Ingredients for the custard
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups of low sodium chicken stock
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp sake - optional
a few dash of white pepper
Filling/topping:
4 small shrimps - blanch in boiling water for 1 min
2 crab stick - cut small
4 slices of carrot - blanch in boiling water for 1 min
Some green peas
some spring onions for garnish
Some aluminium foil

Steps:

1. Prepare a steamer. Bring the water to a rapid bowl and then lower down the heat. 2. Put all the custard ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Strain the mixture over a fine sieve and set it aside. 3. Arrange the filling ingredient into the small cup or remekin. Pour the custard into the remekin. Cover the top of the remekin with a piece of foil so that the steam will not mar the surface of the custard. 4. Steam the custard in gently simmering water for 20 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the egg and if the liquid stay clear, its set. Remove from steamer and serve hot.
