I can't resist chinese herbal soup mainly because it helps to regulates various bodily function from the extract of the natural substances contained in the herbs and spices after long hour of simmering. My mom have slow down indulging this nutritious soup due to high blood pressure. I got her approval to order the following food which are infused by mild taste of herbs. 
My mom..Honey Mandarin with Lychee (RM5.90)
slight citrus taste and not too sweet...best if add some ice cubes
*Helps to moisture lungs and voice **
My...Snow Jelly with Gingko (RM8.90)..
lots of soft snow jelly and gingko nuts boiled with dried longans
**Helps to revitalize & nourish skin**
Brown Rice (RM2) ...fluffy & fragrant
**Helps to control blood sugar level & control cholesterol**
Premium Mixed Seafood Hotpot (RM29.90)
'20 cents size' dried scallops, '50 cents size' dried mushrooms, slices of fresh abalone, chunky fish maws & sea asparagus boiled in sweet chicken broth..salivating now!
**Helps to nourish & strengthen physique**
Steamed Cod Fish with Dried Scallops and Bei Qi (wolf berries) RM23.90
fish was slightly over cooked but tasted good with the presence of juicy dried scallops gravy
**Helps to rejuvenate energy**
Black Sesame Buns (RM9.90)
bun was hot and soft and best eaten with the braised chicken and black fungus cooked with herbs
After our meal, we felt quite extremely thirsty and even few glasses of plain water doesn't help to clear the 'dosage of MSG' from our mouth. Well, I still prefer my home cooked version of nutritious soups.
I love herbal soups... Yum! Got herbal pig brain soup? Used to eat a long time ago in Singapore (1970s) and and chicken ginseng at a coffee shop at Bukit Bintang (1980s) - no more there. VERY nice!

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, this restaurant does not sell such an exotic soup unlike stalls at the road side.
