Beef Soup With White Radish (Ngau Lam Tong)

Hubby and I love beef soup (ngau lam soup). There are 2 or 3 places where we go for some nice beef soup in Ipoh. Recently, a friend taught me how to make beef soup. After getting all the necessary ingredients, I made beef soup for dinner for 2 people. The soup was enough for 2 days' dinner.

Beef soup and stuffed white bitter gourd for our dinner.

Went to Ipoh wet market. Bought these from the uncle at the beef stall.

These were then blanched in hot boiling water.

When these were cooked and soft enough, I dished them out from the soup and cut them into bite pieces.

Hubby's bowl of beef soup garnished with spring onion. He didn't like the strong smell of cilantro. My bowl was garnished with cilantro.

Ingredients for cooking beef soup: beef, beef tripe, white radish, star anise, cinnamon stick, ginger, goji berries, red dates, peppercorns, and etc.

The second round I make beef soup was without goji berries and red dates, so the colour of the soup was pale especially with any garnishing.

Japanese roses from my garden.

Saw this in a lawyer's office.

We accompanied a friend who had to sign some papers at the lawyer's office.

For the Lord's sake, obey every law of your government;

those of the king as head of the state, and those of the king's officers,

for he has sent them to punish all who do wrong,

and to honor those who do right.
