My sister is very active in the RC (Residents' Committee) and she gets to meet the MP (Member of Parliament) whenever there's an event in their neighbourhood. She learns this soup dish from her MP, Mr Baey Yam Keng and I've been cooking it whenever I need a quick fix. I have another recipe of cooking bitter gourd with carrot but for that recipe, I need to simmer the soup for an hour.
No hard and fast rules, no exact recipe. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your family's need.
