These few days, I am so tired and lazy to cook anything and I actually intends get some roast duck rice for today's dinner. But since it started to drizzle in the evening and it's quite troublesome to bring my kid along I decided to cook a simple vegetable soup to go with rice. So with whatever I can find in the freezer I come out with this all in one soup with "fishball, crabstick, tofu, minced pork and Chinese cabbage".

Barley, Ginkgo Nut & Beancurd Soup
These few days the weather was pretty hot and humid so it is best to drink more water, soup or even a bowl of cooling dessert. This afternoon I prepared mum’s favourite dessert which is the “Barley, Ginkgo Nut & Bean Curd Soup (白果,薏米和腐竹)”. This is a famous Cantonese dessert which is usually taken by pregnant lady because there is myth saying that those mum-to-be who drinks this will help the unborn baby to have a fairer skin. And in order to the creamy version, you need to get hold of the correct type of dessert bean curd sheet too.

Dang Gui Chicken Soup
Asian Chinese love to nourish their bodies with medicinal food but before you starts with any of these herbal soup or dish you have to know what you body is lack with. Just like our body is divided into Yin and Yang and where Yin further sub-divide into weak spirit, weak blood, infirm and nutritionally weak. For example: in cold season we need warm supplement food; summer and autumn require cooling stuffs to reduce body heat so we had to select the right supplement at the correct time or else it could backfire our health.
