Watching 秀才遇着兵 got me craving for soup the past week and my self-resistance attempts were unsuccessful so i finally succumbed and hopped down to Kongs yesterday and bought some chinese herbs. I was too tired after i got home yesterday so i only got down to cooking it today. I think my herbal chicken soup is pretty good actually! Almost comparable to my grandma's (por por)! Of course its not that kind of standard yet but hey, im almost there! The only annoying thing about cooking soup is that it takes hours and for someone like me who doesnt have an inch of patience, the whole waiting game really gets on your nerves. Furthermore, after waiting like 3-4 hours for the soup to simmer, 5 bowls of water ended up becoming only 1 (big) bowl of soup!
