yes, you can have chicken bones (chicken feet included) with white fungus, add 10-15 red dates (buy them whole and remove seeds) - collagen galore...keeps the complexion suppleHi Andaiz,

.
my \"beauty regime\" (though not very often coz very \"liang\") is white fungus, one slice dried persimmon, orange peel (chen pi), mixed chinese almond (think it's 2/3 nan almond, 1/3 bei almond<that's the bitter one>) plus korean pear boiled whole. Use enough water to cover pear + some more for boiling off.
What you can do (if you don't want to pack from scratch the ingredients) is to buy the \"cough herb\" (which includes most everything except the pear) then follow the instructions plus the pear. Eu Yan San has a good one for this.
Else, can try some herbal soup like liu wei tang (luk mei tong) or si shen (sei san tong) with pork ribs and red dates. -

I know they are good.
Wolfberries are good for eyes but red dates? -
Hi Andaiz,
Thank you for the recommendations.
I will go to Eu Yan Seng for the herbs.
Where do I buy the pear? Supermarket?
How often can I drink the soup? Can the children drink? -
kiasimom:
Yes, markets/fruit stalls do sell them too. Just tell the seller you want to \"dun\" the pear. My MIL has used fragrant pear before (coz no other pears at home).

WRT frequency, depends on your constituents loh. For me if it shows sign of being too liang - which is often
, I'll back down. Kids can drink...my #1 loves it because it's good for the throat (run fei yang yan) while the white fungus provides good veg-based collagen. For my gals, I take out the persimmons/chen pi as it has a strange aftertaste - quite an acquired taste; but add handful of red dates and wolfberries.
If boiling in \"bulk\" for your DS and DD and family, suggest you cut the (include skin) and decore pear(s).
Have fun! -

My mum taught me to let it to cool off totally, which will leave a slight harden layer on the top, which makes it easier to scoop up the oil.
And re-heat it jus b4 serving, which makes the meat/cartilages softer and gooyg, which I love.
We normally boil black beans with pig's tail/skin w/o the fat layer(trim off), chicken feet with peanuts/white beans and tons of garlic.
The veg soup that I love are: watercress with ribs, \"old\" cucumber with ribs, chinese spinach with minced pork.
Don't really like chicken soup, unless its herbal chicken soup.
Anytime, anyday fav got to be simple fresh fish slices with bittergourd and toufu.
Ewek, hving boring yong tau fu for lunch. Should hv ordered fish soup instead :stupid: -
Hmmmm.... I love old cucumber soup too.
Just boil Sharkfin melon soup on Monday and the kids are loving it!
Thanks Andaiz.
Will explore the pear and white fungus soup soon :celebrate:
