Home Cooked Chinese Herbal Soup - Bak Kut Teh

We skipped our walking exercise yesterday morning (81st day MCO) because I overslept. By the time I woke up, the sun was already up and shining brightly. Before breakfast, I went out to water my plants and take some snapshots in the garden.

We went to pick a friend from the car servicing center and from there we went to buy durians.
 The durian seller was in the midst of unloading the durians from his car boot. The local durians were selling at RM 10.00 per kilo.
We came home with the above durians.
The above durians in containers are kept in the fridge.
We love chilled durians.

Dinner
I used the above packet of A1 (AK KOH) Herbal Soup to boil soup.
Ingredients used: 1 packet A1 Herbal Soup, 1 pig's stomach, rib bones, dried shiitake mushrooms, tang kui or Chinese Angelica root, red dates, wolf berries, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and salt to taste.
Chinese Herbal Soup (without rice/noodle) for dinner.
Shining orange Firecracker reflecting the sun light.

Do everything without complaining and arguing,
so that no one can criticize you.
Live clean, innocent lives as children of God,
shining like bright lights in a world
full of crooked and perverse people.
(Philippians 2:14-15, New Living Translation-NLT)

  15. RM10 is soooo cheap! I don't have much luck with cheaper or not-so-cheap durians. Recently I bought MSK at 50+/kg and finally enjoyed my durian.

    1. I prefer local durians even though less flesh and bigger seeds. I didn't check on the price of MSK durians.
