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!

Taste: 4.5/5
