Daily boiled soup ( SGD 6) - Red and green carrot soup

Apologies for the direct translation from mandarin.
Here's one more -" the older the ginger the spicer" .

There must be a reason why places like boon tong kee ( Balestier) have been drawing in crowds for the longest time . It has withstood the test of time .

I was pleasantly surprised that the daily boiled soups at boon tong kee could be so good. It was as good ( If not better than ) places that profess that they specialise in soups.

The soup was served in an earthen ware which kept it hot for the entire time . This made the soup very enjoyable to drink because I like my soups hot . The Flavours of the red and green carrot as well as the corn were released into to soup through the many hours of slow cooking. The huge chunk of good quality lean meat was so fork tender and delicious that I finished a huge chunk of it ( most of the times for boiled soups outside , the meat would have been either too fatty to eat or too hard and dry ).
At Sgd 6 , this was of very good value ( about 4 small bowls of serving ) .

Definitely a nice complement to the rest of the meal.
