Traditional Chinese Soup !

2009-07-13T21:32:00.008+08:00

13th July 2009

Soup has been part of the chinese culture for century. I grew up in a family where soups were being served almost daily, most importantly during dinner. I was told by mum that soup helps in cooling the body.

One of my her favourite phrases was " Yam Doh Ti Tong la, Tin Hei Hou Heng. Ha Foh ah!" it literally means " the weather is really hot, drink more soup, it helps in cooling "

Yea, a way of preventing one from getting fevers, etc.

It has something to do with the " Ying & Yang " in our body.

First up ,

Watercress Soup

Lotus Root Soup

Old Cucumber Soup
Best served in country like Brunei where it is hot & humid all year round.
It provides cooling effects for the body to counter the heats.

Black Pepper Soup with Pig's Stomach
Spicy based where it uses a mixture of white and black pepper.
It's good when you're feeling too cold.

and One more important notes.....

Nutritionists believe that drinking soups before and during meals is good because it reduced the occurrence of gastritis and esophagitis. It also helps to mix up the food in the stomach aiding digestion and nutrition absorption.

Alright, and that marks the end of today's edition...

23rd June 2009

Enough with food, and indulge yourself with some homemade Teh-Tarik !
Yes, Teh Tarik !

I'm a real fussy guy when it comes to Teh C -Ping, Kopi-O,etc.
Man, those restaurants out there just simply brew it for you!
It's just either too sweet without the taste of Tea, or just simply full of milk.
Well, what i think was , they basically just simply poured it to the cup, as long as it seems "Brownish" in colour. where the fact, it just taste real awful !

....and now i'm gonna show you some Teh Tarik that i made it myself at home!

"Black Tea" & Pots

Sackcloth bag or infamously known as "Pantyhose"
where tea is usually put in the sackcloth bag before the water is added to the pot to filter it out

A Homemade Teh-Tarik Ping!

Teh-Tarik India

and my very own creation.
no idea how it should be named.
Just Coffee in layered form. *LOL*

I've tried to make the HongKong Style
"Ying Yong "
鴛鴦奶茶
but it turned out different.

P/S : *The 3 musketeers who's heading to HK real soon. try steal the recipes from the "Dai Pai Dong" for me. Kamxiaa!! hehe (:
