| White Radish, also known as Daikon to many, is a very versatile root vegetable. You could pickle it, stew it, fry it, saute it, cook soup with it and even make a (carrot) cake out of it! I used to hate it whenever Mum cooks this soup as I would always mistake the smell for a gas leak only to realise it's coming from the Radish! As I grew up, I began to appreciate this humble root more when I knew how beneficial it is. Here are some benefits of the White Radish: - Aids weight loss - Aids in digestion - Eases sore joints - Dissolves phlegm - Reinforces energy - Clears stuffy nose - Dissolves gall stones - Regulates metabolism - Improves blood circulation I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| It has been quite a while since I last came up with a recipe post. I have been craving for good quality boiled soup instead of those instanteous soups made with ikan bilis/chicken cubes. Thus, I ordered this soup for lunch at the foodcourt but my tongue felt numb for the rest of the day due to MSG overdose. I decided to make this soup myself so my family could benefit from the cooling properties of the soup. Here are some benefits of Snow Pear: - Stops coughing - Expels heatiness - Dissolves phlegm - Good for respiratory ailments I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Do not be mistaken. This is NOT Shark's Fin Soup with melon. This soup is made with a type of melon called Shark's Fin Melon (鱼翅瓜). This melon is so named because once cooked, the flesh will disintegrate into transparent strands that resembles shark's fins. Do not confuse this melon with it's cousin, Winter Melon although you could prepare them practically the same way! Here are some benefits of the Shark's Fin Melon: - Low in calories - Expels heatiness - Decreases blood sugar I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

| Slow-cooked soups (ie, soup cooked over slow fire for several hours) are particularly popular especially among the Cantonese. Being one myself, soup plays an integral part in my life. I grew up eating rice in soups and I could survive on that for every single meal. Tradition wise, it is also imperative to have soup on the table during festive occasions. Some foods are known for their healing properties and our forefathers have cleverly incorporated such ingredients into soups. Recipes for such soups vary infinitely, depending upon the desired health benefits as well as taste. Here are some benefits of Lotus Root: - Stops diarrhea - Relieves constipation - Clears heat and improve appetite I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
