Regular readers will know im not a veggie person but this is one of the most flavoursome Chinese style vegetable soup i ever tried. Looking at the bright green soup, i was thinking of tasting just a small teaspoon when it was served. However all the food reviewers at my table nodded their heads in approval and raved about it.

It was love at second sight! The thick soup features spinach juice in superior stock  with egg white and fresh prawns and scallops, every spoon is so rich and flavoursome with natural sweetness of the ingredients. There is no hint of vegetable or fishy seafood smell.
