At 1 pm, Mrs. Fatasha poured cooking oil on a pan in the sun. Ten minutes later she cracked an egg on it.
At 1:20 p.m., the egg white seemed to start to solidify. Thirty minutes later, she noticed that the white and yolk seemed to solidify.
At 2:15 p.m., the egg appeared to be firm, and 30 minutes later, she was close to a sunny-side up hatch.
At 3:30pm the egg looked like a fully cooked sunny side up version.
Her post, which has been shared more than 2,200 times, drew cheers from others.

On Thursday, the Malaysian Meteorological Department issued a Level 1 heat warning for seven states: Kedah, Kelantan, Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Sabah and Sarawak. The alert comes when the area experiences maximum temperatures between 35°C and 37°C for at least consecutive days, according to the Malay Mail.
Mrs. Fatasha isn’t the only one who tapped into the heat of the sun to fry an egg.
In April, a man in West Bengal, India, did the same, using a pan that was on the terrace of his house.
India is also facing a heat wave, with daytime temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius.
In Singapore, the temperature in Ang Mo Kio reached 37 °C on Saturday, equaling the country’s highest daily maximum temperature, which was recorded in Tengah on April 17, 1983.
It is also the highest recorded temperature for the month of May and the hottest day in 2023.
