i manage to get the peanut plant, boiling now.


but ......it's very hard to wash it clean leh, lots of soil attached on the roots and groundnuts.

have been trying to surf the net to get more \"scientific info\" on this peanut plant,
but nothing much avail, any1 has any reading material on it.

Wow you managed to get the peanut plant, Augmum? So how was your soup today? Was it good?

ya, manage to get it fr one of the sheng siong.

The soil n dirt will come off more readily if they are soaked in water for a few hours. Very time consuming to make this soup. I usu. ask my MIL to prepare this soup since she has a maid n a wash area in the yard.

Those living near Bt Timah wet mkt (the one next to Pei Hwa Presbyterian Pri Sch) can visit one of the veg stall to buy this peanut plant. I hv seen it for sale this week.

My children consumed this soup quite regularly last year. My elder boy grows at least 10cm taller (also puberty starting) and my younger boy also grows taller. Other than this peanut soup, it is also good to make slow boiled pork bones soup which is rich in calcium.

wow......Jennifer, so effective ...yr boy after drinking it can grow for 10 cm?
how often does he consume it ??

ya, i did soak and rinse many times,
need to use a toothbrush to slowly brush off the soil...
i wonder how long can i carry on cooking this soup :lol:

Wah wah, I can't keep up with all your threads.....keep having to go back and re-read as the thread grow \"longer\" at a fantastic rate.... :shock:


So, now, what is flying off the shelf - peanut plant? tian qi? pig stomach? thermal pot? I lost count......

Think my children had this peanut root soup at least once a mth then. We stopped when it was the flu season n my younger boy developed a persistent cough. So I switched to pork bones soup then and now pork tail bone soup.

I dun make pork bones soup now- too cumbersome to sieve the residue and remove the layer of oil after cooling it in the fridge. Now I use pork tail bones - less oily.

Haha, I bought it today too - rushed all the way from T. Pagar to Chinatown mkt this morning .. $4 a bunch. That stall just sells plants that are used for healing, as herbs etc. Very interesting. Stallowner said must cut away the leaves, soak the roots & peanut for 30mins then remove the soil. Boil with pork rib or black chicken for 2 hrs.

Well, so long as it works, I don't mind to go all the way there to buy more often!

Wow, so it really worked on your boys, Jennifer! How often and for how long did your boys take the soup?

fortunately, the one i boiled is not bitter.
once a month will do ?? i thot every week must drink then can see the effectiveness.
thks for yr pointer of adding more groundnuts,
ya, by adding it will make the soup tastes better.

i read from the net, they recommend peanuts soup with pig's knuckles.
