Dear soup lovers,
Welcome to the homemade chinese soups website! Many chinese restaurants serve wonderful luxurious chinese soups such as shark fin soup and Buddha jumps over the wall using expensive ingredients and elaborate cooking techniques. When they are served, they are both a feast for the eyes and for the stomach. A gastronomical experience indeed! But magical experiences with chinese soups happen in the humble home kitchen. Made at home, with simple inexpensive ingredients, using simple cooking methods, using simple cooking utensils. Served piping hot, with love. That's MAGICAL!
Singapore is a small tropical island republic at the tip of the Malay peninsula. We are not part of China although there are many chinese here. We are a small independent state in Southeast Asia. Visit Uniquely Singapore to find out more about my home country. My grandfather came from the Fujian province in south China a long time ago. I was born in Singapore and lived here all my life. Like many Singaporean Chinese, I grew up with chinese soups at the dining table. It is such a common sight that for many years chinese soups were just part of the meal. Nothing special. When I am younger, I enjoyed food that are fried, oilier and saltier. As I grew older, I am more appreciative of chinese soups. Not only do they taste great, they are beneficial to health. They have more micro nutrients, less oil, less salt, and are easier on the digestive system. I have chinese soups whenever I am home for dinner because my grandmother makes them for me. You can say I've rediscovered the magic of homemade chinese soups. I'm not the only one who love chinese soups, many of my friends are simply crazy about chinese soups. I'm quite sure all their mums (even those who aren't great in the kitchen) can make a few yummy chinese soups. This is because they are really not that difficult to make. One of the reasons I created this website on homemade chinese soups is to share my experiences and what I have learnt about chinese soups. I enjoy chinese soups and hope many other people would too. I know many people are interested in chinese food but are unfamiliar with chinese ingredients, chinese cooking tools and preparation methods. Let me be your guide with this website. May you find magic at my website too. Happy Souping! Phoebe
