Chicken Soup with Sea Coconut by aunty loh

I love soup very much and i just couldn’t stop myself to have 2 or 3 bowls of soup continuously in order to keep my belly satisfied. hehe.  There is nothing best than having a bowl of hot and yummy soup in front of you, right after you are come back home from an extremely stressful workplace , it is even best if it is prepared by your loved one. Ngek Ngek.

I believe most of the Chinese also view soup as a soul and indispensable part of a perfect meal as i do.

Frankly to say, i am quite bored to have the almost same soup everyday. I WANT SOMETHING NEW!! and i wish TO DISCOVER MORE DELICIOUS SOUP!! So, i have bought a recipe book which included more than 100 types of most popular soup  from China, South-east Asia and Western Countries. Some soups have the healing qualities as well. Hopefully i have enough patient to try every single recipe  

Today, i have boiled the first soup in the recipe book and i wish to share the recipe of Chicken Soup with Sea Coconut to those who are interested   According to the recipe book, this soup heals coughing, reduces night time urination as well as nourished the lungs and skin.

Ingrdients:

300g sea coconut
1 chicken
19g red dates (stoned)
12-16 cup water
pinch of salt

Method:

1. Clean the chicken. Scald and rinse in cold water.

2. Peel the outer coat of sea coconut. Stone red dates. Put both in a pot and add water.

3. Bring water to the boil. Put chicken in a pot. It takes about 15 minute for the soup to boil after adding the chicken. Once it boilds, turn to low heat and simmer for 3 hours.

4. Sprinkle salt to season.

Da da.. this is the outcome!~

The taste is really fresh to me. *thumbs up* This is what i am looking for. Something different and Delicious!

Few days before, I heard that Balsam Pear 苦瓜 can fight for pimples. I hate Balsam Pear   But i hate my pimples even more.  So, no choice, this evening i have bought some balsam pear from hypermarket and mixed it with orange and blended into juice.

Surprisingly, the taste is not as bitter as i thought. Maybe i have added in orange to neutral back its bitterness. Quite a healthy juice because no sugar is added. I am thinking to make it as a habit to have a cup of blended vege / fruit juice everyday. Yeah… this is a way toward a healthy life.. 

I have heard many to say that  The way to man’s heart is through his stomach. I dunno how true it is? We gals all know how we feel when boyfriend gives us flowers, maybe men feel this same way when a woman cooks for them?

Whatever lah.. But i do believe that when you make his stomach happy, you also make his heart happy! 

When men are fed, men are happy. 

So girls out there, Sek Zhou lah!

and also man out there, i believe the easiest way to approach a girl successfully is to cook her a perfect meal. It saved you alot of time and money. hehehe. 

Dunno when only i can eat something cook by unclechan leh? haiz….
