It was my first time stepping into a Lao Huo Tang restaurant when most of the time I had seen them in food courts. While a bowl of soup would cost at least S$9.80 here, I was really thrilled because the waitress told me that all soups are entitled to one round of refill, and this bowl was bigger than the standard soup bowls for double-boiled soups.

But the thing that really impressed me with this bowl of Pork Rib with Apple & Snow Pear Soup (S$9.80) was that it was light and naturally sweetened by the boiled fruits. Said to have detoxifying and beautifying effects, the soup was also not loaded with excessive amounts of sodium. Pairing it with a bowl of brown rice, I would say that this meal itself was simple with a touch of bliss.
