce, but he didn't give me the measurement si when I tried it, the pasta was a bit dry, not sure if you need to add water or something.
