Another weird thing I do, I like to eat this soup with rice and belachan chilli paste :)
Mild soup with pungent belachan as condiment,
ReplyDeletethat's appetizing!
thks Wendy :)
DeleteAlice, it has been a long time since I had this soup & you know what, I actually made a similar version on last wek but hasn't posted yet. I just though of better cook this when I can still get wintermelon in the asian grocery & this is a summer soup, I'm glad to boiled it. When winter comes, I will start cooking herbal soup more often!
ReplyDeleteoh yes i love wintermelon, it's cooling for our body :)
Deleteawaiting for your post on the soup u made :P
I love eating soups with rice and sambal belacan too, with a squeeze of lime. Either that or some sliced spicy chili padi with soy sauce and a squeeze of lime! I do no need any other dishes!! Your soup looks delicious! I'm making some soup tomorrow, white radish soup, another of my family's favourite!
