Japan Jyounsai was like a jelly seaweed which gave the soup a light herby taste. The light taste went deep into the palate and warmed up the tummy. Best part of this soup was that the chicken wasn't tough at all!
Each spoonful taken of this ambrosial meat liquor feels like nourishment for the body, and the soul - the consomme is rich, mellow, deep with chicken-y flavour, creamy almost. Pieces of tender chicken fillet, curiously jelly-like Japanese jyounsai(莼菜), crunchy honshimeiji mushrooms and sweet wolf berry add layers of texture and taste.
Beyond mere enjoyment of good food, this dish also strikes close to home, conjuring comforting memories of my Cantonese grandmother and her heartwarming slow-cooked soups. Chicken soup for the soul indeed.
Thanks for the invite @burpple and @restauranthomesg for hosting!

You might have read the Chicken Soup for the Soul series in your adolescent years or even now, but this is truly a comforting bowl of chicken soup for the soul. Using ingredients such as boiled Japan jyounsai, honshimeiji and wolfberries to enhance the flavour and texture, the chicken consommé with chicken fillet brings about a warmth feeling at every sip, just like a hot bowl of soup waiting for you to savour when at home.

This was a very comforting, homely bowl that I'll definitely order again. An interesting medley of textures mainly from the Japan jyounsai - a green plant covered with mucilage that gives a slippery, gelatinous texture; juicy honshimeiji, tender chicken fillet and wolfberries giving additional sweetness to the flavourful chicken consommé.
Here at @restauranthomesg, they want everyone to experience the joy of eating at home and such efforts are evident - you can feel it in the dishes - and best of all, they cater to the health-conscious with no msg added to any dishes, neither are any of the dishes overly oily.
Thank you @restauranthomesg for hosting us and #burpple for the invite😋
