Old cucumber and sweet corn soup


Old cucumber soup is one of my favourites. It is clear and very soothing. The old cucumber according to chinese, has cooling element and is perfect for blistering hot day. This soup is also known for 'nourishing' the lungs.


The 'aged' cucumber has thick brown-yellowish skin and gelatinous coating seeds in the inside. Remove the seeds and the flesh is ready to be simmered into a hot tasty soup.



The old fashion recipe to this hearty soup is to add in main ingredients like dried cuttlefish, red dates, scallops, roast pork bones and dried duck meat ... For me, i like to keep it simple. Chicken breast
as the soup will not turn oily and sweet corn to enhance the 'golden' taste.

Egg sandwiches is some of the easiest sandwiches in the world to prepare and they are super-delicious! They're perfect for breakfast, tea-break, picnic or just about anytime and anywhere! Here's my version of classic egg sandwich to share :-
