home-cooked soup to warm your soul

I am not much of an Asian soup lover. I prefer western soups to Asian soups. However, ET is such a good cook that the soups cooked by him are savoury and irresistible.

Da and I went to the home of the Three Musketeers for dinner last night. The "main course" comprised pig stomach soup with a lot of green leafy vegetables, enoki mushrooms, button mushrooms, meat balls and Japanese toufu served with steamed white rice. Everyone was pleasantly surprised when Supercute ate all the balance green leafy vegetables. That is the way to go, Supercute. Vegetables are good for health.

There was also a "side dish" of fried rice vermicelli (bee hoon). It was tasty and full of ingredients as well.

Pig stomach soup tends to warm up your bodies. As such, to "cool down", everyone shared a large plate of cut fruits. Nining in particular enjoyed the lychees which are currently in season.

Is there more? You bet there is!

Coffee was served with:-
(a) a lemon meringue pie; and
(b) peanut butter and oat muffins,
that I had baked yesterday morning.

After a hot cup of coffee, it was time to "cool down" again. SY and Tau Suan had made some blueberry sorbet today. I was too full to eat my share of the sorbet and hence, I ate some from Da's share. It was delicious! Do post the recipe in your blog soon, SY.

After dinner, we watched cable television. Gosh, there were several programmes dedicated to the memory of Michael Jackson who passed away suddenly on Thursday, 25 June 2009 (Singapore time - Friday morning on 26 June 2009) after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest. Da had the privilege of watching the King of Pop's concert in Singapore in 1993 and he enjoyed the concert tremendously. MJ was a very talented artiste. May he rest in peace.
