This is a bowl of humble and old fashioned noodles soup that we like, no luxury ingredients are added. We especially love to add Tong Choy (a kind of preserved vegetable) in this noodles soup...

ReplyDeleteI love this glass noodle soup very much. Looks very delicious!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy glass noodle more than beehoon and this kinda clear ikan bilis soup is my top favourite soup.
ReplyDeleteSoy bean.... is it the white-color bean ppl used in dumpling making?
Sonia...this looks good. I love glass noodles in soup or fried . It really taste better than the normal beehoon :)
ReplyDeleteYvonne, no, this is the soy bean use to make soy milk..
ReplyDeleteThis is my kind of comfort food at home, u remind me of mum's cooking.
ReplyDeleteya, adding tong choy makes the soup taste much nicer :)
ReplyDeleteSonia , I love your homemade stock ! I've never made homemade stock before and I usually use canned broth or chicken powder to flavor the soup tsk ! The noodles looks so appetizing and scrumptious ! I also love to add that preserved veggie ;D Yummy post as always !
ReplyDelete"Tong Fun" is one of my favourite noodles. A simple noodles soup is just healthy and appetizing. Tong Choy in the soup makes alot of difference in the taste, right?
ReplyDeleteA simple dish like this looks so special when it was you cooked them! I seldom make noodle soup at home as I don't know how to cook a pot of soup that tastes sweet naturally! Looks like I need to use soy bean? Interesting!
ReplyDeletewow it really bring back the memory..
ReplyDeletei use to eat this glass noodles with fish ball n fish cake when I was a kid..

This is TOTALLY my kind of soup! I love the preserved veggies you put in. Fish balls and fish cakes are my favorite and I can warm up my body. In that sense, this is better than oily ramen! =)

ReplyDeleteThis is such a classic homely food! We love it too. Thank you for the suggestion of adding the tong choi, as I usually put in 雪菜, now I could have an alternative :)
ReplyDelete这个我很喜欢
ReplyDelete很清淡:)
never heard of adding soy bean n wonder how is the taste?
ReplyDeleteYour soup certainly doesn't look humble. I love this soup. And it's funny how I like the Tong Choy with glass noodles but not with any other noodles. I'm probably strange :)
ReplyDeleteI really love 冬粉汤 very much, your home-cooked version looks so good!

ReplyDeleteI love to eat this whenever I go marketing in the wet market, this food is simply lovely!
ReplyDeleteyes, often when I think of Tung Hoon Soup, I think of fishballs and Tong Choy. But I never like Tong Choy, don't know why.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a comforting meal! Whether it's glass noodle or vermencelli, I love it all. Yes yes, the bird chilli makes it even more yum!
